The ECR Committee has reviewed the feedback from the CLEX annual workshop and will be using that to inform an event at the AMOS/ICTMO National Conference in Darwin.
As the year draws to a close and we pause to look back over 2018, it’s not surprising that with the ending of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science (ARCCSS) on June 30 and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes (CLEX) building up a head of steam after its first full year, we have packed a lot into the past 12 months.
This year’s Centre of Excellence workshop at Wollongong, structured by a committee of Michael Reeder, Andy Hogg and Amelie Meyer, thoroughly broke with tradition and introduced some intriguing innovations.
This year ends on a high note with the announcement of a remarkable number of individual successes as we enter awards season, an impressive range of fundamental research that sets future directions for the Centre, a new citizen science weather app, and the hiring of a Knowledge Broker. We also hosted our annual workshop in Wollongong, which involved over 150 researchers and students.
