Is there a link between heatwaves on land and heatwaves in the ocean?

Heatwaves in the ocean are having major impacts on heatwaves on land.
The oceans’ biology and chemistry influence the climate because ocean, atmospheric and land processes are all interconnected.
We have understood the solution for decades. We must reduce emissions to net zero to stop warming Earth.
Our atmosphere, oceans and lands are constantly interacting with each other.
We’re in a race, and the stakes are as high as they could possibly be – ensuring a liveable climate for our children and for nature.

We experience the weather and climate directly, by our lived experience. What matters more is the big picture we are seeing.
"It is unambiguous that climate is changing due to human activity – specifically the emissions of greenhouse gases. These are increasing the risk of some extreme events.”
Numerical models of the weather and climate system are key research tools in gaining a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that generate climate extremes. They are also our primary tool in assessing how these extremes may be affected as our planet warms. The Modelling research program at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes is therefore an underpinning and enabling activity that develops improved simulations, tools and procedures for use in all research programs across the Centre.

The ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes’ Ocean Extremes research program published a range of groundbreaking research keenly focused on our three research projects and the program continued significant interactions with policymakers and industry in 2022. We have had a number of striking papers published. Some, like the paper that explored a massive phytoplankton bloom in the South Pacific, generated significant media coverage, while others had smaller media impact but a profound impact on our understanding of ocean processes....
