Professor Neville Nicholls

  • I undertake research  to improve the scientific basis for improved climate predictions on seasonal and climate-change timescales. I also have a continuing involvement in epidemiological studies linking climate and health. I have been involved in the research underlying the Victorian heatwave alert system, and in ways to improve the  prediction of variations in bushfire activity from year-to-year. I have also specialised in the monitoring and forecasting of changes in extreme weather and climate events including droughts.

    I teach:

    • MON1001 – Climate change: An interdisciplinary challenge (with Professor Christian Jakob, School of Mathematical Sciences)
    • ATS3902/APG4902 – Geopolitics of climate change
