The first annual workshop of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes (CLEX) will take place from November 18 – November 21 at Novotel Wollongong Northbeach. The workshop will discuss progress and plans in all research areas covered by the Centre, namely, climate variability; extreme rainfall; drought; and heatwaves in the climate system. The main form...

The workshop for graduate students and early career researchers will be held in Wollongong on 22 November 2018 - the day after the CLEX workshop.
Greg Holland A lot of attention has been given to the potential influence that climate change may have on tropical cyclone activity. But very little has been said about the way in which tropical cyclones influence climate. In this presentation, I will summarise the current understanding of tropical cyclone response to climate change, then move... View Article
Thomas will describe the challenges and opportunities in modelling dynamic decision making in integrated climate-economy systems. A particular focus will be on the role of interdisciplinary dialogue in conducting integrated assessment studies and on the acceptance of interdisciplinary research.
In this talk Dr Stephen Griffies will offer a sampling of the research questions confronting ocean scientists who make use of mathematics, physics, and computer simulations. Some of the questions touch upon the most difficult questions facing humanity in the 21st century.
Miranda Boettcher (Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies, Potsdam & Freie University Berlin). Cracking the Climate Engineering Governance Code. Description Calls for governance of the development of heterogeneous technological proposals for intentionally intervening into the global climate system, often collectively termed ‘climate engineering’ (CE), are currently picking up speed. However, so far there has been little empirical... View Article

Geoengineering is the technofix to climate change – a complex, contentious and high-stakes proposal that, in the absence of credible long-term global emissions reduction, cannot be overlooked. Anita's PhD project adopts a sustainability perspective within which scenarios are often used in the management of long-term, complex, and uncertain issues. It investigates how a scenario exercise...
