Biographical: Contact: milton.speer@unsw.edu.au English for both editing and translation
Favourite Publications: Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Journal International Journal of Climatology Climate Dynamics Milton is a meteorologist with over 10 years experience in applied mesoscale modelling research and extensive experience as a trained weather forecaster before that. His research interests cover a variety of fields in weather and climate, particularly focusing on southeast Australia and include severe weather and air quality modelling, mesoscale and synoptic scale meteorology, extratropical climate, and climate variability and change, in collaboration with atmospheric groups at universities and government institutions in Australia, the USA, Korea and China.

Australian east coast rainfall decline related to large scale climate drivers in collaboration with several USA colleagues. A meteorological analysis of the 31 March 2009 Coffs Harbour flash flood rainfall and implications for flash flood warnings, in collaboration with Bureau of Meteorology, Sydney. Awards Australian Academy of Science Visiting Scientist Award 2008 to Co-operative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies, Norman, Oklahoma, USA Bureau of Meteorology Fire Weather Forecasting Excellence Award for the Bureau’s response to the January 2003 fires of southeastern Australia US National Research Associateship Award 2002 (awarded to perform research at the National Severe Storms Laboratory), August – December 2002.
