Mathilde Ritman describes her journey as a second-year undergraduate student into a CLEX research project with Linden Ashcroft. It led to a publication, a massive learning curve in coding, stints with the Bureau of Meteorology and CSIRO, and opened a path to a career in climate science.
Kim Reid offers a useful list of common unspoken knowledge for postgraduate students in the climate sciences. Hopefully, she says, this will save you some time and mistakes in the future.
Climate sensitivity describes how sensitive the Earth’s temperature is to a doubling of the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. One measure of climate sensitivity for projections of future climate is the Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity (ECS). ECS is the increase in the global average temperature between the pre-industrial era and a future doubled carbon dioxide climate once equilibrium of the climate has been reached.
Navid Constantinou developed a new Julia package that provides solvers for geophysical fluid dynamics problems in periodic domains. It was also the first time he had been involved in an open peer-review process, and this experience was "mind changing".
El pasado 08 de marzo conmemoramos el Día Internacional de la Mujer, el cual es un día que me resulta en un encuentro de emociones opuestas.
On March 8, we celebrated International Women's Day but for Denisse Fiero Arcos, it's a day that raises mixed feelings.
Mi nombre es Denisse Fierro Arcos, soy bióloga marina nacida en Ecuador, pero que adopté a Australia como mi segundo país hace unos años. He trabajado como consultora ambiental e investigadora y he tenido la oportunidad de trabajar en proyectos que se enfocan en una variedad de sistemas y especies marinas en Sudamérica y Australia.
Denisse Fierro Arcos is back in Australia completing her first semester as a PhD student at the University of Tasmania’s Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS). Her project focuses on understanding how fine scale changes in sea ice and ocean conditions affect Southern Ocean marine ecosystems. This is her first blog post.
This time last year Kim Reid was planning a Euro-adventure where she would attend a summer school in the Swiss Alps, attend EGU, visit Reading and the Met Office and explore some castles on the side. Now she and her supervisor joke that if case numbers stay low, Kim might be able to visit a university in the same city.
PhD student Charuni Pathmeswaran was invited as a climate scientist to take part in a young professionals’ event organized by the NESP Earth Systems and Climate and Change (ESCC) Hub and jointly hosted by the Actuaries Institute and Engineers Australia.
