About the Event
The Belgian Climate Centre is organising a new seminar of the Climate Cookies & Coffee series:
Predictability of north Pacific blocking events : Analogue based analysis of historical MIROC6 simulations

Presenter: Anupama Kuttikkat Xavier (Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium / UCLouvain)
Biography: Anupama K. Xavier is a Research Associate at the University of Bristol, following her doctoral research at the Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium and Université catholique de Louvain. Her PhD work, conducted within the Marie Skłodowska-Curie ITN EDIPI, analysed the variability and predictability of atmospheric blocking using a hierarchy of models ranging from idealised frameworks to CMIP6 simulations. She holds a Master of Science in Meteorology from the Cochin University of Science and Technology (2021) and a Bachelor of Science in Physics from the University of Calicut (2019). Her current research at Bristol focuses on the holistic risk assessment of solar geoengineering, specifically the impacts of stratospheric aerosol…
