At present, the most important strategy to avert such consequences would be investment in CO2 down-draw measures and the channeling water from flooded to desiccated regions, such as from northern Australia to the Murray-Darling basins

Rob Chadwick (Met Office UK) Future projections of tropical precipitation show large uncertainties at the regional scales relevant to climate change impacts. In order to narrow this uncertainty and produce robust, useable information for climate change adaptation, the mechanisms that drive regional precipitation change in the tropics must first be understood. In particular, the response... View Article

Coastal ecosystems such as seagrass beds and seaweed communities are facing rapidly changing ocean conditions due to ocean warming, ocean acidification and eutrophication. The three speakers will talk about different approaches to understand the effects that the projected future ocean conditions will have on seaweeds and seagrasses, including omics techniques and field and laboratory based...

Myles Allen (University of Oxford) Achieving Net Zero — Solving climate change without carbon taxes and with a little help of the fossil fuel industry
This lecture will outline the history of atmospheric temperatures in both the recent and distant past. Professor Huppert will explain the definite connection between the carbon dioxide and methane content of the atmosphere with the average global surface temperature. He will present a range of predictions of the Earth’s future climate, as well as practical... View Article
Craig Bishop (University of Melbourne) This seminar introduces the “replicate Earth” ensemble interpretation framework, based on theoretically derived statistical relationships between ensembles of perfect models (replicate Earths) and observations. We transform an ensemble of (imperfect) climate projections into an ensemble whose mean and variance have the same statistical relationship to observations as an ensemble of... View Article
