Julie Davidson
El Nino-Southern Oscillation |
Dr Julie Davidson is a social scientist whose research interests focus on environmental governance in the context of global change, and specifically on the social and institutional dimensions of natural resource management. Other recent research includes a pilot study to advance thinking around governance for resilience in an environment of biophysical and policy uncertainty. Under a Department of Climate Change grant, she is currently developing coursework units for the development of professional skills in climate change adaptation planning among urban and environmental planners.

Dr. Ming Feng is a physical oceanographer with CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Division and the Wealth from Oceans Flagship. He completed his PhD degree from a joint program of Chinese Academy of Sciences and University of Hawaii in 1997 and held a postdoctoral fellowship at the International Pacific Research Center. He joined CSIRO in 1999 and his research has been covering climate variability and climate change, as well as their impacts on biogeochemical processes in regional seas and fisheries recruitments in Australia. He has been involved in a number of ocean expeditions and co-editor a special issue on “The Leeuwin Current and its eddies” in “Deep-Sea Research”. Dr Feng is now the Node leader of Western Australian Marine Science Institution (WAMSI) Node 2, whose aim is to understand and project the climate change impact on the regional marine environment. He also represents Australia on the World Climate Research Program Climate Variability and Predictability project Indian Ocean Panel to coordinate observing systems and climate research in the Indian Ocean.

Dr Alistair Hobday completed a BSc (Hons) in Biological Science at Stanford University, a PhD in Biological Oceanography at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and held a National Research Council Postgraduate Fellowship at the Pacific Fisheries Environmental Laboratory in Monterey, California. He is presently a Senior Research Scientist at CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research. His research spans a range of topics, including spatial management and migration of large pelagic species, environmental influences on marine species, and the impacts of climate change on marine resources. He leads the Marine Climate Impacts area within the CSIRO Climate Adaptation National Research Flagship, and has been co-editor of two recent reports on the impacts of climate change on (i) fisheries and aquaculture, and (ii) Australian marine life. In addition to his climate research, Alistair has co-led the development of risk assessment methods for assessing the ecological sustainability of Australia’s fisheries. He is a member of the steering committee for the international GLOBEC program CLIOTOP (Climate Impacts on Top Ocean Predators). Climate Adaptation Flagship, CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research.

Associate Professor Neil Holbrook uses his background in applied mathematics and physical oceanography, and his expertise in ocean and climate dynamics at seasonal-to-interannual, decadal-to-centennial time scales, to better diagnose the important mechanisms underpinning climate variability and climate change. To reduce the uncertainties associated with human-induced (anthropogenic) climate change, the potential risks associated with abrupt climate change, and the likely changes in climatic extreme events, requires a strong understanding of natural climate variability on all time scales. Neil examines historical observations and develops deterministic and statistical models to better predict El Niño - Southern Oscillation, Pacific Decadal Variability and tropical cyclone formation, in order to reduce climate change risks. He has published extensively in the international literature on the ocean’s role in climate, climate variability, climate extremes and climate change. Neil is convenor of the National Climate Change Adaptation Research Network for Marine Biodiversity and Resources, Executive Secretary of the International Commission on Climate, and Fellow of the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society.

Dr Janice Lough is a Senior Principal Research Scientist at the Australian Institute of Marine Science. A climatologist by training, she currently specialises in identifying the nature and consequences of a rapidly changing global climate for coral reef ecosystems and determining climate history of the past several centuries from the annual records contained in massive coral skeletons
Dr Shayne McGregor completed his Masters and PhD degrees with the Department of Environment and Geography at Macquarie University. His dissertation focused on investigating the mechanisms that contribute to the interdecadal variability of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation. He is currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the International Pacific Research Center at the University of Hawaii where his research continues to focus on the El Niño-Southern Oscillation.
