His research interests included baroclinic Rossby waves, the variability of the Indian Ocean and its relationship to El Niño Southern Oscillation, and the series of ocean currents draining the Pacific into the Indian Ocean. He collaborated in the development of expendable bathythermographs to measure the oceans' subsurface salinity and temperature. This allowed the generation of maps of oceans' physical conditions to predict extent of rainfall and examine links between the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Meyers was the research leader of the ten-year Tropical Oceans-Global Atmosphere program (1985-1994). As Manager of the CSIRO Oceans and Climate Program (1997-2003) he worked with the Bureau of Meteorology and the Australian Navy to develop predictive models of Australia's seasonal climate and provide maps of temperature and salinity in oceans around Australia. Following his retirement from CSIRO, Meyers was the inaugural Director of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) at the University of Tasmania. 1975 1975 Education - Master of Science (MSc), University of Hawaii, Honolulu, U.S.A. 1978 980 Career position - Postdoctoral Research Oceanographer, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, California USA 1978 1978 Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), University of Hawaii, Honolulu, U.S.A. 1980 1983 Career position - Assistant Research Oceanographer, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, California USA 1983 1985 Career position - Senior Research Scientist ,CSIRO Division of Oceanography, Hobart 1985 1996 Career position - Principal Research Scientist, CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research, Hobart, Tasmania 1996 2006 Career position - Senior Principal Research Scientist, CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research, Hobart, Tasmania 1997 1997 Career position - Invitation Fellowship, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science 1997 2003 Career position - Manager, CSIRO Oceans and Climate Program 1998 2007 Career position - Science Advisory Committee, International Pacific Research Center 2003 2003 Award - CSIRO Partnership Excellence Award 2004 2008 Career position - Founding Chairman, CLIVAR-GOOS Indian Ocean Panel, World Climate Research Program 2006 2006 Award - Morton Medal, Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society 2006 2007 Career position - Chief Research Scientist, CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research, Hobart, Tasmania 2007 2007 Life event - Retired 2007 2009 Career position - Professor, Centre for Marine Science, University of Tasmania 2007 2009 Career position - Director, Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS), University of Tasmania CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (2005 - 2014)
