I am a retired meteorologist from the Bureau of Meteorology where I worked as an operational meteorologist (forecaster) for over 33 years. I worked for the Bureau in Western Australia, Northern Territory and the ACT and at the time of retirement in June 2005 I was Officer in Charge of the Canberra Meteorological Office, a position I had held for the previous 9 years.

As a visiting fellow at the Fenner School, I am carrying out research in conjunction with Associate Professor Janette Lindesay into the climate trends of the local region as well as providing assistance to research students and staff on issues related to weather and climate. I will also be presenting occasional guest lectures and will be helping the Fenner School and the ANU with external programs such as Science Week
