My background is in Atmospheric Science and Satellite Oceanography. Most of my undergraduate teaching focuses on meteorology and climatology.
My research interests lie in interannual to decadal scale processes which
drive the ocean, in particular, in the mid-latitudes of the South Pacific. Consequently, my work touches on El Nino-South Oscillation,
variability in the South Pacific subtropical gyre and planetary wave
propagation. These phenomena have important consequences for regional
through to global climate variability at decadal timescales.
I examine
satellite data, in situ meaurements and model results to understand these
processes.
I am currently Vice-Chair of the Sydney Chapter of the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (AMOS).
