EMERALDs leader group is a balanced team in terms of gender and seniority, between geosciences vs biosciences, university vs institute sector, research experience (modelling vs observations), and geographic location.
The leader group meets twice per semester, mainly using video conferences, to reduce meeting costs, time and carbon footprint. The group consist of the following members:
- Lena M. Tallaksen, Professor, Dept. of Geosciences, University of Oslo
- Terje K. Berntsen, Professor, Dept. of geosciences, University of Oslo
- Jarle W. Bjerke, Senior Researcher, Norwegian Institute for Nature Research - NINA
