Jan Zika is an Associate Professor at the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of New South Wales, Sydney. He plays a fundamental research role in understanding how ocean water is affected by climate change. Jan has led a team of researchers using ocean observations to demonstrate that as the climate warms, wet regions of the globe are becoming wetter while dry regions are becoming dryer. His research has contributed significantly to establishing that the atmosphere is unlikely to become more energetic as a result of climate change, affirming that the water system enhances the efficiency of the atmospheric heat engine. Prior to his position at UNSW, Jan completed his PhD at CSIRO Hobart and worked at institutions such as Université Joseph Fourier Grenoble, University of Southampton, and Imperial College London. He has been awarded both National Environment Research Council Postdoctoral and Senior Fellowships. In recognition of his work, Jan received the Outstanding Early Career Researcher Award from the European Geosciences Union's Ocean Science Division in 2018, and in 2020 he was awarded the Anton Hales Medal by the Australian Academy of Science.
