The science behind climate extremes is fascinating and diverse.
Our experts love to share their work with the media, websites like The Conversation and here at climateextremes.org.au – here’s some of their latest articles.
Note: sometimes we also share work and articles from researchers and organisations not directly affiliated or funded by our Centre. We love to share interesting work done by others in our field. If you’d like to share or adapt our work, please get in touch – email clex@unsw.edu.au

Understanding the meteorological drivers of the Black Summer fire events using high resolution simulations
We used an atmospheric model from the Met office in the UK called the unified model to simulate one of the black summer bushfire events.

Understanding how groundwater dynamics impacts droughts and heatwaves using a land surface model
The presence of groundwater in forested areas reduces rainfall loss in wet periods and maintains soil moisture in dry periods.

Studying the ocean around Antarctica using ocean models
This study is an example how models help us to examine and understand how ocean currents behave and how they impact our environment.
