Professor Nigel Tapper completed his PhD focusing on urban climate, addressing critical issues related to climate change over a span of thirty years. His expertise has been recognized through his involvement with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), where he contributed to the infrastructure settlement discussions. Tapper's research is notably linked with the Cities Water Supply Catchments program, a multi-disciplinary initiative funded by state science agendas and federal research initiatives. The program seeks to find solutions like stormwater harvesting to adapt to climate change while securing water supplies. He is particularly focused on mitigating urban warmth due to increasing populations and climate change impacts. His projects explore capturing stormwater to enhance urban environments and improve water security. Tapper has also studied the ecological impacts of dust in Australia, demonstrating how it affects snowpack and can introduce pathogens into water systems. Inspired by natural processes, he advocates for urban designs that emulate termite mound structures to optimize thermal regulation in buildings. Throughout his career, he has actively contributed to advancing sustainable urban designs in the context of climate change and water management.
