Soledad Collazo. she is a third-year Ph. D. student in meteorological Science at University of Buenos Aires. her doctoral thesis topic is about the seasonal forecast of extreme temperature events in Argentina northern of 40°S. her goal is to identify predictors of extreme temperature indices at seasonal scale, such as cold nights and warm days, to then apply several statistical models which will be evaluated to find those that show some ability to predict these extreme indices. she published two papers:
