Tegan Clark researches Australian dust storms using satellites. Her research seeks to improve how Australian dust storms are detected so that we can map dust source areas and transport pathways. Tegan also considers how Australia can better reduce the risk of dust storms using disaster risk and resilience policies, frameworks and practices. Besides the nitty, gritty science, she also actively conducts research in gender equity in STEM and science communication and likes talking just as much about this as her dust storm research!

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.
