website: https://sites.google.com/view/nari-im/

Nari Im (she/her) is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Earth and Environment at Boston University. With a background in Atmospheric Sciences and Science, Technology, and Society (STS), her research explores climate extremes, such as compound events involving heatwaves and heavy rainfall, focusing on their underlying mechanisms. She applies machine learning methods to enhance climate predictions and ultimately seeks to connect scientific findings with environmental policymaking.

James Larson (he/him) is a PhD student in the Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University. He is interested in societal-climate interactions and how they can be represented in models. Prior to this project, during his master’s degree, James explored how ocean currents leave their signature on climate variability. Outside of research, James is involved in community-based solutions to food insecurity. Please feel welcome to reach out with any questions and inquiries to collaborate!
