Clara Deser is an American climate science researcher at the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
Early and personal life
Clara Deser was born to a theoretical physicist and as a kid loved mathematics and map making. In her spare time she likes to hike, cook, and play the piano.
Research
In 2016 Clara Deser had partnered with Benjamin Sanderson and used two existing sets of model simulations to investigate what future summers might look like. By using those models they predicted that the summers from 2061 to 2080 will be the hottest on record if the carbon emissions will continue to rise.
In 2018 she praised James Hansen’s prediction on global temperature forecast calling it “incredible” and “astounding”. She also believes that not all weather variability is man-made global warming. Instead, when dealing with small regions over small time-scales, she believes that much of the observed warming can be due to local variability.
