-Short bio: Núria Pérez-Zanón is a postdoctoral researcher with a background in Physics and Meteorology (degrees from the University of Barcelona; UB). She obtained her PhD from Rovira i Virgili University (URV) in 2017 on Climate variability and Change detection in the central Pyrenees using instrumental and paleoclimate proxy data. This expertise includes quality control and homogenization methodologies for observed in-situ data, as well as, the methodologies to explore the relationship between natural proxies (tree-ring data and lake sediments) and observed climate, such as time series analysis and spectral analysis (e.g.: clustering, Principal Component Analysis and Wavelet analysis). During the thesis, one year and a half of research stay in LOCEAN (Laboratoire d’Océanographie et du Climat) allowed to work in the reconstruction of past modes of variability. She is the author of 8 peer-reviewed articles in international journals. She was recognized with the Eduard Fontserè 2015 international award for the study of mortality due to heatwaves in the Barcelona metropolitan area. After more than 3 years in the BSC Computational Earth Science group developing tools for climate forecast post-processing, she is currently in the Climate Services group working in climate services for the agricultural sector.

+**Bio**: Kat holds a Bachelor of Civil Engineering (Hons) from the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. After a period working as a Civil Engineer she started her PhD at the University of Cambridge, UK. Her research was focused on stratified fluids, in particular internal gravity waves and their associated instability mechanisms. This work generated a broader interest in geophysical flows. In 2022 Kat moved the BSC as a postdoc where she works on the Destination Earth project. She started working on the implementation of statistical data streaming algorithms to help manage the vast quantities of data being generated from the climate models. She is now focused on climate science communication and quantifying the impacts of high-resolution climate modelling. \\
