PROFILE
Biljanaorescanin
Biljana Orescanin developed and enhanced grid generation, topography workflows, and configuration management for the GEOS-ESM/GEOSgcm_GridComp repository over five months. She implemented robust cubed-sphere grid generation and improved multi-resolution handling, focusing on numerical accuracy and stability for both regular and stretched grids. Using Fortran and Python, Biljana refactored data processing pipelines, introduced cosine-lat-weighted elevation calculations, and streamlined restart and boundary condition workflows. Her work included CMake-based build system improvements, documentation updates, and cross-language integration, resulting in more reliable preprocessing, clearer user guidance, and easier maintenance. These contributions addressed scientific computing challenges and improved model fidelity and usability.

May 1, 2025May 2025: Delivered robust grid generation for stretched grids with multi-resolution support, along with improved error handling and output naming. Implemented a temporary deprecation of ultra-high-resolution generation (c5760) by adjusting SBATCH time limits and renaming related variables, updating resolution options accordingly. Enhanced code quality through targeted cleanup and fixes to increase flexibility in resolution handling, resulting in more reliable grid workflows and safer production deployments.
