Michael Schulz is Deputy head of Climate Modelling and Air Pollution section, Research Department, at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, Oslo, and Adjunct Professor II at MetOs UiO Geosciences. He has a broad interest and experience in atmospheric science and interdisciplinary global climate evolution questions, focusing on the role of climate forcing, feedbacks, aerosol physics and chemistry imbedded in an Earth System. He promotes model development and evaluation through (co-)leading innovative intercomparisons: CMIP6-AerChemMIP, AeroCom aerosol model intercomparison, contributing to EU Copernicus CAMS projects. He is particularly motivated to advance integrated Earth System understanding of near-term climate change and provide well informed early warnings. He is responsible for the climate modelling section at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, overseeing there the development of the NorESM earth system model. He will support the interfacing of the constraints obtained from satellite observation with the NorESM model within the SATACI project and provide scientific support.
