Dr. Sopia Lestari is a researcher at the Center of Climate and Atmosphere, National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN). Her research interests include rainfall extremes and variability over the Maritime Continent. She completed her Ph.D. at the School of Geography, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, the University of Melbourne. Dr. Heru Santoso obtained his Ph.D. degree in 2003 from the International Global Change Institute, the University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand. He started his career as a research assistant in 1991 at the Indonesian Institute of Sciences and has been involved in many research activities since then, including as a regional manager for the tropical forests and climate change adaptation project at the Center for International Forestry Research from 2006 to 2009. Currently, he is a senior researcher at the Center for Climate and Atmospheric Research, National Research and Innovation Agency, with research interests in climate change adaptation; local/regional environmental management; water resources management; and sustainable development. Dr. Marfasran Hendrizan is a junior researcher in the field of paleoclimatology and paleoceanography at the Research Center for Climate and Atmosphere, National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN). His research interest is focused on paleoclimate and paleoceanography in the Indonesian Seas using marine sediment archives. He obtained a doctoral degree from the Earth Sciences Study Program, Faculty of Earth Sciences and Technology, Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia, in 2023. His works have been published in peer-reviewed journals, including Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, International Journal of Earth Sciences, Scientific Reports, Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, etc. Dr. Trismidianto is a researcher at the atmospheric dynamics and hydrometeorological disaster research group, the Research Center for Climateand Atmosphere in the National Research and Innovation Agency Republic of Indonesia (BRIN). He obtained his doctoral degree from the Faculty of Sciences in major Earth and Environmental Science, Hirosaki University, Japan which was funded by a RISET-Pro Kemenristek-dikti scholarship program. His research focused on multi-scale interactions of atmospheric phenomena (diurnal, synoptic, intraseasonal, seasonal, and interannual) such as Monsoons, El-Nino and Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), Tropical Cyclones, and Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), mesoscale phenomena and local factors affect extreme rainfall causing hydrometeorology disasters in several regions in Indonesia. Dr. Ginaldi Ari Nugroho is a researcher at the Research Center for Climate and Atmosphere, National Research and Innovation Agency. He completed his doctoral degree from Kyoto University, Japan, in 2022. His interest of research is mainly on the atmospheric observation technology, radar meteorology, and signal processing.
