Jason Evans

I am a Professor at the Climate Change Research Centre at the University of New South Wales. My research is focused on understanding regional climate phenomena including climate hazards. My work improves how we model these phenomena in regional climate models, and using these models to project how they will change in a future warmer climate. I also investigate general issues of water cycle processes over land, and how we can change them, largely through changes in land use and changes in climate. I focus at the regional (or watershed) scale and study processes including river flow, evaporation/transpiration, water vapour transport and precipitation. The main tools of my research are models including regional climate models, land surface and hydrology models. Of course modelling needs to be informed by data and along with in-situ data, I use satellite data and weather radars. Professional affiliations and service positions: I am Science Advisory Team member for the World Climate Research Programmes (WCRP) CORDEX program, and coordinator of the AustralAsia CORDEX domain, a major program of the WCRP. I am section editor for the journal PLOS Climate. I am the Post-Graduate Coordinator for Admissions in the Climate Change Research Centre.
