Variability in urban land-use results in microclimatic variability across a city that is not picked up by government weather station networks. Crowdsourced weather stations can fill these gaps.
An international review of IPCC reports since 2001 has found that as the science has improved with each report, a trend has appeared showing climate related impacts like heatwaves, the collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet and coral bleaching are likely to occur at lower global mean temperatures than estimated in earlier reports.
New work published in Nature Communications develops a correction method that ensures the probability of climate extremes in the model simulations are consistent with real-world observations. In addition, it also corrects the rate of the long-term changes and the inter-annual variability so that it is consistent with observations.
The CLEX Career Development Award for Women and Underrepresented groups is offered every year to promote the leadership development amongst our women and other underrepresented groups within CLEX.
Graduate Director Melissa Hart describes the Homeward Bound training experience that took her to Antarctica and encourages other women in STEMM to take part.
