Biography
Charles Curry is the Lead of the Regional Climate Impacts theme at PCIC. With a background in Earth system and regional climate modelling and climate data analysis, his work focuses on observed and modelled climate extremes, the effects of climate change on the hydrological cycle in Western North America, and the added value of dynamical and statistical downscaling. Recent and ongoing collaborative projects include new approaches to downscaling and bias correction of climate model output and customized climate data for infrastructure design. He has provided advice to industry and various stakeholders on these and other issues and acted as expert reviewer for professional journals and international and national climate assessments. He also enjoys advising students on projects of mutual interest and assisting in the development of online data platforms.
