People

ARC Laureate Fellow,
Professor, Research
School of Earth Sciences,
Australian National University

Research in high-resolution investigation of ocean/climate changes at geological time scales to determine the nature, timing and magnitude of natural climate variability. Theoretical and applied modelling of present-day and past states of ocean circulation and property distribution.

ARC Laureate Fellow,
Professor, Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies,
University of Tasmania

Transdisciplinary research across ocean biogeochemistry, biological oceanography, phytoplankton processes, and open ocean ecosystems, including carbon sequestration. His experience also includes marine approaches to climate intervention, and the development of research governance.

Pro Vice Chancellor of Research, University of Technology Sydney

Transdisciplinary research into the global carbon cycle with a focus on the Southern Ocean, abrupt and extreme climate changes, reducing the uncertainties over future impacts, climate-carbon feedbacks. Founding director and now scientific advisor to CarbonScape, a cleantech company creating sustainably-engineered graphite for superior lithium-ion battery performance.

Director and Co-Founder,
Common Capital

Focused on policies and strategies to accelerate the commercialisation and scale of negative and zero emission technologies and markets. Henry has 19 years commercial and government experience in public policy, economics, business strategy across environment, energy, technology and financial services.

Professor, College of Science,
Australian National University

Research in new methods to regenerate agro-ecological landscapes for climate resilience and carbon drawdown.

Professor, Earth Sciences, College of Science,
Australian National University

Research on the sources and bio-availability of the key micro-nutrients and iron, and its influence on phytoplankton productivity, a key component of the marine system that moderates our climate through the ocean’s ability to drawdown carbon dioxide.

Professor, Faculty of Law,
University of Tasmania

Research that spanned the legal and policy dimensions of climate change adaptation, including urban planning and coastal management, liability and insurance issues.

Lecturer, Law School,
University of Adelaide.

Deputy Director,
Australian Forum for Climate Intervention Governance.

Research on international environmental law and law of the sea, specialising in the governance of solar radiation management and carbon dioxide removal technologies.

Professor & Director, Research School of Earth Science,
Australian National University

Research on the use of novel isotope and trace element approaches to problems in the Earth and environmental science, including exploring adaptation and mitigation options to counter the effects of rising CO₂ and related stressors in marine environments.

Associate Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Tasmania

Expert in global environmental law and governance, focused on strategies to respond to climate change at global and regional institutions and the international laws that affect them.

Lecturer, Crawford School of Public Policy, Australian National University

Research in interactions of groups of people in social and political conflict settings concerning climate and environmental issues. In particular, the role of social-political identity in shaping these interactions.

ARC Future Fellow,
Senior Lecturer, Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies,
University of TasmaniaResearch on the efficacy and environmental side-effects of marine CO₂ removal methods such as Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement, Ocean Afforestation, Ocean Iron Fertilisation, and Ocean Artificial Upwelling.

Associate Director,
Common Capital

Alana is focused on the pathways to accelerate the deployment of zero and negative emissions technologies and systems. She applies her public and private sector experience across financial services, strategy, risk and policy to drive transdisciplinary solutions to complex climate-related problems.

ARC Future Fellow,
Associate Professor, School of Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences,
University of New South Wales

Research on the processes leading to climate change, and on the impact of climate change on the carbon cycle, with a particular focus on oceanic processes.

Associate Professor, Centre for Coastal Biogeochemistry,
Southern Cross University

Research on potential impacts of ocean change on biogeochemical element cycling and feedbacks to Earth’s climate system, as well as on assessing potential benefits and risks of proposed climate change mitigation approaches in the ocean.

Professor, Economics Business School,
University of New South Wales,
and President-elect of the Academy of the Social Sciences, Australia

Research in contract theory, mechanism design, law & economics, and political economy applied to climate change incentives, mechanisms, and policies.

Professor, Research School of Earth Sciences,
Australian National University

Diverse research in high-resolution environmental magnetic studies of ocean/climate changes on geological timescales to understand natural climate variability, including the role of atmospheric dust in climate change and natural ocean iron fertilization.

Professor, Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies,
University of Tasmania

Research in the fields of Paleoceanography and Biogeochemistry, focusing on the interaction between chemical cycles and biological activity in the oceans, and how these are affected by climate.

ARC Future Fellow,
