Zebedee is the Modelling and Data Director at Climate Resource and co-founded the company. He works at the intersection of scientific research and research software engineering. Zebedee holds a Masters degree in Physics and a Ph.D. in Climate Science, focusing on development, evaluation and application of reduced complexity climate models. He has worked as a post-doc at The University of Melbourne and The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and was both a Lead and Contributing Author to multiple chapters of the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report. Zebedee has been awarded an Australian Research Council grant to develop a computationally efficient climate model emulator suitable for net-zero and net-negative emission scenarios.
Zebedee leads much of Climate Resource's work on:
- ESM input data - the integration of satellite-based earth observations into greenhouse gas concentration inputs for Earth system models, as part of CMIP (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project).
- Temperature assessment- building software and providing advice to enable organisations to access and run MAGICC with appropriate inputs and configurations. This supports organisations to assess the global-mean climate implications of emissions scenarios (for example, quantifying the warming associated with the IEA’s World Energy Outlook scenarios).
