Interests and Research:
My primary interests are coupled physical-ecological marine modelling applications. Currently I am developing new products using the coupled seasonal forecast model POAMA to predict coral bleaching in the Great Barrier Reef. Several of these products can now be viewed in Google EarthTM. Operational forecasts of sea surface anomalies for the GBR are now available from Ocean Services.
I am also working on the possible applications of POAMA in the management of both multi-species longline fisheries along the east Australian coast, salmon aquaculture in Tasmania and the Little Penguin colonies on Phillip Island. Other work includes contributing to the development of quality control systems for marine observations for the Australian region and relevant adjacent ocean areas.Operational POAMA GBR Forecasts
