Matthew Brearley

Matthew Brearley is a researcher at Charles Sturt University's School of Allied Health, Exercise and Sports Sciences, specializing in occupational health with focus on physiological responses to heat stress in outdoor work environments. His work addresses critical climate adaptation challenges for Australian labor forces.

Research interests include:

• Core temperature dynamics during/after work exposure
• Climate change impacts on labor capacity
• Heat strain prediction modeling
• Work duration optimization in hot conditions
• Passive cooling interventions
• Environmental ergonomics for outdoor workers

Recent publications analyze post-work cooling rates and climate-driven heat strain scenarios, revealing how rising temperatures reduce safe work durations. His systematic review identifies passive rest limitations while the climate impact study quantifies future productivity losses, informing evidence-based workplace safety standards.
