This new approach makes it possible to study key characteristics of rainfall events in Australia and improves our understanding of heavy rainfall events.
Ocean fronts affect phytoplankton and marine food webs, including commercially important fisheries. As the ocean warms, any change in fronts could have considerable socio-economic impacts.
As the summer continues many of us are experiencing very hot temperatures. It is important to be prepared for extreme conditions which can lead to heat stress.
El Niño brings hot and dry weather to the eastern states, but what about the rest of Australia? Explore the impacts of El Niño with this new interactive map.
Researchers from the ARC centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes came together in one place to celebrate their scientific advances and plan for the future together.
The climate is enormously complex. We should see the first day 2°C warmer than the same day in the pre-industrial period as a stark warning – but not as a sign to give up.
Written by Laure Poncet Four scientists from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes have been named in the “Highly Cited Researchers” list for 2023. They are: This list, released on November 15, acknowledges a small fraction of researchers who made significant contributions to their fields of research. They represent only 1 in 1,000 researchers globally. Experts from the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) selected researchers, based on how often they were cited by their peers. The selection process... View Article
Understanding the science around extreme weather attribution and the complex issues associated with it.
What happens to eddies? Like atmospheric systems, these are effectively heat engines. They transport heat to new areas as they whirl in the ocean.
“Over a lot of places, hail-prone days have decreased, but in some places they have significantly increased."
