Dr. Stuecker is involved in various national and international research community activities. He is currently in the core leadership group of the CLIVAR working group "TROpical PacIfiC SST Warming PatternS" (TROPICS) and member of three more CLIVAR groups, on the topic of "Tropical Basin Interaction", on "ENSO Conceptual Models", and on "Tropical Pacific Decadal Variability". He is also a member of the NOAA Marine Ecosystem Task Force and was a contributing author to the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of the IPCC. He contributed to several large coordinated climate model experiments, including the CESM2 Large Ensemble and the CESM1 Ultra-high-resolution simulations.
Dr. Stuecker received the International Association for the Physical Sciences of the Oceans (IAPSO) Early Career Scientist Medal in Physical Oceanography in 2023, the Kamide Lecture Award from the Atmospheric Sciences section of the Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) in 2020, and the Outstanding Young Scientist Award from the Climate: Past, Present & Future (CL) division of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) in 2016. In 2018, he was a Future Leaders Program Fellow of the Science and Technology in Society (STS) forum in Kyoto, Japan. Dr. Stuecker received an NSF CAREER Award in 2022.
