Dugongs and turtles are starving to death in Queensland seas – and La Niña’s floods are to blame
Successive lean years caused by back-to-back La Niña events will hit both the survival rate and reproductive ability of these animals.

Brace yourselves for yet more rain – BoM declares triple-dip La Niña
La Niña should serve as an “early and timely reminder for all to get storm-prepared”

La Niña, 3 years in a row: a climate scientist on what flood-weary Australians can expect this summer
We must prepare for a wet spring and possibly another wet summer to come.

The Southern Ocean absorbs more heat than any other ocean on Earth, and the impacts will be felt for generations
If the Southern Ocean continues to account for the vast majority of ocean heat uptake until 2100, we might see its heat content increase by as much as seven times more than what we have already seen up to today.

The world’s “new ocean” could have big impacts on how we manage climate change
Clouds are the missing part of the orchestra in climate modelling and predictions.

High impact compound events in Australia
Almost all catastrophic events are the consequence of multiple drivers acting together.

A climate scientist on the planet’s simultaneous disasters, from Pakistan’s horror floods to Europe’s record drought
With so many extreme weather events causing mass deaths and large economic and environmental problems, it’s worth considering whether climate change may be making these events worse.

PhD opportunity: Convection zones in Australia under climate change
This project seeks to better constrain convective zones in Australia and how they may be affected by climate change.

PhD Opportunity – Modelling warm climates of the Miocene and Oligocene
This PhD project will undertake coupled climate model simulations of the Oligocene and Miocene, using Australia’s state-of-the art community earth system model ACCESS-ESM1.5.

BOM has declared a 70% chance of a 3rd consecutive La Niña year
Despite the recent La Niña years, Prof Arblaster says the global temperatures in the 2020s have remained over 1°C warmer than the pre-industrial period, which indicates the “overwhelming influence of human influence on the climate and the urgent need to reduce emissions”.
