đWe want to hear from you and your exciting research! Always wanted to make your research more visible? If youâre interested in joining the CompoundNET early career network, or even featuring as an EC of the month, this is your chance to đď¸ fill out this form.
Our Early Career Researcher (ECR) of the Month for July 2024 is James Carruthers!Â
James is currently in the third year of his PhD at Newcastle University, United Kingdom (UK). Jamesâs research topic explores changes to seasonal winter precipitation extremes in the UK.
Jamesâs recent work has been examining the role of dynamic and thermodynamic factors in influencing observed changes in sub-seasonal and seasonal precipitation and flooding in the UK. He has also been evaluating the ability of a range climate models in representing the large-scale dynamics which lead to these extremes, finding deficiencies in persistent cyclonic conditions over the North Atlantic. James is really interested in the processes which drive persistence in the climate system and how these lead to preconditioned compound events.
Outside of work, James is a big Arsenal fan. Come on you Gunners!
