Wilton Aguiar

Dr. Wilton Aguiar is a researcher at the Climate and Ocean Geoscience department within the Research School of Earth Sciences at The Australian National University. His work focuses on understanding ocean-climate interactions, particularly in polar and Southern Ocean regions. Key research areas include Antarctic Bottom Water dynamics, meltwater flux variations, and the impacts of freshwater forcing on global climate systems.

His research employs advanced modeling techniques and observational data to explore topics such as human-induced changes in ocean circulation, Holocene climate events, and regional climate variability in South America. He has also conducted studies on environmental contamination in coastal ecosystems and drought patterns in Brazil.

Aguiar’s publications span from 2013 to 2022, reflecting a sustained focus on interdisciplinary climate and oceanography research. While no awards are explicitly listed, his contributions highlight critical insights into global climate processes and their implications for environmental management.
