Biography

Thomas is an ocean data scientist and Ocean Dynamics Team Leader at the CSIRO Climate Science Centre. He received his PhD from the Institute of Antarctic and Southern Ocean Studies (University of Tasmania) with a focus on the coupling of physical and biological ocean processes. Thomas worked at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography’s Center for Coastal Studies and the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory before he completed a post-doc at CSIRO in ocean biogeochemistry. Thomas is grateful for a diverse career that has taken him from deploying ocean sensors on remote Indonesian reefs to communicating ocean science in the Arctic to scientific programming on Australia’s super computer.
