Biography
Dr Chiara Holgate connects weather with water resources. Her research investigates the weather system processes that cause hydroclimatological extremes like droughts and floods and their impact on water availability, and explores how these processes are being shaped by climate change. Chiara is a Senior Research Fellow at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Weather of the 21st Century. She has a PhD in Hydrology and Climate Science from the Australian National University and has previously worked as a Research Scientist at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. Prior to research Chiara worked as a Hydrologist and Water Resources Engineer at a global engineering consulting firm where she provided advice to government and industry in a variety of areas, including flood risk, environmental hazard strategies, and water demand, availability and quality assessment. Chiara was named as a 2022/2023 Superstar of STEM by Science and Technology Australia.
