Research

El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the most dominant climate variability in the tropical Pacific Ocean, affecting Earth's climate, ecosystems, and society. Typically, ENSO develops in fall, peaks in winter, and decays quickly in spring. However, it has been observed that some ENSO events decay slower, persisting until the summer months. The El Niño in 2018/2019 is such an example. It was linked to severe extreme events such as the Australian bushfire in 2020 and the longest heatwave in the North Pacific Ocean in 2019.

During my PhD I will focus on prolonged ENSO events and investigate the Earth’s climate, ecosystems and society using dynamic global vegetation models and Earth system models. The aim is to assess the impacts linked to these summer-persisting ENSO events, gaining a better understanding of ENSO variations.
