Rachel Taylor

Rachel Taylor is a Research Fellow at the University of Southern Queensland's Centre for Applied Climate Sciences, specializing in climate extremes and adaptation. She contributes to the Northern Australia Climate Program (NACP) and focuses on thermal stress indices for cattle grazing industries.

Her research interests include

• Fire Weather
• Climate Change
• Climate Extremes
• Weather and Forecasting
• Climate Drivers
• Large-Scale Analysis

Rachel's current work, funded by Meat and Livestock Australia Donor Company through NACP, investigates climate model projections for thermal stress management in northern cattle grazing. She analyzes hindcasts and forecasts from ACCESS-S2, ACCESS-G3, and ACCESS-GE models, with a focus on cattle chill events in Australia.
