I am a scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) specializing in polar system modeling. Prior to working at LANL, I was a member of the research faculty at Naval Postgraduate School in the USA and prior to that completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Alaska Fairbanks on Arctic system modeling. I graduated with a B.Sc.(Hons) from the University of Melbourne in Australia and Ph.D. within the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystem CRC in Hobart, Australia at the University of Tasmania.
