Laurie Menviel
University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
Laurie's research focuses on understanding the oceanic circulation, its variability and its impact on global climate, the carbon cycle and the cryosphere. Combining numerical experiments performed with Earth system models with paleoproxy records, she studies the dynamics of abrupt climate change, such as Heinrich events. She is also interested in understanding glacial/interglacial changes in atmospheric CO2.

University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
Katrin is the Director of the Climate Change Research Centre, University of New South Wales (Sydney, Australia). She is interested in abrupt climate change events in the past, present and future as well as thresholds and feedbacks in the climate system. She uses Earth System Climate Models in conjunction with palaeoclimate records to improve our understanding of the basic mechanisms underlying climate variability and climate change, particularly in the context of terrestrial biogeochemical cycles and ocean circulation.
Andy Baker
University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
Andy Baker stays firmly on land, or rather, under it. He has spent many years trying to understand how stalagmites can record paleoclimate. His work on reconstructing annual-resolution paleo records of the North Atlantic Oscillation has led to fun collaborations with paleooceanographers. And remarkably he has published a schlerochronology technical paper.

Stewart Fallon is a Senior Fellow at The Australian National University where he heads the Radiocarbon Laboratory. His research interests include radiocarbon dating, using radiocarbon as a tracer for the carbon cycle, developing proxy records of marine environment using trace element and isotopic records from biogenic archives and examining past environmental change to help understand our future climate.
Jimin Yu
Australian National University, Canberra, Australia
Jimin uses biogenic carbonate proxies to investigate changes in the carbon cycle during the late Quaternary. He is developing new proxies using marine carbonates to reconstruct oceanic environments such as seawater pH and carbonate ion contents. Using a multi-proxies approach, he is interested in reconstructing past ocean circulation changes and their impacts on climate on different timescales.

Xian University, China
Hai Cheng is a paleoclimatologist/geochemist at the Institute of Global Environmental Change, Xi’an Jiaotong University, China. His research is focused on the global monsoon variations in the past, correlations of monsoon changes with marine/ice core records, and U-series dating systematics, specifically working on reconstructions of paleo-monsoon history on a wide-range of timescales via stable isotopes and trace element records.
Naomi Harada
JAMSTEC, Japan
Naomi Harada is Deputy Director of RCGC and is also leading the Marine Ecosystem Dynamics Research Group of RCGC, and Arctic Marine Ecosystem Research Unit of the Institute of Arctic Climate and Environmental Research. Her research focuses on understanding changes in surface water condition (temperature and salinity), and biological production over orbital and millennial time scales based on marine sediment cores records from the Okhotsk and Bering Seas and western North Pacific (http://www.jamstec.go.jp/res/ress/haradan/e/). She is part of the science steering committee of Ecosystem Studies of Sub-Arctic and Arctic Seas (ESSAS), which is the regional program of Integrated Marine Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Research.
Dierk Hebbeln
University of Bremen, Germany
Being a paleoceanographer by training, Dierk focused for many years mainly on the Nordic Seas and the SE-Pacific, following in both regions a comprehensive approach using marine sediments as paleoarchives combined with the investigation of sedimentation processes by linking plankton net, sediment trap and surface sediment investigations. In recent years, his focus shifted towards cold-water coral ecosystems and their long-term history as it is preserved in the – partly impressive – coral mound structures applying diverse technologies ranging from ROVs to the MeBo – the Bremen Sea Floor Drill Rig.
Guillaume Leduc
CEREGE, France
Guillaume Leduc is a CNRS researcher based at CEREGE, Aix-en-Provence, France. He is a geochemist mainly interested in marine sediments collected in various oceanographic settings, and covering timescales ranging from the Pliocene to the last decades. Most of his research activity has been devoted to reconstruct changes in tropical rainfall and sea surface temperature, as well as to confront proxies to climate model simulations in order to understand how paleoceanographic signals are transmitted to the geological records of past climates.
Eelco Rohling
ANU, Australia
Eelco J. Rohling has a PhD in palaeoceanography/climatology from Utrecht, The Netherlands (1991). After a postdoc spent between Utrecht and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, he joined academic faculty at the University of Southampton (1994). He gained a Fellowship in the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (2008), a UK Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award (2010), and an Australian Laureate Fellowship with a Professorship at ANU, Canberra (2013). Eelco has served as Chairman of IMAGES (2005-2008), as Editor at Palaeoceanography (2006-2009) and Reviews of Geophysics (2010-Present), and as Member of the scientific committee of ICP IX, Shanghai (2007).
Richard Zeebe
University of Hawai’I, USA
Zeebe's research focuses on paleoceanography, the global carbon cycle, biogeochemistry, geology, astrochronology and more.

She works primarily with biomarker proxies to reconstruct changes in sea surface temperatures across a range of timescales, from decades to millions of years. Her current research focusses on reconstructing Pliocene and Pleistocene climate variability, including a long-term interest in the mid Pleistocene transition. Recent projects include reconstructions of Southern Ocean surface and intermediate water circulation. She is currently chair of the PAGES working group on Pliocene climate variability (PlioVAR).
Leanne Armand
Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia
Known for her passion of Southern Ocean diatoms (dead or alive), Leanne Armand is a palaeoceanographer and marine scientist within the Macquarie Marine Research Centre and the Dept of Biological Sciences at Macquarie University. Leanne has recently led the first dedicated coring voyage on Australia's new research vessel RV Investigator to the Sabrina Coast, East Antarctica, which is focused on understanding the interactions of the Totten Glacier with the Southern Ocean through multiple glacial cycles. In this research her interest in reconstructing past sea ice extent has turned specifically towards understanding geochemical biomarker production in diatoms and their preservation in the sediments; research undertaken with a team of national and international researchers. This research program and her various roles, viz. Director of the new post-graduate at sea training program on the RV Investigator (CAPSTAN), ANZIC IODP representative and council member for the International Society of Diatom Research, ensures that Australian research interests are integrated with current international directions and opportunities.
Katharine Grant
Australian National University, Canberra, Australia
Katharine is a post-doctoral research fellow at the Australian National University. She uses a multi-proxy approach (e.g. scanning XRF, stable isotopes, environmental magnetism) combined with statistical analyses to produce high-resolution palaeoclimate records over the Plio-Pleistocene. Her research to date has focussed on sea-level/ice-volume variability, Mediterranean palaeoceanography, and African monsoon variability.
