Biography
Dr Simon Marsland obtained a BSc (Honours 1A) in Mathematics at Deakin University, Australia, in 1993, and a PhD in Science (Coupled Ocean and Sea-ice Modelling in the Southern Ocean) through the University of Tasmania and Antarctic Cooperative Research Centre in 1999. He has expertise in all aspects of global ocean climate modelling. He was responsible for development of the ocean component of the Australian Community Climate and Earth System Simulator Climate Model (ACCESS-CM) delivery to the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) Working Group on Coupled Modelling (WGCM) Climate Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5), and actively involved in Australia’s ongoing coupled model development for CMIP6. Marsland had 4 years postdoctoral experience at the Max-Planck Institute for Meteorology, Germany, in the team developing the ocean component of the MPIOM-ECHAM5 submission to CMIP3, including first authorship on the seminal publication of the MPIOM ocean model. He has particular interests in both high latitude ocean-ice interactions and sea level rise. He collaborates widely, particularly through his affiliations within the Australian university research community as an Associate Investigator in the Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science (ARCCSS), as a Partner Investigator in the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes (CLEX), and as an Adjunct Associate Professor within the University of Tasmania Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS). He has knowledge in all aspects of coupled climate modelling. Marsland is a member of the WCRP Working Group on Coupled Modelling (2015-24), was a member of the WCRP/CLIVAR Working Group on Ocean Model Development (2010-2014), was Co-Chair of the CLIVAR Ocean Model Development Panel (2015-19), and a member of the WCRP Climate Model Metrics Panel (2012+). Marsland was a team leader of the CSIRO Climate Science Centre ACCESS Coupled Climate Modelling Team and Lead Chief Investigator of the Australian National Environmental Science Program (NESP) Earth Systems and Climate Change (ESCC) Hub Project 2.1: “Preparing ACCESS for CMIP6”. He served as a Review Editor for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Sixth Assessment Report (IPCC-AR6) Chapter 9: “Oceans, cryosphere and sea level”.
