Volunteer firefighter. Climate change scientist.
Initially a diagnostic microbiologist. Then a Masters in IT/AI I have provided software engineering in medical research, publishing, and finally settled in climate. Late age PhD which was stymied by COVID.

So having had fires to deal with, Roger Jones led, and I helped a bit with the following paper - now accepted.

Continuing a theme of climate impacts on fire. Here in SE Australia, we are in severe drought, while much of the North floods. Last Sunday night/Monday morning we had a rare and very strong Southern Ocean Vortex and with winter a week away, widely scattered wild fires starting near midnight .

The terrible irony of being unable to contribute to a paper on climate change because one is on the ground mapping, and fighting, fires which are unquestionably climate change enhanced.
On Dec 20 our team GIntel6 did a sweep of the Eastern side of fires started by lightning in the Grampians.

While I was having my week disrupted by fires my PhD supervisor and colleague Prof Roger Jones has but this out.

Evidence and Explanation for the 2023 Global Warming Anomaly
In 2023, the rapid increase in global temperature of around 0.25 °C caught the scientific community by surprise. Its cause has been investigated largely by exploring variations on a long-term trend, w...

A bit of an introduction. What's it like working in Climate Change and being a fire fighter in one of the real hot-spots?
Our South Eastern Australian fire season has kicked off early under a lash of a dry winter and spring. I fill several roles in the CFA, and this photo encapsulates two.
