Flavio Lehner obtained his PhD in Climate Science from the University of Bern, Switzerland, in 2013. He briefly worked as a Science Officer for the Technical Support Unit of the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report before joining the Climate Global Dynamics Lab at NCAR with a fellowship from the Swiss National Science Foundation in 2014. He was later awarded a NOAA postdoctoral fellowship and continued at NCAR’s Research Applications Lab. He transitioned to a Project Scientist position at NCAR, where he co-led various projects. Most recently, he was a Senior Scientist at ETH Zürich in Switzerland before joining Cornell as an Assistant Professor in fall 2020. His research investigates the influence of both internal and externally forced variability on understanding and projecting climate change at global and regional scales, aiming to improve the understanding of the dynamics that govern variability and the associated uncertainties involved in climate projections. He uses a toolbox that includes analysis of coupled climate models, hydrologic model simulations, climate reconstructions, and observations, which has facilitated his engagement in diverse applications from paleoclimate reconstructions to hydroclimate impact studies.
