Biography
Michael’s research has been focused principally on the science of weather-producing systems (such as fronts, extra-tropical cyclones, hurricanes, and gravity waves). This work is a blend of theory, computer modelling and observations, and he’s been a chief investigator in 12 major field experiments in Australia and overseas).
He also works in the field of bushfire science, and contributed to the development of a coupled atmosphere-bushfire model capable of simulating bushfires in realistic atmospheric conditions and in complex topography.
