[Faculty] Fwd: [CSRC-SDSU COLLOQUIUM]: Seasonal climate modeling: generating higher-resolution climate information and the role of vegetation on water resources.

[Jose Castillo]

*DATE*:  Friday, September 30th, 2016

*TITLE*: Seasonal climate modeling:  generating higher-resolution climate
information and the role of vegetation on water resources.

*TIME*:  3:30 PM

*LOCATION*:  GMCS 314

*SPEAKER*:  Dr. Fernando De Sales. Assistant Professor of Geography, San
Diego State University.

*ABSTRACT*:  Seasonal climate simulations are inherently global due to the
nature of the Earth's climate system. However, the spatial resolutions of
global climate models (GCM) are often low because of computational
limitations.  I will show how higher-resolution seasonal climate
information can be generated using a dynamic downscaling method and how
this technique can improve GCM results. I will also discuss how climate
models can be used to assess the role of vegetation on the climate, and
explore the impacts of wildfires on water resources in Northern Africa.

*HOST*:  Dr. Jose Castillo
