The Team
Associate Professor Peter Ralph   Executive Director
Key Research Strengths: Impact of climate change on coral bleaching, seagrass and polar ecosystems.

Professor Derek Eamus
Key Research Strengths: Climate change and tree physiology, measuring and modelling water fluxes, groundwater dependent ecosystems and hydraulic architecture of trees.

Associate Professor Kendal McGuffie
Key Research Strengths: Large scale climate modelling and analysis, specifically modelling the effects of large-scale land surface change and modelling of tropical cyclone potential intensity.

Dr Brad Murray Senior Lecturer
Key Research Strengths: Synergies among invasive species, climate change and biodiversity loss.

Dr Isa Yunusa Senior Research Fellow
Key Research Strenghths:Impact of climate change on soil ecophysiology and water management.

Dr Cate Macinnis-Ng Research Fellow
Key Research Strengths: Measurement and modelling of productivity and water fluxes, of terrestrial plants, to determine ecophysiological impacts of climate change.

Dr Mel Zeppel Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Key Research Strengths:Measurement and modelling of climate change impacts on carbon and water fluxes, ecophysiology, water balance estimates, sap flow and water relationships in trees.

Dr Ross Hill Postdoctoral Research Fellow
KeyResearch Strengths: Impact of climate change on photosynthesis in marine calcifiers, Antarctic sea-ice algae, Southern Ocean phytoplankton and desalination.

Dr Dariusz Ficek Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Key Research Strengths: Optical oceanography, ocean colour remote sensing, bio-optics of phytoplankton, chlorophyll distribution and primary production, primary production modelling.
