Sharmila Sur is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Applied Climate Sciences, University of Southern Queensland (USQ), currently based at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, Melbourne to work in close collaboration with seasonal prediction team as a part of the Northern Australia Climate Program (NACP). Sharmila is involved in understanding and predicting multiyear-to-decadal climate variability over Northern Australia, including the causes and predictability of multiyear wet/dry conditions using observations and ocean-atmosphere coupled ACCESS-S2. Her other research expertise includes understanding monsoon dynamics, simulation and prediction of sub-seasonal variability, tropical cyclones in a changing climate, and assessment of state-of-the-art climate models. Prior joining USQ, Sharmila was a Post-Doctoral researcher at the School of Earth Sciences, University of Melbourne. She also worked as a Research Fellow at the Indian Institute of Meteorology (IITM, Pune) and received her Ph.D. in Atmospheric and Space Science from University of Pune, India in 2015.
