The Chair is also tasked to draw together expertise in climate change from across the university.[1] The foundation appointee to the position was Professor Barry Brook who held the position for 8 years until December 2014. From 1 January 2015 to 15 January 2017, the position was held by Professor Corey J. A. Bradshaw.[2] It is unknown if the position will continue. NomenclatureThe Chair's namesake, Sir Hubert Wilkins, was a South Australian researcher who studied weather and its impacts on people.
