As an expert in greenhouse climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion and yearly climate variations resulting from the El Nino events, he was intensely involved in preparation of the 2007 Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). After a period as Director of the CRC for Southern Hemisphere Meteorology nd as Professor of Meteorology at Monash University Karoly joined the School of Earth Sciences, The University of Melbourne, in May 2007. He is a member of the Climate Change Authority in Australia, the Science Advisory Panel to the Australian Climate Commission, the Wentworth Group of Concerned Scientists, and the Joint Scientific Committee, which supervises the World Climate Research Programme.

"David Karoly is internationally recognised as a world leader in climate dynamics and climate change science. In his early research, he carried out pioneering studies that provided the theoretical basis for understanding observed linkages between climate anomalies at large distances across the globe. He identified, for the first time, the links between El Niño-Southern Oscillation events and variations of the Southern Hemisphere circulation. His research has led the development of methods for the detection and attribution of climate change, most recently for extreme climate events. David is also an international leader in the public communication of climate science." [from https://www.science.org.au/profile/david-karoly 28/4/2022]
