Summary
👤
SeniorGareth Davies is a tsunami hazard scientist with 14+ years at Geoscience Australia combining field expertise in coastal geomorphology with advanced numerical and statistical modelling. He specializes in quantifying tsunami size, frequency, and uncertainty using high-performance computing (currently NCI's Gadi) and more than two decades of scientific programming in R, Fortran, Python, and C. His work spans national and international advisory roles—among them the Australian Tsunami Advisory Group and the Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning and Mitigation System—and close collaboration with Australian emergency services to translate hazard science into operational guidance. Gareth holds a PhD in Coastal Geomorphology and maintains an active technical presence on GitHub, reflecting a practitioner-researcher profile that bridges code, computation, and policy-focused hazard mitigation.
