Dr Georgia Chaseling

Dr Chaseling is a cardiovascular and thermal physiologist with experience investigating the influence of heat and exercise on thermal, cardiovascular, and perceptual outcomes amongst clinical populations.

Dr. Chaseling is a postdoctoral research fellow on the NHMRC Synergy Grant, SOLVE-CHD, which is a multidisciplinary research project looking to transform the post-discharge care for people with heart disease across Australia.Within the SOLVE-CHD program, Dr Chaseling leads a number of projectsresearching the negative impacts of environmental extremes on adverse cardiovascular outcomes for people with cardiovascular disease and developing sustainable and effective measures to mitigate health issues that are aggravated by climate change. Her research focuses on building community resilience to environmental extremes by integrating scientific, environmental, and clinical data that determine a person’s heat health risk and working to improve and individualise public health guidelines for vulnerable populations.

Dr. Chaseling is part of the Australian Society for Medical Research NSW Committee, chairs the Heat and Health Research Incubator Early-Mid Career Research Committee, and holds a position in the Scientific and Social Committee withinAustralian Cardiovascular Health and Rehabilitation Association.
