Portrait of Hans Chen

Hans Chen

Assistant Professor

I lead the Climate Dynamics Group at Chalmers. I obtained my PhD in Meteorology and Atmospheric Science from The Pennsylvania State University. My research interests include climate variability, synoptic-scale atmospheric dynamics, Arctic climate change, inverse modeling of carbon dioxide, and data assimilation.

Postdoc

I am currently dedicated to research in the field of global carbon and water cycles, with a particular interest in studying the response of vegetation to climate change. Furthermore, I have also explored the topic of asymmetric warming on land surfaces.

Portrait of Hari Nair

Hari Nair

Postdoc

I’m a climate and atmospheric scientist with a background in environmental science and engineering, currently working as a postdoctoral researcher at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. My research explores the complex interactions between aerosols, atmospheric transport, and climate dynamics, with a particular focus on black carbon and its role in Arctic climate change.

Postdoc

I am a postdoctoral researcher studying the link between extreme climate events and vulnerable populations. I analyse historical feedback between climate shocks and social resilience to forecast future risk hotspots, which informs the development of dynamic adaptation strategies and climate resilience solutions.
