Jason Evans

Professor, Climate Change Research Centre, University of New South Wales

Jason did his PhD at the Australian National University before working for several as a research fellow at Yale University, USA. He then took an academic position at the University of New South Wales, Australia, where he is currently a Professor in Climate Science. Jason has held multiple leadership positions within elements of the World Climate Research Program including currently serving on the CORDEX Science Advisory Team. Jason is an expert in the science of the climate system particularly in regards to land-atmosphere interactions, the water cycle and regional climate change. His research investigates regional climate processes, how global climate change manifests itself at regional and local scales, and how these changes impact climate change risks to various human and natural systems. He uses convection permitting climate modelling to investigate these questions at scales that are relevant for key processes that generate various climatic hazards and are meaningful for decision making.
