Marc Duldig

Dr. Marc Duldig is a University Associate in the School of Natural Sciences at the University of Tasmania, specializing in high energy astrophysics, galactic cosmic rays, and nuclear physics. His research focuses on cosmic ray modulation, solar cycle effects, and space weather phenomena using global networks of neutron monitors and muon detectors. He has contributed to major projects like the Global Muon Detector Network (GMDN) and led investigations into cosmic ray anisotropies, Forbush decreases, and interplanetary shock effects.

• Funded Projects:
  • Leading a project on polar atmospheric chemistry and climate (2008–2012, $90,213).
  • Top-up scholarship for modeling solar energetic particle acceleration (2002–2005, $17,439).
  • Development of transportable cosmic ray observatories (1998–2002, $372,600).

His research outputs include over 120 peer-reviewed articles, with recent work emphasizing real-time cosmic ray monitoring, solar event impacts, and Antarctic observations. He has supervised five doctoral and master's students on topics ranging from cosmic ray modulation to relativistic solar proton acceleration. His service contributions include writing historical reviews of Australian cosmic ray research and public engagement through media publications.
