Paul J. Durack (born 1979) is an Australian climate scientist and research scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison. Previous to working in the USA he was a graduate student and research scientist at the CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere laboratories in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, and at the CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere Laboratories in Aspendale, Victoria, Australia before moving to Tasmania.
He is known for work researching changing global ocean salinity patterns.[1][2][3][4], and how observed changes since the 1950s relate to coincident water cycle changes in the atmosphere. The work received considerable attention in thescientific community.[5][6][7][8][9][10]. The work leveraged the historical global ship-based hydrographic ocean observations, along with modern ocean measurements provided by the Argo Program along with data from model simulations that contributed to the third phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP). His subsequent work replicated the previous model results using more recent model simulations that contributed to the fifth phase of CMIP[4]
He has also undertaken work focused on investigating global ocean warming, and how the lack of comprehensive measurements in the Southern Hemisphere may have led to a significant underestimate of long-term ocean warming..[11]. Like previous work, this also received considerable scientific attention[12][13][14][15][16][17]. Subsequent work based on simulations from the CMIP5 model suite also tackled the question of how ocean warming has been changing through the full ocean depth over the industrial era[18]
He is currently a lead author for the upcoming Sixth Assessment Report, due for publication in 2021 and is a member of both the World Climate Research Program (WCRP) Coupled Model Intercomparison (CMIP) Panel and the Working Group on Coupled Modelling (WGCM) Infrastructure Panel (WIP).
