Biography

Gabriel Pontes is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Climate Change Research Centre (CCRC) at the University of New South Wales, where his work primarily focuses on the role of oceans in the climate system. His research explores how oceans are affected by ice sheets and the roles of carbon dioxide and solar radiation in historical contexts, with the aim of informing future oceanic responses. Gabriel conducts simulations of global climate systems, investigating the ocean's response to ice sheet melting and its impacts on both global and regional climates. His wide range of research interests includes oceanic-atmospheric teleconnections, factors affecting high latitude Southern Hemisphere climate, and the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), with particular attention to the impact of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on high latitudes and changes in tropical rainfall.
