Rate My Professor Josephine Brown

From 2009 to 2019, Brown worked as a Research Scientist at the Bureau of Meteorology, playing a key role in developing climate projections for Australia and Pacific Island nations. She joined the University of Melbourne in March 2019 as a Lecturer in Palaeoclimate Modelling and advanced to Associate Professor. As a member of the Climate Variability and Change research group, she contributes to collaborative efforts with organizations such as the National Environmental Science Program Climate Systems Hub and the Centre of Excellence for Weather of the 21st Century. Brown serves as Chief Investigator for the ARC Centre of Excellence for 21st Century Weather and as Associate Editor for the Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems Science. Notable publications include "Climate Stabilisation Under Net Zero CO2 Emissions" (Earth’s Future, 2025), "What Drives Interannual Rainfall Variability Over Northern Australia?" (2025), "The impacts of an AMOC slowdown on Southern Hemisphere and Australian climates at 8.2 ka in ACCESS-ESM1.5 model" (Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2025), and "Evolution of Heat Extremes Under Net-Zero CO2 Emissions" (Earth’s Future, 2025). Her research significantly impacts the field by enhancing predictions of tropical climate dynamics and supporting regional climate policy.
