👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRosie Fisher is a Research Professor and land surface modeler based in Oslo with nine years of focused experience advancing Earth System Models and the terrestrial carbon cycle under climate stress. She co-chairs and is a core developer of the Community Land Model and FATES, open-source, process-rich platforms widely used to simulate vegetation demography, hydraulics, nutrient cycling, fire and disturbance within multiple global climate models. Her background spans ecosystem manipulation experiments—including work at the long-running Caxiuana rainfall exclusion site—and the novel use of ecophysiological observations to test model realism, bridging field ecology and large-scale modeling. A Clarivate Highly Cited Researcher since 2019, she is also committed to building sustainable research infrastructures and inclusive international communities that support open software development. Since 2014 she has navigated partial deafness and, more recently, partial sight loss, reflecting resilience and advocacy for visible and invisible disabilities in science.
