Edgar Dolores-Tesillos is a Postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Geography, University of Bern, focusing on climate impacts. His research examines atmospheric blockings associated with extreme events such as heatwaves and their role in generating persistent weather conditions. Dr. Dolores-Tesillos points out that traditional climate models often inadequately represent atmospheric blockings in the context of current climate change. His work involves the nextGEMS project, which aims to develop a new generation of atmospheric models that resolve physical equations at higher resolutions to allow explicit convection. This project, which includes collaboration with 26 institutes, seeks to implement blocking identification indexes in storm-resolving climate models, facilitating comparison with various studies and datasets. The research aims to investigate how changes in atmospheric blocking trends correlate with climate warming, contributing to a better understanding of the impacts of climate change on weather patterns and extremes.
