Solmaz Mohadjer is a geoscientist and a science educator. Her research involves investigating how mountain hazards are linked to mountain building processes, continental deformation and erosion. She integrates different techniques including remote sensing, geographic information systems, and high precision LiDAR mapping of topography to quantify hazards. She has a longstanding interest in improving geohazards science delivery for disaster risk reduction. In 2011, she founded ParsQuake Project to support the development of educational materials and briefs for informing the public and maximizing the use of scientific evidence in policymaking. She currently serves as an Executive Editor for Geoscience Communication and Associate Editor for Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences. She is also a member of the EGU's Outreach Committee and Program Committee Officer for Mentoring and Outreach.

My research interests lie in attempting to answer multidisciplinary questions associated with Earth surface processes and events including but not limited to present day and future climate change, microplastic and nutrient pollution as well as deep time planetary overhauls. I do this by using a combination of both biogeochemical and statistical modelling and lab-based methods to better understand large scale process.

Louise Arnal holds a PhD in Environmental Science from Reading University (2019), which she co-authored in collaboration with the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), as well as an MSc in Hydrology completed at Vrije Universiteit (VU), Amsterdam, and a BSc in Earth Sciences from Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris. She worked as a scientist at ECMWF between 2014 and 2020. More recently, she worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher and then as a Research Associate with Global Water Futures and the Cooperative Institute for Research to Operations in Hydrology (CIROH) at the University of Saskatchewan, in Canmore. Her research focused on advancing the science and practice of ensemble hydrological forecasting, with an emphasis on seasonal time scales. As an artist and scientist, Louise aims to foster scientific engagement through the fusion of science and art. She is the principal curator of the science-art project Virtual Water Gallery. Louise is also co-editor of ConciliARTe, part of the science-poetry journal Consilience, and associate editor of Geoscience Communication. Louise is an active member of HEPEX's global hydrological ensemble forecasting community and is a co-chair of Early Career-HEPEX.

Professionally I could be defined as a scientist (paleontologist and evolutionist) who started communicating science for personal pleasure and ended up as a science communication and outreach professional. The three vertices of my activity and background are 1) science research in Paleontology and Evolution, specifically in dinosaurs, and also Morphometrics applied in Health; 2) Science Communication and Informa, namely directing a Science Centre, writing texts and other contents for different media, producing and presenting a radio show, exhibits, workshops; and 3) Formal and Informal Education, supervising both students and professionals in distinct science communication activities and contributing to organized reflection on science communication. My background as a researcher (PhD in Biology, Paleontology) allows me to comprehend the processes and methods of science production. This background is a plus for any science communication professional since it allows an “inside view” of Science and Technology. I have worked eight years in the Natural History Museum of Portugal (MNHN) as well as in fifteen other Natural History Museums in four continents, as a visiting researcher. In the last 12 years I have specialized my activity in Science communication in Science Centres and Museums activities and its social intervention, namely on its role as an informal education institution. My main duties as the Lagos Science Centre Executive Director include connecting researchers with our institution, writing and managing the annual budget, planning and supervising all Science Centre activities, coordinating the team and cumulatively being the head of communication with direct responsibility of the Centre’s communication strategy. I have strong connections at the Portuguese science communication community as well as at the international organizations of science centres and museums – Ecsite (Europe), ASTC (north America) and NAMES (North Africa and Middle East).

Ed is a climate scientist in the National Centre for Atmospheric Science at the University of Reading, and a Lead Author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 6th Assessment Report. His research examines how and why the climate has changed since the industrial revolution, and how it may change over the coming decades, particularly the interplay between natural climate variations and human-caused trends. He also leads Weather Rescue – a citizen science project involving thousands of volunteers – which is recovering millions of lost Victorian-era weather observations from hand-written archives and turning them into invaluable digital data. Ed also actively engages with a variety of audiences about climate change, especially using novel graphical visualisations.
