Jitendra Singh

Dr. Jitendra Singh is a Researcher affiliated with the Department of Environmental Systems Science at ETH Zurich, working within the Institute for Atmosphere and Climate (Institut für Atmosphäre und Klima). His research focuses on climate physics, particularly the interplay between large-scale climate phenomena and regional environmental impacts. Key areas of investigation include extreme weather events, climate modeling deficiencies, and the effects of anthropogenic aerosols on regional climates.

His work addresses critical gaps in understanding, such as why climate models underestimate Western Europe's amplified warming and explores how El Niño and Indian Ocean Dipole conditions impact agricultural productivity in India. Recent studies highlight discrepancies between observed heat extremes and model projections, underscoring the need for improved atmospheric circulation representation in climate simulations.

Dr. Singh’s research also delves into flood mechanisms across diverse regions (e.g., Poland and Canada), emphasizing the roles of precipitation, snowmelt, and soil moisture. His early career contributions include frameworks for assessing health risks from landfill leachate contamination, showcasing interdisciplinary expertise in environmental science.
