ERA4CS SUMMER SCHOOL (ERA4CS-SS) will

focus on Climate Services in a

philosophical and technical approach, providing multidisciplinary,

up to date view of the latest observations, models, projections,

adaptation strategies, and services from the users perspective to

mitigate climate change impacts with research and education.

26 Climate Service projects funded by ERA4CS wi l l boost

research and useable climate knowledge for society. From the

Copernicus regulation (EU) 377/2014: "the Climate Change service shall

provide information to increase the knowledge base to support adaptation

and mitigation policies. It shall in particular contribute to the provision of

Essential Climate Variables (ECVs), climate analyses, projections and

indicators at temporal and spatial scales relevant to adaptation and

mitigation strategies for various Union's sectoral and societal benefit areas."

This development is of critical importance from both research and societal

point of view. Climate information will be the basis for generating a wide

variety of climate indicators and services aimed at supporting adaptation

and mitigation policies in Europe in a number of sectors.

The aim of ERA4CS-SS is to find common language on Climate Services for

the projects, teach basis of Climate Services.

Vulcanologia (INGV) and he is part of the “Climate Simulations and Prediction” (CSP) Division of

the Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici (CMCC). He has 15 years of experience

in climate modelling and simulations. During this period, he has contributed to the development

of several general circulation models (e.g., INGV-SXG, CMCC-Med, CMCC-CM CMCC-CM2)

and has performed a number of climate scenario simulations and projections (CMIP3, CMIP5). He

has been partner in several international projects, such as the project FIRB-GRID.it, PRISM,

ENSEMBLES, CIRCE, FUME and NextData. His main research interest is on extreme events such as

Tropical Cyclones with particular focus on their interaction with the Climate System. He has been

member of the TCMIP (Tropical Cyclone Model Intercomparison Project) and member of the US-

CLIVAR Hurricane Working Group since 2011. Since 2014, he is teacher of the “General

Circulation Models” course for the “Science and Management of the Climate Change”

Doctorate Programme of the Cà Foscari University of Venice. He is author of more than 35 peer-

reviewed publications.

STEVENS Sally - Institute for Environmental Analytics, University of Reading

Communications & Marketing Manager at The Institute For Environmental Analytics, Science &

Media Communications, Trainer. A widely experienced media, marketing and communications

professional and a former national newspaper journalist (UK) now working in climate science and

data analytics, translating science and emerging technologies into accessible language for a

wide range of audiences.

As a media trainer I have delivered science communications courses to European and global

climate scientists and early career researchers, giving a valuable insight into the context and

practicalities of working with non-specialist journalists and newsroom processes. I write

compelling, accessible case studies for the research and charitable sectors, as well as producing

online content and press and social media campaigns.

STREET Roger - Environmental Change Institute, University of Oxford

Roger Street joined the University of Oxford in 2006 after working for over 30 years within the

Canadian federal government much of which focused on climate, impacts and adaptation. He

is a Research Fellow within the Environmental Change Institute, University of Oxford where he

provides strategic and technical advice on climate risk, adaptation and resilience assessments

and planning. This builds on his experience in leading and supporting national assessments in

Canada, the US and the UK, and developing assessment processes internationally. He works

within the UK and internationally on develop and presenting knowledge and evidence to inform

assessments, planning and implementation in the context of adaptation and resilience. This has

included being the rapporteur within the Expert Group brought together by the European

Commission to establish the European research and innovation Roadmap on Climate Services.

Internationally this has also included working in Ireland (as a member of the Adaptation

Committee), China and Brazil, and with colleagues within the European Environment Agency.

The foci of this work are on informing and improving understanding of adaptation assessment

processes, supporting adaptation decision-making and enhancing engagement and

knowledge exchange to inform decisions and research.

Roger Street has been strongly involved in various activities of JPI Climate since 2011 and has

been chairman of the former Management Committee of JPI Climate. In the context of ERA4CS

he has been mandated to lead on a synergy and mismatch analysis as well as to work on an

Implementation Strategy for Climate Services research.

TERRADELLAS Enric - Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (AEMET)

Terradellas Enric is a meteorologist with the State Meteorological Agency of Spain (AEMET) since

1980. He has participated in a number of national and international projects in the fields of

climatology, remote sensing, numerical weather prediction, micrometeorology and

atmospheric composition. Since 2015 he is the chair of the Steering Committee of the World

Meteorological Organization’s Sand and Dust Storm – Warning Advisory and Assessment System

(SDS-WAS). He leads the work package on user involvement and dissemination of the ERA4CS

Dust Storms Assessment for the development of user-oriented Climate services in Northern Africa,

the Middle East and Europe (DustClim) project.

VAN OLDENBORGH Geert Jan - Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute, Royal

Netherlands Meteorological Institute

Senior researcher at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI). He has worked on El

Niño dynamics, seasonal forecasting and verification, decadal predictions, regional climate

change and attribution of extreme weather and climate events. He is also well-known for his

climate analysis web site KNMI Climate Explorer (climexp.knmi.nl), which has a large collection

of climate data (observations, analyses, reanalyses and model output) and the possibility to do

statistical analyses, such as trend analyses, forecast verification and extreme value analysis for

attribution.

VON HARDENBERG Jost – Istituto di Scienze dell’Atmosfera e del Clima - Consiglio

Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR-ISAC)

Since 2007, he has been working at ISAC-CNR as staff scientist, dealing with modelling climate

and the fundamental processes which regulate the system earth, particularly geophysical flows,

biosphere-climate interactions, the hydrological cycle and the development and application of

stochastic precipitation downscaling methods. Current work includes numerical simulations with

the EC-Earth global climate model, with applications to the study of climate impacts in the

Arctic, the Mediterranean and the Himalayan regions and the study of precipitation extremes.

He is the Italian representative in the steering group of the European EC-Earth consortium (2013-

today). He is reviewer for several international peer-reviewed journals (more than 60 reviews

since 2004).Reviewer for national science foundations in Israel (ISF), Germany (DFG), France

(ANR) and The Netherlands (NWO). Convener of several sessions at the annual meeting of

European Geosciences Society (EGU) and coordinator of the theme "Timeseries and Patterns" of

the division "Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics" from 2004 to 2012.

WEST Jennifer Joy – CICERO Center for International Climate Research

West is a senior social scientist at CICERO specialising in international environment and

development studies, with 15 years of interdisciplinary research experience working at the

intersection between climate change impacts, vulnerability and adaptation, agricultural

development, and human dimensions of global environmental change in Norway and

internationally.
