Anna Ukkola

Dr. Anna Ukkola is a Senior Lecturer at the Climate Change Research Centre, University of New South Wales (UNSW). Her research focuses on climate change impacts on vegetation and water resources, with a particular emphasis on drought dynamics in Australia and globally. She integrates climate and land surface modeling with observational data, including remote sensing and flux tower measurements, to improve drought prediction frameworks.

Her recent publications explore topics such as biophysical feedbacks during droughts, human-caused climate change effects on Australian droughts, and uncertainty in terrestrial carbon cycle projections. Collaborations with institutions like the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes and the University of Melbourne highlight her interdisciplinary approach.
