I am Professor of Physical Oceanography at the University of Tasmania, and CSIRO Marine Research Laboratories, Director of the Tasmanian Partnership for Advanced Computing (TPAC) and Project Leader of the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre's (ACE CRC) Modelling Program. I am a physical oceanographer, specializing in ocean climate and the earth's climate system.
Research Interests
I have been the coordinating lead author for the ocean chapter in the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report. Me and my colleagues documented some of the first evidence for changes in the climate change signals in the Indian, North Pacific, South Pacific and Southern Ocean's and shown some of the first evidence of changes in the Earth's hydrological cycle. I have published more than 52 scientific papers (see publications) and 30 reports. I have established the programs and experiments that determined the total production of Adelie Land Bottom Water formation and its contribution Antarctic Bottom Water Formation, contributed to the development of some of the largest and highest resolution model simulations of the oceans and have been deeply involved in oceanographic data and data management as the chairman of the Data Products Committee for the World Ocean Circulation Experiment and the International Polar Year. In my spare time I have lead 9 Oceanographic voyages on the Aurora Australis in the Southern Ocean.
