Completing his studies from the University of Melbourne and later from Monash University and University of Oklahoma, he dedicated his lifetime to the study of climate science. An expert in the field, he conducted his research on climate variability and climate change, including greenhouse climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion and inter-annual climate variations due to El-Nino Southern Oscillations. It is for his excellent take on the subject that he is regarded as the global expert in calculating the dynamics of atmospheric circulation and its variability in Southern Hemisphere. He contributed immensely in the preparation of the Fourth Assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change which was released in 2007. Over the years, he has written 7 books, 15 chapters and 96 journal articles on atmospheric studies. Presently, he has dedicated himself to studying the impact of climate change on weather extremes, human and natural systems.
