March 7th 2022: Dr. Emanuele Bevacqua (Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research – UFZ)
time: 9am MST, 11am EST, 4pm GMT, 5pm CET
Advancing our understanding of summertime and wintertime compound events via SMILEs
Emanuele Bevacqua is a postdoc scientist working at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research – UFZ, Germany. He studies weather and climate extreme events and their projected changes taking a compound event perspective that considers combinations of multiple drivers that lead to societal/environmental impacts.
—## February 7th 2022: Dr. Yue Li (University of California Irvine) time: 9am MST, 11am EST, 4pm GMT, 5pm CET
The potential of using large-ensemble simulations to explore climate-land use interactions
Dr. Yue Li is a postdoc working at the University of California, Irvine. His research interests include vegetation-climate feedback, land-use change, Earth system modeling, and global biogeochemical cycles
February 7th 2022: Dr. Emanuele Bevacqua (Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research – UFZ)
time: 9am MST, 11am EST, 4pm GMT, 5pm CET
Advancing our understanding of compound hot-dry events via SMILEs
November 8th 2021: Yona Silvy (Sorbonne Université/LOCEAN/IPSL, Paris)
time: 9am MST, 11am EST, 4pm GMT, 5pm CET
Processes of anthropogenic heat emergence from ocean internal variability in the IPSL large ensemble
Yona is currently finishing her PhD at LOCEAN-IPSL in Paris, where she worked on the emergence of temperature and salinity changes in the ocean interior. She mainly used CMIP5 models and the IPSL-CM6 large ensemble to investigate anthropogenic changes and internal variability, and ran ocean-only experiments with the NEMO3.6 model to propose a decomposition of the physical mechanisms causing these changes. She is invested in reducing the carbon footprint in academia along with her colleagues at LOCEAN.
October 18th 2021: Dr. Nicola Maher (University of Colorado, Boulder)
time: 9am MDT, 11am EDT, 4pm BST, 5pm CEST
The role of model-to-model differences and internal variability in causing uncertainty in climate projections
Nicola is currently a CIRES Visiting Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Colorado, Boulder working primarily on variability in the Pacific Ocean and it’s global impacts in both the recent past and future projections. Nicola is interested in climate variability and change, and using new methods and SMILEs to investigate climate.

September 13th 2020: Dr. Andrea Dittus (University of Reading)
time: 9am MDT, 11am EDT, 4pm BST, 5pm CEST
Role of aerosol forcing for recent Pacific decadal variability and other applications of large climate model ensembles

Andrea is a research scientist at the National Centre for Atmospheric Science and Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading. Her research focuses on understanding various aspects of historical and future climate variability and change. She is particularly interested in understanding how different forcing agents such as greenhouse gases and anthropogenic aerosols interact with internal variability, to shape the climate we experience across the globe.
EGU special
For the next webinars taking place in May, we have a special format: for each webinar (duration 1 hour), we invite 3 speakers who also present in the SMILE session at EGU to talk about their work.
