I’m a seasoned meteorologist and marine glaciologist with over 30 years of expertise in remote sensing and polar research. I have led and participated in numerous field campaigns across Antarctica and the Arctic, collecting meteorological and sea-ice geophysical data. My research includes Arctic sea-ice modelling and studies of Antarctica’s subglacial Lake Vostok. A former wintering scientist at Germany’s Neumayer Station, I have spent 450+ days at sea aboard icebreakers. I currently lead the Ice Service at the Bureau of Meteorology, supporting maritime safety and climate monitoring.

About the BEAKER STREET ROVING SCIENTIST PROGRAM
Each August, hundreds of Roving Scientists descend upon Hobart, filling up pubs and chatting to strangers as part of Beaker Street Festival. Discover a new world down the lens of microscope, and joining the least-boring bar conversations you’ve ever heard and these free (the chats – not the drinks) events.
For Scientists, Beaker Street’s Roving Scientist Program offers an excellent outreach, professional development, and networking opportunity. It’s the nerdiest and funnest way to share your research with the public, expand your network, and be inspired by leaders in all sectors of science and science communication.
