Ailie Gallant elected AMOS Fellow

21st Century Weather congratulates our Chief Investigator Ailie Gallant, who has been elected a Fellow of the Australian Meteorological & Oceanographic Society (AMOS).

Ailie is an Associate Professor in the School of Earth, Atmosphere and Environment at Monash University, and a leading expert in climate extremes, particularly drought.

Her election as an AMOS Fellow is recognition of her outstanding achievements and major contributions to the field.

Ailie’s research has included notable studies on flash droughts in Australia and the role of heavy rainfall in breaking drought cycles, contributing to a more nuanced understanding of these phenomena. 

Her work has advanced understanding of climate extremes and has helped bridge the gap between scientific research and public awareness of climate issues. 

Within AMOS, Ailie has been an active member since her time as a graduate student, including serving as National Secretary (2007–2010) and chairing the Scientific Organizing Committee for the 2016 AMOS Conference.
