Climate: Past, Present & Future

Julia Curio

My name is Julia Curio, I am an atmospheric scientist and currently hold a researcher position at the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. My research interests include the weather and climate of high mountain environments, mainly the Tibetan Plateau and surrounding regions, looking at different aspects of the water cycle, e.g. precipitation variability and atmospheric moisture transport. Currently I focus on mesoscale storm systems and try to understand how they can lead to precipitation extremes downstream of the Tibetan Plateau and how they are connected to the large-scale atmospheric circulation. I am also working with social scientists in two interdisciplinary projects focusing on the effects of climate change on human mobility and its various drivers in different regions.

Invited guest from the EGU 2024 Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Award Context The Sichuan Basin, located at the eastern slope of the Tibetan Plateau in China, is a lowland region that regularly experiences heavy rainfall during the summer months. This is due to its complex topographical features (Fig. 1) and the influence of the East Asian monsoon. The heavy rainfall can ...[Read More]
