    Research Brief: Calculating the contribution of an individual to making extreme weather events more likely

    This paper focuses on a case study to provide a methodology for how the costs associated with an extreme weather event may be shared between citizens and envisage how such a system could look in future.

  • Research Brief: Regional variations in projections of recent changes in the western boundary currents

    Research Brief: Regional variations in projections of recent changes in the western boundary currents

    Strong ocean currents are found on the western side of the ocean basins, which flow from the tropics toward the poles in both hemispheres. These western boundary currents have shown strong changes in the last few decades, resulting in intensified ocean warming and are projected to amplify further in the future.

  • Research brief: Measuring spread in spatio-temporal changes of ocean heat content estimates

    Research brief: Measuring spread in spatio-temporal changes of ocean heat content estimates

    90% of the heat trapped on Earth by anthropogenic greenhouse gasses is absorbed by the ocean, with the unfortunate by-product of thermosteric sea level rise – as the ocean warms, it expands. Therefore, it is essential that we can accurately measure how much heat the ocean is absorbing over time.

    Research Brief: The impact of climate change on future photovoltaic power potential in Australia

    This study assesses long-term changes in Australia’s future photovoltaic potential and the effects of projected changes in our climate on PV power generation capacity for the near and far-future periods.

  • Research Brief: Seasonal and Interannual Variability of the Weddell Gyre

    Research Brief: Seasonal and Interannual Variability of the Weddell Gyre

    The Weddell Gyre, located east of the Antarctic Peninsula, is one of the largest features of the ocean circulation of the Southern Hemisphere. A deeper understanding of the dynamics in this remote region will shed light on the role of the gyre in our present climate and help us understand its potential evolution with climate change.

    Research brief: Ekman Streamfunction a strong indicator of overturning circulation strength & variability

    CLEX researchers used a state-of-the-art global ocean-sea-ice model to directly measure the overturning circulation, and through this to examine the relationship between the Ekman Streamfunction and the Southern Ocean overturning circulation.

    Research brief: New comprehensive review of Indian Ocean systems and interactions

    This review brings together a new understanding of the ocean-atmosphere system in the Indian Ocean since the last comprehensive review, describing the Indian Ocean circulation patterns, air-sea interactions and climate variability.

    Research brief: The path to a sustainable future using marine-based mitigation measures

    In this paper, as part of the Future Seas project, the researchers built upon previous work by using a foresighting scenario analysis technique to envision two alternative possible futures for society by 2030, in the context of the challenge of climate change adaptation and mitigation.

    Research brief: Why the 2020 La Nina didn’t lead to a wet Spring in SE Australia

    During the 2020 La Nina, many areas of Australia received near average to severely below-average rainfall, particularly during November. CLEX researchers found that several compounding factors contributed to the drier-than anticipated spring conditions.
