Andréa Sardinha Taschetto

Andréa Sardinha Taschetto or A. S. Taschetto; Andréa Taschetto is a climate change scientist at the University of New South Wales,^[1] and winner of the Dorothy Hill award.^[2][3] She was awarded an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship in 2016. Her research has contributed to improved understanding of the role of oceans, on climate variability at regional scales, and from seasonal to mulit-decade timescales. This research also has assisted with future climate projections.

Education

Taschetto obtained a Bachelor of Science in physics, a Masters of Science and a PhD in Physical Oceanography from USP Brazil, in 2006, all from the University of São Paulo.^[4]

Career

Taschetto has conducted research in climate systems science, and in understanding both large‐scale oceanographic and atmospheric phenomena in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, as well as the impact of these upon regional climates.^[5][6] She has conducted research on regional climate dynamics and global modes of climate variability, including research on the El Niño Modoki phenomenon. She specialises in researching the role of the oceans and their impacts on regional climate variability, including seasonal and multi‐decadal timescales, as well as conducting research on future climate projections.^[7][8]

She has published her work on the Atlantic Ocean and La Nina climatology work in The Conversation, with colleagues from the University of New South Wales.^[9] She received an ARC Future Fellowship for $652,000, in 2016 for her work on the impacts of drought and floods, including forecasting of climate, which will enable improved understanding of socio-economic impacts of climate extremes.^[10]

Taschetto has over 50 publications in various international journals, including Nature Climate Change.^[11] Select publications include:

Taschetto has also been cited in the Brazilian Journal of Oceanography.^[15]

Media

Taschetto has commented on the impact of La Nina and impacts on Australian weather systems, in various media, including The Conversation, and The New Daily.^[16][17] The media has also covered her work on the Atlantic Ocean. including Seven news.^[18] She has contributed various articles to The Conversation,^[19] on the Indian Ocean Diopole, Atlantic Ocean currents, and the 2015 El Nino and its impact on Australian weather.^[20] She was interviewed for her work on unseasonably cold and wetter summers, on 2NM.^[21]
