Climate: Past, Present & Future

Laura Detjen

My name is Laura Detjen and I am a PhD student at the Climate Service Center Germany (GERICS) in Hamburg, Germany, where I am working with the regional climate model REMO. My research focuses on convection-permitting regional climate modelling of meteorological extremes, mainly extreme precipitation, under past and future global warming. I am interested in land-atmosphere interactions, including the role of land use, land cover and soil moisture for extreme precipitation events.

Can we improve our understanding of extreme precipitation events in the Sichuan Basin by using high-resolution regional climate models?

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]
