After some well deserved (and in many cases long overdue) summer holidays the Centre has seen a rapid ramp up of research in the last couple of months. Cross research program collaboration has intensified, focussed on improving our modelling systems, using our models to examine key phenomenon and in particularly how we can improve the representation of extreme events.
The annual report is finalised, we welcome new students to our nodes, launch an advanced ocean modelling school and offer a CLEx Career Development Award for Women and Underrepresented Groups valued at $10,000.
The CMS team reports on a range of updates to ACCESS, NU-WRF (CABLE coupled to WRF), CMIP6 data, ERA5 datasets and more.
Graduate Director Melissa Hart gives a high level overview of the CLEX Research Development Program.
Ian Macadam explains what a knowledge broker does and reports on a WeatheX workshop and recent meetings between CLEx and external stakeholders.
If you need to create an academic poster in a hurry, we have a nice template here that can cut it down to an hour and still be effective. Also check out Kim Reid's new PhD blog and find out about the recent combined Centre of Excellence media workshop.
The past four months have seen Extreme Rainfall researchers win a slew of awards and produce some important foundational research on storms, hybrid cyclones, and some unexpected influences on extreme rainfall events.
AMOS awards, international visitors, cross program research with the drought team, and multiple papers have made it a busy time for the Heatwaves and Cold Air Outbreaks Research Program.
New students, an OA for Andy Pitman and some key work on evaporation, the impacts of mesophyll conductance on plant growth, a new algorithm for photosynthesis and future projections of drought made for a strong start to 2019.
The Climate Variability and Teleconnections team welcomed new members, celebrated a range of triumphs and explored questions about Antarctic sea ice extent, ocean heat transfer, ENSO and the Tropical Observing System.
