We must prepare for a wet spring and possibly another wet summer to come.
If the Southern Ocean continues to account for the vast majority of ocean heat uptake until 2100, we might see its heat content increase by as much as seven times more than what we have already seen up to today.
Clouds are the missing part of the orchestra in climate modelling and predictions.
Almost all catastrophic events are the consequence of multiple drivers acting together.
With so many extreme weather events causing mass deaths and large economic and environmental problems, it’s worth considering whether climate change may be making these events worse.
This project seeks to better constrain convective zones in Australia and how they may be affected by climate change.
This PhD project will undertake coupled climate model simulations of the Oligocene and Miocene, using Australia’s state-of-the art community earth system model ACCESS-ESM1.5.
Despite the recent La Niña years, Prof Arblaster says the global temperatures in the 2020s have remained over 1°C warmer than the pre-industrial period, which indicates the “overwhelming influence of human influence on the climate and the urgent need to reduce emissions".
ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes associate investigator Dr Navid Constantinou explains his work as a physicist and geophysical fluid dynamicist.
Graduates with a strong background in hydrology, mathematics, physics, atmospheric science, climate science, engineering or similar quantitative sciences are particularly encouraged to apply.
