India and Pakistan are both working to reduce heatwave impacts through plans that also focus on early warning of heatwaves and improved public communication of ways to find relief from heat.
The difference in results between the high-skill and low-skill CMIP6 models highlights an urgent need to examine why some models work well and some don’t, and, ultimately, improve those with weaknesses.
The world must pull together to create a future in which extreme events, and the damage they cause, remain relatively rare
The ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes is working to understand marine heatwave predictability.
Want to go to space? It could cost you.
Climate Extremes is leading research that will ultimately help businesses and governments better assess the risks posed by compound events.
The year 2021 saw a wide range of extreme weather and climate events impacting Australia.
At any one time, Earth’s atmosphere holds only about a week’s worth of rain. But rainfall and floods have devastated Australia’s eastern regions for weeks and more heavy rain is forecast. So where’s all this water coming from?
While the role of climate change is hard to pin down in Australia’s biggest floods, we know flooding often strikes our east coast. Building greater resilience to severe flooding would help lessen their impact.
Every little bit we do to limit carbon emissions might mean one less flood and one less person who has to rebuild.
