Perspectives on the quality of climate information for adaptation decision support

Editors

  • Marina Baldissera Pacchetti

    Marina Baldissera Pachetti is an interdisciplinary scholar whose research draws from history and philosophy of science, environmental social science and physical climate science to address knowledge production and uptake issues in climate change science. She is particularly interested in how these issues materialize in the context of climate change adaptation.

  • Suraje Dessai

    Suraje Dessai is Professor of Climate Change adaptation at the University of Leeds (United Kingdom). His interdisciplinary research lays at the interface between climate science and decision science, particularly on decision making under deep uncertainty, perception of climate risks and the science-policy interface in climate change impacts, adaptation and services.

  • David A. Stainforth

    David A. Stainforth mainly investigates Climate model, Climate change, Greenhouse gas, Meteorology and Global warming. His research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Climatology, Probability density function, Global change and Climate sensitivity. His Meteorology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Geodesy, Ocean general circulation model, Free surface and Barotropic fluid.

  • Erica Thompson

    Erica Thompson Erica works on the appropriate use of mathematical modelling to support real-world decisions, from mathematical and statistical questions about methodologies of inference from models, to psycho-social questions about the formation of confidence and the role of expert judgement. Her interdisciplinary programme of research encompasses ethical and methodological questions about the development and use of models in a range of policy-relevant contexts including climate change, public health, economics, and finance.

  • James Risbey

    James Risbey works on climate variability and processes, climate diagnostics, forecast verification, and climate applications in the Climate Variability and Hazards team at CSIRO. He is a principal research scientist at CSIRO Oceans & Atmosphere. His research focuses on the development and use of climate information for societal applications. A major focus of the work is the provision of weather and climate hazard information and uncertainty for the Australian Climate Service and climate-sensitive sectors including water and agriculture sectors.
