Biography:
Veronika Eyring is Head of the
Earth System Model Evaluation and Analysis Department
at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) Institute of Atmospheric
Physics and Professor of
Climate Modelling at the University of
Bremen. She maintains a strong collaboration with the
National Center for
Atmospheric Research (NCAR, USA) as Affiliate Scientist, with the DLR
Climate
Informatics Group
in Jena that she founded in 2017, and with
the team of the European Research Council (ERC) Synergy Grant on "Understanding
and Modelling the Earth System with Machine Learning (USMILE)".
Veronika's
research
focuses on Earth system modeling and process-oriented model evaluation
and analysis, including artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, to
improve climate projections and technology assessments. She has
authored many peer-reviewed journal articles and has contributed to the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) climate assessments
since many years, including her role as Coordinating Lead Author for
Chapter 3 “Human influence on the climate system” in the IPCC Sixth
Assessment Report of Working Group I published in 2021. Veronika is
involved in the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) since many
years, for example through her roles as Chair of
the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) Panel
(2014-2020) and member of scientific steering committees including the Working Group
on Coupled Modeling (WGCM) from 2008-2018. She was PI of the
Earth System Model Evaluation Tool
(ESMValTool) until 2020 and is a member of the
European Lab for Learning & Intelligent
Systems (ELLIS)
since 2019. Veronika received the
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize in 2021 for her
significant contributions to
improving the understanding and accuracy of climate projections
through process-oriented modeling and model evaluation.
