Dr Aurel MOISE

As the Deputy Director of the Department of Climate Research at CCRS, Dr Aurel Moise provides leadership and guidance to several areas of research undertaken at CCRS. This includes the production of the new set of regional climate change projections for Singapore, sub-seasonal to seasonal prediction, analysis of tropical processes and oversight of the National Sea Level Programme (NSLP). In this role, Dr Moise is strongly involved in stakeholder engagements across various sectors of government locally as well as with international partners and collaborators.

Dr Aurel Moise previously worked at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology’s research division from 2004 until 2019. His focus was on regional monsoons, climate change, general tropical climate topics as well as climate change projections science. Additionally, he conducted and published research in the field of climate extremes, climate variability and teleconnections. His research experience expands to big data topics such as the retrieval, storage, and analysis of CMIP and reanalysis data sets. Over the last few years, he has been one of the deputy leaders on the Australian Earth System and Climate Change Hub, which is the Australian National Environment Science Program’s investment into climate change research across many organisations.

Dr Aurel Moise has published more than 70 peer-reviewed papers in the last 10 years, including a recent book chapter on the Australian monsoon in current and future climate. Since 2018, he is the co-chair of the GEWEX/CLIVAR Global Monsoons Panel as well as co-leading the regional Asian-Australian Monsoon Working Group. Since mid-October 2019, he has joined CCRS as the new Branch Head for Climate Research.
