Program > Keynote speakers

Bias Correction in Climate Studies 3rd workshop will feature key speakers who are experts in cutting-edge scientific topics, offering in-depth insights into the latest advancements in their fields.

List of confirmed keynote speakers (to be updated soon):

• Faranak Tootoonchi, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences - SLU (Sweden), "Uni- and multivariate bias correction methods for hydrological simulations: Trade-offs between complexity and performance"

Faranak is a postdoc at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU - Sweden), currently visiting the department of earth and atmospheric sciences at Cornell University (USA). She works with statistical methods with different levels of complexity to understand climate change impacts on various processes and to forecast future impacts. Currently, she looks into changing winter climate conditions in high-latitudes and explore how these changes cascade into other seasons and impact the agricultural sector. She received her PhD in 2022 from Uppsala University (Sweden), with the thesis focusing on comparison of different bias correction methods for hydrological applications in the Nordic region.

 

• Gerhard Krinner, Institute of Environmental Geosciences - CNRS (France), "Run-time bias corrections in an atmospheric GCM"

Gerhard Krinner is a CNRS senior scientist at IGE Grenoble. He has been mainly working with atmospheric and surface model on questions related to high-latitude climate (ice-sheet - climate interactions, seasonal snow cover, permafrost carbon feedback, etc.). More recently, he became interested in run-time bias corrections in atmospheric models, particularly for climate projections. He was an IPCC lead author in the 5th and 6th assessment cycles and coordinated in particular the long-term change section in the AR6 Synthesis Report (2023).
