Is the Climate Changing Faster than Expected?
November 29, 2024 8:37 am Comments Off on Is the Climate Changing Faster than Expected?The evidence is clear: the impacts of global warming are increasing, and to reduce them, we require a deep and rapid cut in greenhouse gas emissions.
Urban Climates and Climate Change
November 19, 2024 9:15 am Comments Off on Urban Climates and Climate ChangeUrban climatology studies how urbanisation and climate change shape local weather, with cities altering climates through heat-retaining surfaces and geographic factors like latitude and topography.
Ocean Oxygen Loss: If Fish Could Talk
October 31, 2024 2:10 pm Comments Off on Ocean Oxygen Loss: If Fish Could TalkOcean oxygen loss is widespread and accelerating in both coastal waters and the open ocean due to climate change and nutrient runoff, with profound consequences for ocean life and humanity.
Understanding Net Zero
October 3, 2024 8:50 am Comments Off on Understanding Net ZeroAchieving net zero emissions is essential to limit the impacts of climate change which are already being felt across the world. Once net zero is reached, global mean surface temperature will likely stabilise.
Ocean Fronts
October 1, 2024 3:40 pm Comments Off on Ocean FrontsOcean fronts act as hotspots for marine biodiversity and play an important role in regulating the Earth’s climate. As the oceans get warmer with climate change, the location, number and intensity of ocean fronts may change. This could have far-reaching implications for the climate system, marine ecosystems and global fisheries.
Building Bridges Between Climate Scientists and Decision-Makers
July 31, 2024 4:11 pm Comments Off on Building Bridges Between Climate Scientists and Decision-MakersKnowledge brokers work at the interface of academics and consumers of climate information, sharing knowledge with the goal of facilitating communication and achieving improved outcomes for all.
Nature-Based Solutions
June 18, 2024 2:18 pm Comments Off on Nature-Based SolutionsIn recent years, nature-based solutions have gained considerable attention as a means to reach net-zero targets and many governments and companies are incorporating them in their net-zero strategies. Some sectors strongly advocate for these solutions while others criticise them.
Working with Uncertainty in Climate Planning and Adaptation
May 23, 2024 4:50 pm Comments Off on Working with Uncertainty in Climate Planning and AdaptationClimate model simulations offer us information about possible future outcomes with varying degrees of uncertainty. Understanding uncertainty in climate projections is vital for making more informed decisions and planning adaptation responses.
Climatic factors affecting the Great Barrier Reef
April 2, 2024 12:05 pm Comments Off on Climatic factors affecting the Great Barrier ReefThe Great Barrier Reef has experienced six mass bleaching events and is currently experiencing its seventh bleaching event in 2024. What are the main drivers of coral bleaching and how is climate change affecting the reef?
