Summary
Alice Duvivier is a polar-focused Earth system scientist with nine years of experience advancing coupled numerical modeling of atmosphere-ocean-sea ice exchanges, now serving as Scientist V at NCAR/NSF. She combines deep domain expertise in high-latitude processes with hands-on HPC skills—Python, JupyterHub, cshell, NCL, NCO—running and analyzing large-scale model experiments on supercomputers. Her work spans model development, observational analysis, and ecosystem implications, with a track record improving vertical mixing representations in Southern Ocean models and acting as a liaison for the CICE sea-ice model. Based in the Denver metro area, she communicates science broadly through outreach and publications and maintains an active online portfolio at duvivier.github.io. An oft-overlooked strength is her experience bridging operational HPC environments (including military systems) and collaborative academic consortia to deliver reproducible, production-scale climate science.
