We’re delighted to welcome two new members to the CORDEX International Project Office (IPO) team.

Please join us in welcoming Dr Natalie Corgannon, who joins as Programme Manager, and Julia Arantes, who joins as Administrator and Secretary.

The CORDEX IPO is operated by HE Space Operations Ltd on behalf of the European Space Agency (ESA) and supports the coordination and delivery of activities across the global CORDEX community and the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP).

As Programme Manager, Natalie will play a key role in supporting the coordination and implementation of CORDEX activities, helping to strengthen engagement across our international network and contribute to the delivery of the programme’s objectives.

As Administrator and Secretary, Julia will provide essential operational, administrative, and governance support to the IPO, helping to ensure the smooth running of the office and effective coordination across CORDEX structures and activities.

The establishment of the IPO marks an exciting new chapter for CORDEX and its contribution to WCRP, and we’re thrilled to have Natalie and Julia on board as we work to support and strengthen our international community.

Natalie and Julia join CORDEX Director Dr Rachel McInnes in the growing IPO team, based at ESA ECSAT in the UK.

Welcome to the team, Natalie and Julia.
