Professor Cristiana Stan is Professor and Associate Chair in the Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Earth Sciences at George Mason University, Fairfax, USA, where she leads research on climate modeling and the large-scale dynamics and predictability of tropical and midlatitude variability—including monsoon circulations, the Madden–Julian Oscillation, ENSO teleconnections, and subseasonal-to-seasonal variability—using super-parameterized coupled models to improve representation of cloud-scale processes. She holds a BSc in Physics and an MSc in Atmospheric Physics from the University of Bucharest and a PhD in Atmospheric Science from Colorado State University. Since September 2023, she has served on the Steering Group of the WMO World Weather Research Programme’s Sub-seasonal Applications for Agriculture and Environment (SAGE) project, representing Regional Association IV and co-designing sub-seasonal forecast products for agriculture, water management, and disaster risk reduction . Professor Stan is Vice-Chair of the WCRP Joint Scientific Committee, Co-Lead of NOAA’s Unified Forecast System Medium-Range and S2S Application Team, and contributes actively to WCRP working groups on monsoon and teleconnections.
