Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolColin Raymond is a research scientist based in Pasadena with 11 years of experience studying climate extremes—especially regional drivers of extreme heat, compound and multi-hazard events, and the coupled roles of humidity and precipitation. Currently at UCLA and leading the Compound Events Working Group at Risk KAN, he combines observational analysis and model simulations to translate complex climate dynamics into actionable insights for risk management and water resources. His postdoc at JPL sharpened applications-focused skills in hydrological extremes and heat stress, while his PhD work at Columbia emphasized how coastlines, urbanization, and terrain modulate extreme heat. Known for bridging fundamental climate science with practical decision-making, he brings both rigorous academic training and cross-institutional leadership to address multi-hazard climate risks.
