Paul Ullrich is a lead of climate resilience efforts at LLNL and a professor of regional and global climate modeling at the University of California, Davis. He currently co-leads the HyperFACETS project and is principal investigator for the Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison. His work focuses on development, analysis and evaluation of regional climate information. He works closely with stakeholders across the United States to understand their needs for climate data, and to understand how regional climate and extreme weather are being affected by climate change.
