The Postdoctoral Research Associate will work on a new ARC-funded project exploring how vulnerable Australia’s eucalypts are to future droughts. This project will combine data-synthesis, experimental manipulation and modelling to deliver new process-orientated insight into the response of eucalyptus trees to projected changes in the frequency, magnitude and duration of future droughts across Australia.

Nova pesquisa desvendou que a seca severa que ocorreu no sudeste do Brasil no verão de 2013/14 associada a calor extremo tem uma causa comum, um evento climático distante que ocorreu no Oceano Índico. O estudo liderado pela professora da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina Dra. Regina R. Rodrigues com colaboração de pesquisadores do Centro de Excelência em Extremos Climáticos (CLEX) da Austrália e NOAA dos EUA, sugere que não é a primeira vez que o Oceano Índico levou a...

Un nuevo estudio científico ha demostrado que la secuencia de eventos climáticos en Sudamérica en 2013/14 que incluyó sequía y olas de calor terrestres y marinas se originó a partir de un fenómeno climático en el lado opuesto del mundo –en el Océano Índico. Los resultados del estudio que fueron publicados en Nature Geoscience por un grupo internacional de científicos de la Universidad Federal de Santa Catarina en Brasil, del ARC Centro de Excelencia de Extremos Climáticos en Australia y...

Project A: Mixed-phase Clouds and Precipitation Processes over the Southern Ocean Main Supervisor: Dr Yi Huang (The University of Melbourne) Co-supervisor: Dr Robyn Schofield (The University of Melbourne) Co-supervisor: Prof Steven Siems (Monash University) This project will involve collaboration with the Australian Bureau of Meteorology and the UK Met Office. Clouds and precipitation over the Southern Ocean (SO) remain poorly understood and a major barrier to improving the representation of a coupled climate system. This limits our ability to forecast...
