2017 - Jingwan Li
Project description
2014 – 2017
Jingwan was one of our own undergraduates who started with Ashish, Fiona and Jason Evans (from the CCRC) on estimating changes to IFDs in future climates using high resolution RCM simulations. She has developed one of the coolest RCM IFD bias correction approaches out there - taking into account the bias in rainfall amounts (nothing unusual about this) as well as the bias in sampling different types of extremes (such as convective versus non-convective - this being the main innovation as RCMs are pretty bad on this front.
Her PhD consisted of the following papers:
