Research brief: How predictable are land-atmosphere fluxes in different ecosystems?
July 30, 2018 4:57 am Comments Off on Research brief: How predictable are land-atmosphere fluxes in different ecosystems?A new study by CLEX researchers using observations from FLUXNET sites identifies regions of high and low predictability and will likely help improve land surface model evaluation.
Research brief: Understanding the origin of ENSO diversity for improved forecasts
July 25, 2018 3:00 am Comments Off on Research brief: Understanding the origin of ENSO diversity for improved forecastsIt is hoped this proposed synthesis of two ENSO structures, their interaction with each other and how they respond to external forcing, will be the catalyst for future research and practical applications for forecasting and determining the impacts of present and future ENSO events.
Research brief: New technique to select best model subset for extreme projections
July 16, 2018 12:26 pm Comments Off on Research brief: New technique to select best model subset for extreme projectionsThis study highlights the importance of simulating global and regional warming responses correctly, to enable more accurate estimates of how the occurrence probability of climate extremes may change in a warming climate.
Research brief: Ecohydrological equilibrium approach improves modelling of LAI
July 16, 2018 6:44 am Comments Off on Research brief: Ecohydrological equilibrium approach improves modelling of LAINew research clearly demonstrates the potential to predict long-term LAI using simple ecohydrological theory. This approach could potentially be incorporated into existing terrestrial biosphere models and help improve predictions of LAI.

July 16, 2018 1:49 am Comments Off on Science Outreach Using Social Media: Oceanography from the Lab to the PublicOver four years, the Norwegian Polar Institute’s (NPI) Ocean and Sea Ice team used the social media handle @oceanseaicenpi across Instagram, Twitter and Facebook to communicate its research to peers and the public.
Kelp’s record journey exposes Antarctic ecosystems to change
July 15, 2018 1:00 am Comments Off on Kelp’s record journey exposes Antarctic ecosystems to changeWhen Chilean researcher Dr Erasmo Macaya from Universidad de Concepción and Centro IDEAL stumbled upon foreign kelp washed up on an Antarctic beach, he knew he had found something significant. Research by an international, multidisciplinary team of scientists reveals just how important that finding was.
