Professor Barry Brook holds the Foundation Sir Hubert Wilkins Chair of
Climate Change and is Director of the Research Institute for Climate Change
and Sustainability at the University of Adelaide.

He has published two books and over 130 peer-reviewed scientific papers,
and regularly writes opinion pieces and popular articles for the media. He
has received a number of distinguished awards in recognition of his
research excellence, which addresses the topics of climate change,
computational and statistical modelling and the synergies between human
impacts on Earth systems.

For more on his climate science qualifications, read this post.

Effective communication of the science of climate change is fundamental to
providing policy makers with the type of evidence required to institute
meaningful mitigation policy and to understand available adaptation
options. It is this imperative that has Barry to take an active leadership
role in the communication of the science of global change to government,
industry and the community (directly, via public lectures and workshops and
advisory committees, and indirectly via the media - including television,
radio, the print media and popular science articles).

It is his belief that presenting hard-won technical scientific evidence to
a broad audience in an intelligible way is the surest path to provoking
meaningful societal change towards long-term sustainability.
