Research Overview

I am a paleoclimatologist who has made substantial advances in understanding civilisation’s most serious threats: global climate change, El Niño-Southern Oscillation, and human-climate-environment impacts. I study the climate of the past to better understand present‐day climate This research improves our ability to forecast climate change and addresses key questions on the origins of natural climate variations. Current projects include:
- Past climate and environmental impacts on Great Barrier Reef paleoecology (ARC Discovery Project DP200100206)
- El Niño in a changing climate: novel long-term perspectives from Pacific corals and model simulations (ARC Future Fellowship FT40100286)
- Past Global changes (PAGES) 2k Network: "a long-running initiative studying past global changes of the last 2000 years" (http://pastglobalchanges.org/science/wg/2k-network/intro)
I also have an active interest in climate science communication, including art-science collaborative projects:
- Global Challenges - Next generation sustainable crafting
- Global Challenges - Energy Efficient Art (https://www.uow.edu.au/global-challenges/making-future-industries/energy-efficient-art/)
