The CLIPSSA 2021-2024 project. CLIPSSA (Climate of the Pacific, local knowledge and adaptation strategies ) is a joint project developed by IRD (Institut de Recherche pour le Développement), Météo-France (the French Meteorological Service) and AFD (Agence Française de Développement). It aims at accompanying Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Wallis-and-Futuna and French Polynesia, in drafting adaption plans against climate change threats. First, the project aims at building reliable estimates of the South Pacific regional future climates, at scales ranging from those of the... View Article

UMELB02: Convection and extreme rainfall characteristics using radar

March 30, 2021 10:32 am Published by Comments Off on UMELB02: Convection and extreme rainfall characteristics using radar

The accumulation of rainfall over a given area depends on a range of things, including duration, intensity, and propagation speed. It is the characteristics of convection that ultimately determine these rainfall properties. The idea for this project is to use a simple method to characterise the properties of the most intense convective / rainfall bearing systems from radar data.

It has been an unprecedented year in academia in 2020, a year where many people have been doing it tough in particular those of you in Victoria. The impact of COVID will take a long time to be fully realized of course, with impacts on our students, researchers, administration and technical teams that we could not anticipate.

Research brief: How dryness affects plant hydraulics in different systems

November 24, 2020 12:27 pm Published by Comments Off on Research brief: How dryness affects plant hydraulics in different systems

In this paper, the researchers investigated how dryness, represented by the aridity index, affects the inter-annual variability of ecosystem iso/anisohydricity at the regional scale, estimated using satellite microwave vegetation optical depth observations.
