Weather needs to be put in a long term context to understand why cold weather extremes still happen as global warming also occurs.
The ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes is a Women in STEM Decadal Plan Champion
By bringing together researchers focussed on the large-scale modes of climate variability with researchers investigating weather and land surface processes, our goal is to improve the regional predictions of how rainfall extremes will change in the future.
At no time in Earth’s history, giant meteorites and super-volcanos aside, has our climate system been jolted by changes in atmospheric gas composition like what we are imposing today by our unabated burning of fossil fuels.
Australia may see more cold spells than normal in winter 2022.
Global warming is likely to lead to more intense rainfall because warmer air can hold more moisture.
Over 50 emerging climate scientists head to Canberra
Climate change is making the air ‘thirstier’, taking more water from trees by evaporation.
The “climate gamble” grows every year, but we still have time
What is climate science? Why does climate science matter? What does climate science tell us?
