Brief Bio

Dr. Alex Ruane is a Research Physical Scientist at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, where he is co-Director of the GISS Climate Impacts Group, and an adjunct Associate Research Scientist at the Columbia University Center for Climate Systems Research in New York City. Alex serves as the Research Coordinator and Climate Team Leader for the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP; www.agmip.org), an international, transdisciplinary project connecting climate science, crop modeling, and economic modeling to place regional agricultural impacts of climate change into their global economic context to assess uncertainties, vulnerability, and world food security both today and in the future. 


Alex served as a Coordinating Lead Author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Sixth Assessment Report (IPCC AR6), Working Group 1 Chapter 12: 'Climate information for regional impact and for risk assessment'. As part of his contribution he facilitates interactions between the IPCC working groups on climate science (WG1) and climate impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability (WG2). He was also a member of the Core Writing Team for the IPCC Synthesis Report that combined findings across all Working Groups and Special Reports of the AR6 Cycle. Dr. Ruane is also the founder and Co-Chair of the Vulnerability, Impacts, Adaptation, and Climate Services (VIACS) Advisory Board for the Sixth Phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6), facilitating engagement between the climate modeling community and the VIACS communities that apply climate model outputs for societal benefit. Alex is a member of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP7) Panel, and serves on the Expert Committee for the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) Global Risk Assessment Framework (GRAF), where he co-chairs the 'Fostering Systems Thinking' Working Group.


Alex’s research uses a variety of climate and impacts assessment models to examine the influence of climate variability and change on a variety of sectors including agriculture, water resources, urban areas, infrastructure, energy, and human health, leading to the development of adaptation strategies and decision support tools for stakeholders and policy makers who need to understand vulnerabilities and uncertainties to successfully manage risk. Alex's work with AgMIP includes protocol design and climate-linked analyses across crops, livestock, economics, health, and food security on a continuum of time scales including the recent past, near-real-time present, and long-term projections including system changes. In all his work Alex develops new methods to tailor climate scenarios for unique applications around the world, and investigates observational methods, high-frequency variations, and extreme characteristics of hydroclimate. He is also leading several efforts to connect satellite and climate projection information into digital twins that support decision making for agricultural and urban settings.


Alex conducted his doctoral work studying the water cycle in the climate group at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography/UC San Diego, and received a B.S. in atmospheric science at Cornell University. His undergraduate thesis was built around a model of the Jovian atmosphere.

Current Projects

The Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP)

Climate

The Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP; see www.agmip.org) connects leading climate, crop, livestock, and economic modelers to better assess climate impacts on food security and global agricultural production.  My work helps build and assess transdisciplinary, multi-model frameworks that gauge climate impacts and allows for the testing of adaptations from the field to international policy levels.  AgMIP Climate activities include the analysis of various historical climate and weather products, evalutation of future model simulations, and creation of climate scenarios for a number of agricultural modeling applications.

The Agricultural Productivity Indicator and Analysis System (APIAS)

Applications

APIAS investigates climate impacts on US agriculture using crop models run across the Conterminous United States at 0.25x0.25 degree resolution.  Simulations are run over the 1980-2010 period with historical conditions (to mimic recent seasons) and smoothed historical data (to capture the effect of intraseasonal extremes), as well as the 2010-2040 period to anticipate future impacts.  Results help identify hotspots of recent and projected climate impacts on the agricultural sector in order to prioritize the development of adaptations.

Coordinating Lead Author and Core Writing Team member for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Sixth Assessment Report (IPCC AR6)

Climate

Alex is Coordinating Lead Author for the IPCC AR6 Working Group I Chapter 12: Climate information for regional impact and for risk assessment. This chapter examines the connection between climate data and information that is useful for gauging hazards, impacts, and risk across regions and sectoral assets. As Coordinating Lead Author Dr. Ruane (and a team of two other CLAs) guide a team of ~15 chapter authors in the Chapter 12 assessment. Chapter 12, which is a novel chapter in AR6 and the last in WGI, also serves as a handshake between WGI and WGII (Climate change impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability), so Dr. Ruane participates in planning and lead author meetings for both Working Groups. Alex is also a member of the Core Writing Team for the IPCC AR6 Synthesis Report.

AgMIP / NASA Harvest Connections for Remote Sensing and Crop Modeling Research and Applications

Seasonal Dynamics

AgMIP and the NASA Harvest Consortium for remote sensing agricultural applications are jointly exploring methods to improve the connected use of remote sensing and crop modeling. In partnership with the University of Maryland, AgMIP is developing a new crop model configuration designed to ingest remote sensing information in configuring, initiating, updating, and validating crop simulations. Current configurations focus on corn and soybean in Iowa at 30m resolution, with initial applications focusing on the use of soil moisture initialization and seasonal forecast applications.
