Art Cotterell

Research Associate, School of Regulation and Global Governance, Australian National University

Research Associate, School of Regulation and Global Governance, Australian National University Art Cotterell is a researcher, policy adviser and lawyer. Art joined the School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet) at the Australian National University (ANU) in late 2023 as a Research Associate, and is a Research Affiliate with the Australian Centre for Space Governance. Prior to joining academia, Art was an executive level advisor on regulatory reform within Australian Government central agencies, and previously worked in international policy and cooperation on intellectual property (IP). Art’s research is on regulating emerging technologies, with a focus on balancing public and private interests and using technology as a basis for international cooperation. Art is completing their PhD on international outer space and IP law at The University of Adelaide.

Andreas Malm

Associate Professor of Human Ecology, Lund University

Associate Professor of Human Ecology, Lund University Andreas Malm is associate professor of human ecology at Lund University, Sweden. His research focuses primarily on various aspects of the climate crisis. He is the author of, among other books, Fossil Capital: The Rise of Steam Power and the Roots of Global Warming (Verso, 2016) and The Progress of This Storm: Nature and Society in a Warming World (Verso, 2018). In 2020 he wrote a short book about the corona crisis as well as How to Blow Up a Pipeline: Learning to Fight in a World on Fire and – together with the Zetkin Collective – White Skin, Black Fuel: On the Dangers of Fossil Fascism, all at Verso. With J.P. Sapinski and Holly Jean Buck, Malm is editing a book on negative emissions technologies from Rutgers University Press called Has it Come to This? The Promises and Perils of Geoengineering on the Brink. He is also working on a history of humanity in the wilderness. During his stay at the Humanities and Social Change Center, Malm wrote the book Corona, Climate, Chronic Emergency. War Communism in the Twenty-First Century (Verso 2020).

Amoré Elsje Nel

Applied Geomagnetic Researcher, South African National Space Agency

Applied Geomagnetic Researcher, South African National Space Agency Amoré Nel attained her BSc in applied mathematics at the University of Stellenbosch and her BSc (Hons) in astrophysics at the University of the Free State. She was awarded the South African National Space Agency Masters Scholarship and attained her MSc at the North-West University studying near-Earth solar turbulence. She then attained her PhD in space physics in 2019, reporting on the discovery and analysis of a new type of aurora while on field work in Norway. She was also part of the 2018/2019 Antarctic take-over team doing routine maintenance on the scientific instrumentation at the South African Antarctic base. Her postdoctoral work was at the Helmholtz GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences (Potsdam, Germany) where the focus was on recording and analysing magnetometer observatory data, Southern African regional geomagnetic field models, and external geomagnetic field studies using joint satellite and ground based observatory data. Her areas of interest have been studying near-Earth solar turbulence and the solar-cycle dependences of solar turbulence quantities, upper atmosphere studies using incoherent scatter radar and optical methods to investigate small scale auroras in Norway, and abrupt secular variation changes in Earth's geomagnetic field. She was nominated for the 2024 TWAS Award in Physics, Astronomy & Space Sciences and became co-investigator in the NASA-IMAP mission to study the interaction of the solar wind with the local interstellar medium. Currently she is the applied geomagnetic researcher at SANSA Space Science and aims to further pan-African geomagnetic research and innovation by deploying magnetometer stations near and adjacent to the magnetic equator in Kenya and Ethiopia respectively. She is passionate about promoting international cooperation in the field of space science and her aim is to create a strong link between the South African National Space Agency and the African space science community, enabling cross-training and knowledge sharing.

Alistair Grinham

Honorary Associate Professor in Civil Engineering, The University of Queensland

Honorary Associate Professor in Civil Engineering, The University of Queensland Monitoring and understanding of greenhouse gas emissions and sediment dynamics in shallow water bodies. My primary interests are in monitoring and understanding biogeochemical processes within shallow water ecosystems. My formal training was in biochemistry and marine biology focusing on Southern Ocean food webs. Subsequently, I have focused on monitoring sediment loading and greenhouse gas emissions from subtropical coastal and freshwater systems.
