Alex is a climate scientist at the Climate Change Research Centre at UNSW Sydney. Most of his work is aimed at understanding how the ocean affects the climate system and how climate change will affect the ocean and the critters living in the ocean. As the planet and the oceans are warming, we are seeing more extreme marine heatwaves, changes in ocean currents, poleward shifts in the location of marine species towards the cooler areas and devastating mass coral bleaching events. Climate models are the best tools we have to predict how these and other factors will change in the future, and provide clues around how we can mitigate or adapt to these changes.
Angela is a lecturer in the Climate Change Research Centre, UNSW Sydney.
