Marshall is a computational model developer with an emphasis on earth systems modelling. He graduated from Florida State University in 2008 with a Ph.D. in geophysical fluid dynamics, where he developed a high-resolution model of ocean wave dynamics. After a brief stint in the video game industry, where he developed a graphics rendering engine used in several published titles, he worked as a researcher at the Australian National University on the dynamics of the Southern Ocean, primarily using massively parallel ocean models. He has also contributed to modelling studies in lava flow, semiconductor physics and pipe flow. His interests are in high-performance computing and ocean climate model development.

Paola received a PhD from the University of Siena (Italy) in 2005. Her research interests included modelling ocean and atmosphere interactions in Antarctica and sea-ice processes. For the past five years she have been managing oceanographic and climate datasets for the Tasmanian Partnership for Advanced Computing (TPAC), acquiring extensive experience in web services and software used by the earth science research community. At the CoECSS her role will focus on facilitating the use of CMIP5 data and more generally data management.
