Understanding Australia’s rainfall
By bringing together researchers focussed on the large-scale modes of climate variability with researchers investigating weather and land surface processes, our goal is to improve the regional predictions of how rainfall extremes will change in the future.

A huge Atlantic ocean current is slowing down. If it collapses, La Niña could become the norm for Australia
At no time in Earth’s history, giant meteorites and super-volcanos aside, has our climate system been jolted by changes in atmospheric gas composition like what we are imposing today by our unabated burning of fossil fuels.

Why is it so cold right now? And how long will it last? A climate scientist explains
Australia may see more cold spells than normal in winter 2022.

Planetary waves, cut-off lows and blocking highs: what’s behind record floods across the Southern Hemisphere?
Global warming is likely to lead to more intense rainfall because warmer air can hold more moisture.
