Dr Eric Oliver is a postdoctoral fellow with the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science. He is interested in ocean and climate variations and their predictability.
Biography
Eric studied physics for his undergraduate (2004) and Master's (2006) degrees and received his PhD in Physical Oceanography in 2011 from Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. After his PhD he held a short postdoc position at Dalhousie studying extreme ocean currents in the northwest Atlantic Ocean. In 2012 he moved to Australia to take up a Super Science Fellow position at the University of Tasmania studying marine climate change in the Tasman Sea, particularly its role in the variability of the East Australian Current and benthic communities on the East Australian shelf. Since 2015 he has been a postdoctoral fellow with the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science studying the detection and attribution of anthropogenic influences on the oceans.

Research Themes
Eric's research aligns to the University's research theme of Marine, Antarctic and Maritime. His research interests involve ocean variability across a range of time and space scales and include the role of climate change on the variability of the East Australian Current (and other western boundary currents), extreme events in the ocean including Marine Heatwaves, anthropogenic influences on the ocean, the influence of the Madden-Julian Oscillation on the ocean and atmosphere, the predictability of ocean and atmospheric variability, and statistical methods for solving these problems.
Collaboration
Eric is currently involved in a number of research projects, with collaborators in Australia and internationally. Within the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science Eric is collaborating on questions regarding ocean variability and climate change with colleagues from universities across Australia (primarily UNSW). Research on marine heatwaves further includes collaborations with Australian researchers at UWA and AIMS as well as international researchers based in the USA (University of Maine) and UK (Marine Biological Association of the UK, Scottish Marine Institute, Aberstwyth University). Research on the Madden-Julian Oscillation, and its impact on ocean and climate variability, involves collaboration with colleagues in Canada (Dalhousie University), the USA (Colorado State University), and Costa Rica (Universidad Nacional).

Current projects
Current research projects include:
- The study of marine heatwaves, including global patterns and long-term trends as well as local case studies (e.g., Tasmania)
- Anthropogenic influences on the ocean including changes to western boundary currents (e.g., the East Australian Current) and its properties (transport, temperature, eddies)
- Regional ocean modelling of the continental shelf off eastern Tasmania in order to reconstruct and understand historic marine climate variations in the region
- The influence of the Madden-Julian Oscillation on tropical cyclones, North American air temperatures and snowfall, and ocean and climate variability off Costa Rica.

Publications
Eric has examined sea surface temperature (SST) extremes, both from the observed record and from ocean model projections, off southeast Australia in order to map how extreme SSTs were distributed in the past and are projected to change in the 21st century (Oliver et al., 2014a). To do so he developed a sophisticated and novel technique, a Bayesian hierarchical extremes model, which allows for an improved estimate of extreme climate conditions from global climate models, essentially a form of bias correction (Oliver et al., 2014b).
Eric has also examined extreme values in other marine variables including current speeds and sea levels (Oliver et al., 2012). He has used downscaled global climate model projections of mean circulation off southeast Australia to show how the changing South Pacific circulation is linked to 21st century changes in the South Pacific winds (Oliver and Holbrook, 2014a).
The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is an important mode of climate variability. Eric's PhD work identified several regions of the ocean where the MJO has a particularly strong influence (Oliver and Thompson, 2010), including Australasia and Southeast Asia. Eric used regional numerical models to show, for the first time, that sea level and ocean current variations in the Gulf of Carpentaria are strongly linked to the MJO (Oliver and Thompson, 2011, 2012). Similarly, he showed that in the Gulf of Thailand the MJO forces sea level variations (Oliver, 2014) with implications for flooding in low-lying coastal areas.Eric has also examined the predictability of the MJO (Oliver and Thompson, 2015) and its links with tropical cyclones (Klotzback and Oliver, 2015a,b).

- Description
- This project will identify and characterize marine heatwaves from the historic record along the east coast of Tasmania. The historic record will be derived from daily three-dimensional ocean temperatures from the ETAS coastal ocean model. ETAS covers the eastern continental shelf of Tasmania and has a spatial resolution of approximately 2 km spanning the 1993-2015 period. The ETAS model was forced by historic ocean and atmosphere reanalyses and has been extensively validated against existing observations in the region (Oliver and Holbrook, in prep.). It therefore represents our best estimate of the ocean state off eastern Tasmania. This data provides an unprecedented high-resolution record of the marine climate variations off eastern Tasmania.
