Andréa Sardinha Taschetto or A. S. Taschetto; Andréa Taschetto is a climate change scientist at the University of New South Wales,{{Cite web |title=News – CSHOR |url=https://cshor.csiro.au/news/ |access-date=2022-08-07 |website=cshor.csiro.au |language=en-AU}} and winner of the Dorothy Hill award.{{Cite web |title=Taschetto |url=https://bv.fapesp.br/en/pesquisador/17053/andrea-sardinha-taschetto}}{{Cite web |title=Advanced Scientific |url=https://www.adscientificindex.com/scientist.php?id=118322}} She was awarded an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship in 2016. Her research has contributed to improved understanding of the role of oceans, on climate variability at regional scales, and from seasonal to mulit-decade timescales. This research also has assisted with future climate projections.
Education
Taschetto obtained a Bachelor of Science in physics, a Masters of Science and a PhD in Physical Oceanography from the University of São Paulo in Brazil.{{Cite web |title=Associate Professor Andrea Sardinha Taschetto |url=https://research.unsw.edu.au/people/associate-professor-andrea-sardinha-taschetto |access-date=2022-08-07 |website=research.unsw.edu.au |language=en}}
Career
Taschetto has conducted research in climate systems science, and in understanding both large-scale oceanographic and atmospheric phenomena in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, as well as the impact of these upon regional climates.{{Cite web |title=Loop {{!}} Andrea Taschetto |url=https://loop.frontiersin.org/people/1280787/overview |access-date=2022-08-07 |website=loop.frontiersin.org}}{{Cite web |title=ORCID |url=https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6020-1603 |access-date=2022-08-07 |website=orcid.org}} She has conducted research on regional climate dynamics and global modes of climate variability, including research on the El Niño Modoki phenomenon. She specialises in researching the role of the oceans and their impacts on regional climate variability, including seasonal and multi-decadal timescales, as well as conducting research on future climate projections.{{Cite web |title=Associate Professor Andrea Sardinha Taschetto |url=https://research.unsw.edu.au/people/associate-professor-andrea-sardinha-taschetto |access-date=2022-08-07 |website=research.unsw.edu.au |language=en}}{{Cite web |title=Briefing note 17: Could understanding the Indian Ocean improve climate predictions for Australia? |url=https://climateextremes.org.au/briefing-note-17-could-understanding-the-indian-ocean-improve-climate-predictions-for-australia/ |access-date=2022-08-07 |website=The ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes |date=24 October 2021 |language=en-AU}}
