Biography

Claire's primary interests are coupled dynamical seasonal marine modelling applications. Her current research involves dynamical seasonal forecasting for coral reef and fisheries management, including Great Barrier Reef coral bleaching risk, Australian tuna and billfish fisheries, and Tasmanian and NZ salmon aquaculture. Claire is currently leading a project to migrate, upgrade and expand the operational seasonal coral bleaching risk forecasts from POAMA to the new ACCESS-S1 system. Additional projects include developing forecast products for NZ fisheries (collaboration with NIWA) and investigating oceanographic drivers, and their prediction, of the East Australian tuna and billfish longline fishery.
