What can Antarctic ice tell us about Australian weather?
Antarctic ice can reveal the extent of rainfall varability which leads to drought or floods in Australia.
Carly Tozer came to the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems CRC from the University of Newcastle, where she completed her PhD in hydroclimatology. Her research has focused on the identification of global and local-scale atmospheric and oceanic processes, including those stemming from the Southern Ocean, that drive hydroclimatic variability in Australia.
Carly will be working with the Antarctic Variability of the Past 2000 Years project team on the reconstruction of Australian drought records from Antarctic ice cores.
