Past Projects

I led 3 project funded by Argentine and international institutions. I have participated in many projects funded by local and international institutions.

Cooperation Agreements

I signed an agreement with the Argentine Meteorological Service to implement the seasonal forecast system developed during my PhD and Postdoc.

Experience as Reviewer

• Member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of the Southern Hemisphere Earth System Sciences. July 2021 - present.

• Guest Editor Special Issue on “Subseasonal to Decadal Predictions in support of Climate Services”. Climate Services Journal. March 2021 - January 2023.

• Revision of articles submitted to Journal of Climate, Tellus, Meteorological Applications, Climate Dynamics, Advanced in Science and Research, International Journal of Climatology, Revista Brasileira de Meteorologia, Meteorológica, Quaterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Journal of Hydrometeorology, Meteorological Applications.

Other Activities

• Joint Monthly Climate Briefings: In collaboration with the Argentina National Weather Service (SMN) the Department of Atmospheric and Ocean Science (DCAO) and CIMA I co-organize the joint CIMA-DCAO-SMN monthly climate briefing to present and discuss with the academic and operational weather and climate community the past climate conditions responsible for the climate anomalies observed in Argentina and South America. I participate and co-organize this activity since August 2011.

• Member of the Executive Committee of YESS (Young Earth System Scientist) community. YESS, the Young Earth System Scientists community, is an interdisciplinary early career scientists network. YESS community unifies international and multidisciplinary early career scientists in a powerful network, providing a voice and leverage for a better future to serve society. As an Executive Committee member I’m responsible for maintaining and guiding YESS activities and working groups.

• I have co-organized 2 international workshops for ECRs in the past 3 years.

• I made short visits to the NOAA Climate Prediction Center, Australian Bureau of Meteorology, MeteoFrance and CPTEC to learn about the forecast tools and practices in those institutions.
