Seminar: Urban Climate Analysis – Understanding Microscale and Informing Mesoscale

Climate Change Research Centre (CCRC) 4th Floor, Matthews Building, UNSW, Kensington, NSW, Australia

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.

Webinar: The impact of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on rainfall in a warming world

NESP Webinar Online

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

Seminar: Making climate detection and attribution scientists redundant

Climate Change Research Centre (CCRC) 4th Floor, Matthews Building, UNSW, Kensington, NSW, Australia

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

Seminar: Loss of fixed nitrogen causes net oxygen gain in a warmer future ocean.

Climate Change Research Centre (CCRC) 4th Floor, Matthews Building, UNSW, Kensington, NSW, Australia

Andreas Oschlies (GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research). Oceanic anoxic events have been associated with warm climates in Earth history, and there are concerns that current ocean deoxygenation may eventually lead to anoxia. On the contrary, results of a multi-millennial global-warming simulation reveal, after a transitory deoxygenation, a marine oxygen inventory 6% higher than preindustrial... View Article

CLEX Annual Workshop 2018

Wollongong, Novotel Northbeach 2-14 Cliff Rd, North Wollongong, NSW, Australia

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...

CLEX ECR Workshop 2018

The workshop for graduate students and early career researchers will be held in Wollongong on 22 November 2018 - the day after the CLEX workshop.

Seminar: How Tropical Cyclones Influence, and are Influenced by Climate

Australian German Climate and Energy College Level 1, 187 Grattan St, Parkville, Victoria, Australia

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 S Lontzek: Integrated assessment of climate and economy

Climate Change Research Centre (CCRC) 4th Floor, Matthews Building, UNSW, Kensington, NSW, Australia

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.
