PhD Candidate in Climate Science, Barcelona Supercomputing Centre, University of Leeds
I am a postgraduate researcher looking at how different climate states modulate El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and its impacts. My supervisors are Dr Amanda Maycock (University of Leeds), Dr Yohan Ruprich-Robert (Barcelona Supercomputing Center) and Prof Piers Forster (University of Leeds).
I obtained my undergraduate degree in Environmental Science at the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (Spain). My BSc dissertation was focused on understanding how large-scale climate variability such as the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) affects local climate and weather conditions in Madrid, with a special focus on the urban heat island effect and air pollution episodes. I did a year abroad at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, where I developed my interest for ENSO and its impacts on ecosystems and populations.
In 2018 I enrolled in an MRes in climate and atmospheric science at the University of Leeds. My masters’ thesis was entitled “European climate response to El Niño-Southern Oscillation”, which later on was adapted and published in Journal of Climate. In 2019 I co-founded “The Climate Press”, an outreach project aimed to bring climate science closer to everyone. We’ve produced a number of podcasts and blogs that you can find here: www.theclimatepress.com
During the early stages of my PhD, I worked as a demonstrator in the masters’ modules “Physical Science Basis of Climate Change” and “Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation”.
I am particularly interested in large-scale climate variability. More specifically, the first part of my PhD project consists on understanding how the Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (AMV) modulates ENSO and its impacts. My future research includes assessing ENSO and its teleconnections under climate change conditions. I enjoy learning about all things climate-related, especially climate change projections, climate extremes, teleconnections, seasonal forecasts and climate variability in the troposphere and stratosphere.

Reader in the Use and Design of Educational Space, Newcastle University
Pam has a background in school teaching, but she has been researching educational environments for nearly two decades. She works with school communities to understand their use of their spaces, enabling her to develop an overview of the potential for school premises to support change and improvement.
Her work, bridging architecture, education and visual mediation methods, is unusual and she has been invited to provide expert input into projects and discussions regionally, nationally and internationally levels. Outputs have included an influential review, The Impact of School Environments (2005), a book for school users (the Design of Learning Spaces, 2010) and an interdisciplinary edited collection, School Design Together (2015) about participatory design of school space.
Her recent collaboration with the Council of Europe Development bank (CEB), Constructing Education (2021), proposes a framework to guide collaborative activities through planning and building educational premises so that design and use are in alignment. From 2019 to 2022, she led an EU-funded initiative, CoReD (https://www.ncl.ac.uk/cored/), which developed a suite of user-friendly tools and other resourcces that can be used by school communities to evaluate and improve their educational environments.

With my work I hope to shed light on the strengths and weaknesses of our democratic system as it currently functions and point to the ways positive change can be brought about. This is especially vital in a time when the challenges we all face are too important for us to fall back on corrosive and disempowering cynicism.
