Position: Hub Leader
Email: Jaclyn.Brown@csiro.au
Dr Jaci Brown is currently the Acting Hub Lead for the NESP Climate Systems Hub. Jaci has taken time away from her substantive role as the Research Director for CSIRO Climate Intelligence Program to focus her energies on helping the hub realise its maximum potential in its final years.
The Climate Intelligence Program translates vast and complex climate information into decision-ready formats and applications. Their strengths include the extreme weather of floods, droughts and heat waves. They have a strong capability in coastal sea level modelling and projections. Stakeholders range across emergency management, private industry, finance and insurance, government policy, agriculture, indigenous communities, and Australia’s defence force. Prior to that role, Jaci led CSIRO’s Climate Science Centre which also incorporated the atmospheric, oceanic and climate observations and modelling. Jaci represented CSIRO at COP27 and 28 over the last 2 years. Jaci’s research has spanned agricultural climate, tropical oceanography, climate projections, fisheries, and seasonal atmospheric processes. Jaci is also a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
