Dr John Hunter

Dr John Hunter is an oceanographer at ACE CRC and is the developer of the method being presented in this series of seminars and workshops. His current interests are the sea level rise induced by climate change, and the response of Antarctic ice shelves to global warming. Recent work has involved investigations of sea level rise in Australia, the U.S., and in the Indian Ocean and Pacific regions, and the way in which this rise increases the frequency of extreme sea level events.
