Gabriel Marques Pontes

Dr. Gabriel Marques Pontes is a Researcher at the Climate Change Research Centre (CCRC) and the Australian Centre for Excellence in Antarctic Sciences (ACEAS) at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). His work focuses on understanding the oceans' role in the climate system, particularly how past ice sheets, carbon dioxide, and solar radiation have impacted oceans and how these insights can inform future climate projections.

• Research Interests: Ocean-ice sheet interactions, Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), high-latitude Southern Hemisphere climate dynamics, and tropical rainfall responses to polar changes.
• Grants: Recipient of prestigious fellowships from ACEAS (2022) and FAPESP-Brazil (2022), along with a PhD scholarship from FAPESP-Brazil (2016-2021).
• Location: Based at the Climate Change Research Centre in Mathews Building, Level 4, UNSW, Kensington 2052.
