Trained as a physist, I devoted my PhD to the modelling of glacial-interglacial cycles. After four years as a palaeoclimate research scientist at the Met Office Hadley Centre, I developed a research team of "theoretical climatology" at UCLouvain, Belgium. We study climate variabliity on a wide range of time scales, using a hierarchy of climate models and with a focus on earth-life interaction, and the response of climate to astronomical forcing.

I did my PhD research on climate dynamics and dynamical meteorology, my post-doctoral work on climate change impacts on stratospheric chemistry and my academic research on paleoclimate modeling, satellite climate observation, and wind energy/climate change interactions. More recently, I've been in the renewable energy prediction field, developing and improving systems to prediction wind and solar generation and electrical demand fluctuations on time scales from 5 minutes to several days.

I am a senior lecturer (associate professor) at the University of Glasgow and investigate climate change and Earth system dynamics. I focus primarily on the interactions between climate and landscapes in mountains and coastal regions. I employ process-based models, empirical-statistical models, and techniques from AI. I am an advocate of „open science“ and multilateral collaboration, and an active member of the European Geosciences Union (EGU). I serve as a topical editor for the journals Earth System Dynamics and Geoscience Communication. Recent outreach efforts include the development of open and accessible educational materials about climate science and Earthquakes.

Kira Rehfeld studied Computer Science, Medical Physics, and Physics at Heidelberg University, and worked on quantifying spatio-temporal relationships in climate during her PhD at the Potsdam-Institute for Climate Impact Research and HU Berlin until 2013. Since 2018 she lead the Emmy Noether group STACY. Since 2021 she holds the professorship for Climatology at Tübingen University. To study Earth system dynamics, her group runs climate model experiments, studies ice cores, speleothems and pollen as environmental recorders, combining this with complex systems science. They focus on climate model abilities for simulating climate variability, the role of forcing processes for the continuous spectrum of climate, and carbon dioxide removal.

Roland Séférian is a research scientist at the Centre National de Recherches Météorologiques of Météo-France. His research activity focuses on the study of the climate system and the global carbon cycle and their interactions. Through his work as a Earth system modeller, he is developing a numerical representation of the global carbon cycle that is used in the Météo-France Earth System Model. Since his contribution as lead author to the IPCC 1.5°C Special Report published in 2018, Roland Séférian has focused his research on an interdisciplinary approach encompassing the understanding of climate mechanisms, impacts and links with climate policies. In this capacity, he coordinates a European research project called ESM2025 (https://www.esm2025.eu), which aims to develop a new family of climate models better suited to address societal issues requiring interdisciplinary knowledge around climate change mitigation.
