Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNathan Lenssen is a climate and data science researcher and educator who blends statistical rigor with dynamical modeling to study climate variability, predictability, and change while explicitly accounting for observational uncertainty and model bias. With eight years of experience spanning NCAR, Columbia University, NASA, and Colorado School of Mines, he builds scalable computational methods to apply complex models to extremely large datasets. As a Teaching Assistant Professor and former Climate Dynamics postdoc, he designs project-based curricula that teach statistics as a tool for asking better scientific questions, reaching audiences from middle school to PhD scientists. His work includes leadership of the NCAR Climate Data Guide and applied roles that bridge research, software, and reproducible data practices. Based in Boulder, he combines a PhD in Earth and Environmental Sciences and an MA in Statistics to operate at the intersection of theory, computation, and pedagogy.
