Kushner (Ph. D., Physics, University of Toronto, 1995; Prof. of
Physics, University of Toronto, 2012-present) is an atmospheric and
climate dynamicist who works on the atmosphere's general circulation,
the dynamical response to climate change, and cold-climate processes.
He leads a research group that studies these processes in climate
models and collaborates with observational groups to better understand
their realism and physics. He was the Principal Investigator the
Canadian Sea Ice and Snow Evolution Network (CanSISE, 2013-2019), an
ECCC/University research partnership studying snow, sea ice and related
climate processes in the Arctic and the Western Cordillera region of
Canada. He is a founding member and chair of the CMOS Special Interest
Group on Atmosphere-Related Research in Canadian Universities (ARRCU),
and serves as co-chair of the Northern Climate Data Working Group of
the Canadian Centre for Climate Services. He first joined CMOS in 1995
and served as CMOS president 2018-2019. He has also served as co-chair
