Mandy Freund

Mandy Freund is a Lecturer in climate science at the University of Melbourne, specializing in tropical and extratropical climate variability through integrated analysis of observations, seasonal forecasts, paleoclimate data, and climate model simulations.

Her research focuses on:

• Modes of climate variability and their links to weather regimes, particularly the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and teleconnections
• Regimes driving droughts and precipitation anomalies
• Advanced statistical and machine learning methods for dynamical climate analysis
• Implications of climate system complexities in a warming world

She actively applies interdisciplinary approaches to unravel climate dynamics across multiple time scales.
