Biography
Dr Ian Harman is a research scientist in the ACCESS group of CSIRO's Climate Science Centre. His research focusses on the understanding and development of models of the near-surface atmosphere and land surface for use within a range of applications, with a focus on regions of complex terrain. Current research applications include wind energy, the airborne dispersal of invasive species, climate system model development and analysis, and economic-climate interactions (integrated assessment). His research uses a range of observations and techniques including wind tunnel modelling - using CSIRO's world class boundary-layer wind tunnel facility in Canberra - eddy covariance (FLUXNET) field observations and numerical techniques at a range of time and spatial scales.
