Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStephen Yeager is a senior Earth scientist with over 25 years at NCAR specializing in ocean and coupled Earth system modeling, decadal climate variability, and seasonal-to-decadal prediction. He co-chairs major community efforts including the CESM Earth System Prediction Working Group and WCRP’s Decadal Climate Prediction Project, and has steered national and international panels on ocean model development and AMOC science. A long-time editor for Journal of Climate and leader in NCAR’s Earth System Prediction project, he blends deep theoretical expertise with hands-on model development and operational prediction. His academic background spans physics (Dartmouth, Brown) to a PhD in Atmospheric and Oceanic Science from CU Boulder, reflecting a strong quantitative foundation. Based in Boulder, he pairs program-level leadership with active scientific publishing and collaboration across CLIVAR and WCRP networks. Less obvious: his career began with hands-on teaching in the Peace Corps, an early experience that shaped his commitment to mentoring and international scientific partnership.
