Dr Delphi Ward

Dr Delphi Ward is a CERC Postdoctoral Fellow with the Marine Systems Modelling & Informatics group at CSIRO Oceans & Atmosphere (Hobart). Delphi is interested in understanding how interactions and feedbacks at different scales shape emergent socio-ecological system states, and how these could be made more sustainable. During her PhD, Delphi developed and applied a range of approaches for predicting, characterizing and detecting ecological regime shifts. Delphi’s current research is focused on developing processes and tools to support adaptation towards greater sustainability and resilience in socio-ecological systems facing tipping points. She will combine knowledge co-production and ensemble modelling to explore interactions between thresholds and tipping points, forecast future socio-ecological system states and develop indicators to support decision-making.
