As these vital currents change, they will change the lives and livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people who live along the coasts of South Africa, Australia and Brazil.
Successive lean years caused by back-to-back La Niña events will hit both the survival rate and reproductive ability of these animals.
La Niña should serve as an "early and timely reminder for all to get storm-prepared"
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.
