Biography:
Dr Jillian Huntley specializes in the physicochemical characterization of ochres (mineral pigments), rock art and shelter/cave environments. She uses cutting-edge methods to investigate how past peoples interacted with each other, and their landscapes. Jillian has made a significant contribution to climate change sustainability and adaptation research agendas in the Equatorial Tropics through her work on the effects of climate change on the Pleistocene rock art of Sulawesi (published in Scientific Reports). She is one of the experts currently overseeing the design and implementation of the Murujuga Rock Art Monitoring Program (2020-2024) for the Western Australian government.
