Senior🎓
Top SchoolZhe Zhang is a climate scientist and modeler with nine years of research experience focused on high-resolution and convection-permitting regional climate modeling to assess climate change impacts on hydrology, ecology, and agriculture. Currently based in Boulder, he holds postdoctoral and project scientist roles at NCAR and completed a PhD in Environment and Sustainability at the University of Saskatchewan after undergraduate studies at Lanzhou University and the University of Reading. His work bridges academic research and applied conservation, including a Mitacs internship with Ducks Unlimited Canada examining prairie wetlands and waterfowl under changing climates. Zhe maintains an active public-facing practice—publishing accessible summaries of IPCC reports and research on his blog—and brings a rare combination of technical model development and stakeholder-driven applied science.
