You are invited to join the ‘kick-off’ workshop for the CLEX Rainfall Extremes program. This is a one day meeting at UNSW on Thursday, October 4.
As human pressures on natural systems escalate, understanding and predicting the distribution biodiversity, now and into the future, has become increasingly important for managing marine systems. Biological data are usually sparse and patchy, yet managers need comprehensive information at broad spatial scales to make important decisions such as prioritising areas for conservation (e.g. Marine Protected...

this talk will address methods in which urban microclimatology can be employed as the key tool for a) understanding the pedestrian-/street-scale phenomena and processes, b) providing methodologies for climate-conscious design solutions, and c) informing accurate assessments of mesoscale climate.
Scott Power (Bureau of Meteorology) Overview Rainfall variability in the tropical Pacific caused by El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a major driver of climatic variability in Australia, as well as Asia, North and South America, Africa and over islands throughout the Indo-Pacific. Disruptions to rainfall patterns and intensity over the Pacific Ocean drives droughts, floods... View Article
Dáithí Stone National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, Wellington, New Zealand. Over the past couple of decades a large number of studies have diagnosed the contribution of emissions from human activities to observed climate trends, by confronting process-based expectations with long-term monitoring. Over the same period a much larger number of studies have diagnosed... View Article
