 Profile
: Gary Griffith
Post-doctoral fellow, Department of Mathematics and
Physics, University of Queensland. Visiting scientist, CSIRO
Marine and Atmospheric Research.
Science/Professional Areas
- Marine ecosystem modelling
- Polar biological oceanography
- Coupling of biological and physical marine systems
- Photoprotective systems of marine algae
Projects
- Investigating the impact of climate change on the
resilience of the marine ecosystem of South-east Australia

and physical marine ecosystem models
- Investigating the impact of climate change on the
ice algae of the Arctic and Antarctic
- The relationship between changes in the surface mixed
layer of the Southern Ocean and phytoplankton dynamics.
Biography
I am currently using and developing the Atlantis model developed
by Dr Beth Fulton to investigate the impact of climate change
on the marine ecosystem of South-east Australia. I am also
currently continuing collaboration with scientists at the
Norwegian Polar Institute and the College of Oceanic and
Atmospheric Science at Oregon State University investigating
the impact of climate change on the Arctic marine ecosystem.
My primary research interest is developing new and innovative
ways to couple the biology and physics of marine systems.
Over the last few years, I have been working on oceanographic
projects in the Southern Ocean, Arctic and Antarctica.
Education
PhD : Marine Science, University of Otago, Dunedin New Zealand.
(2008)
BSc(Hons): Monash University, Melbourne, Australia (1983)
