Tong Li has joined the PCIC as a Post-doctoral researcher in 2023. Her main fields of interests are global and regional climate extremes, climate change projections, observational constraints, and detection and attribution. During her doctoral period, she focused on applying multiple observational constraints to deal with the multi-model projection problem. She also applied a more rigorous way to evaluate the validity of model ensembles used in future projections. In her post-doctoral research, Tong Li seeks to integrate emergent constraints with detection and attribution methodologies, aiming to deliver more accurate projection and attribution results.
