Dr Alejandro di Luca
Post-Doctoral Research Fellow
Alejandro investigates regional climate modeling and the study of climate change at regional scales. He uses regional models to investigate the development of storm systems including the influence of local topography and sea surface temperatures.

Dr Mark Decker
Post-Doctoral Research Fellow
Mark's research focuses on the land surface and its interaction with the atmosphere. Specifically his interests include using land models in conjunction with in-situ and remotely sensed measurements to study the impact of land processes on weather and climate, the development of land models focusing on improving the representation of the various physical processes, and the impact on climate due to both natural and anthropogenic changes in the land surface. Currently he is identifying regions in Australia where groundwater has a significant impact on climate through the use of models and remotely sensed data.

Dr Yi Liu
Post-Doctoral Research Fellow
Liu's research interest is in using satellite-based observations to investigate the hydrological cycle e.g., precipitation, evaporation, soil moisture, vegetation water content and ground�water storage, for enhanced understanding of interactions between different hydrological components.

Dr Hoori Ajami
Post-Doctoral Research Fellow
Hoori's main area of expertise is in Catchment Hydrology and Spatial Analysis, with experience in the areas of groundwater recharge, surface water-groundwater interactions, riparian evapotranspiration, and GIS custom application development for hydrological models. Current research interests also include application of integrated hydrological models to characterize surface water/groundwater/atmospheric interactions, assessing climate change impacts on groundwater recharge in mountainous catchments of semi-arid basins, and application of isotope and remote sensing data in characterizing hydrologic cycle.

Dr James Gilmore
Post-Doctoral Research Fellow
James is interested in atmospheric physics--in particular, precipitation physics and how this relates to changes in climate. He uses cloud-resolving models to understand precipitation processes and extremes, with a focus on precipitation over Australia. His background is in theoretical physics, and he employs methods from this field in his research.
