Jordan Peter Anthony Pitt

Jordan is a descendant of the Birri Gubba people, Associate Dean of Indigenous Strategy and Services and Applied Mathematician at the University of Sydney, He completed his PhD at the Australian National University in 2019 developing methods to model the inundation caused by tsunamis and storm surges. His current research, begun as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Adelaide focuses on modelling the interaction between ocean waves and sea ice, which forms as the ocean’s surface freezes. This interaction influences the annual growth and melt of sea ice, which is a key indicator and driver of the Earth’s climate.
