Biography
Dr Jaci Brown is the Research Director for the Climate Intelligence Program and the lead of CSIRO’s Climate Science Centre. 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. Jaci represented CSIRO at COP27 last year and will attend again this year.
Prior to Jaci’s current role, Jaci led the Weather and Climate Decisions Team in CSIROs Agriculture and Food Business Unit. Her research has spanned tropical oceanography, climate projections, fisheries, high resolution ocean defence tools, and seasonal atmospheric processes in Australia. Jaci is also a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
