The aim of this student project is to investigate the relationships between hydrological extremes (especially soil moisture drought) and wheat production in Australia. The outcome of the project may inform the development seasonal forecasts of hydrological indicators for agricultural production in Australia.
The aim of this student project is to investigate the effect of bias correction and downscaling methods on hydrological projections for Australia.
Speakers: Andy Pitman (CLEX), Lisa Alexander (CLEX), Greg Holland (Climate and Energy College), Seth Westra (University of Adelaide), Ryan Crompton (Risk Frontiers)
An international team, led by Australian researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes (CLEX) and the Institute for Marine and Antarctic (IMAS) studies, have published in Nature Communications the first global assessment of the major drivers of marine heatwaves.
The increase in frequency and intensity of ocean heatwaves over the past 30 years has had profound impacts on certain marine ecosystems and significantly impacted the industries that depend on them. According to new research in Nature Climate Change, marine heatwaves are now a clear and present threat to global biodiversity.
The meeting of ET-SCI is intended to begin the process of establishing a developers user group, produce a 10-year strategic plan for ClimPACT development, promotion, inclusion in the Climate Services Toolkit (CST), and develop the concept of demonstration workshop.
You are invited to join the ‘kick-off’ workshop for the CLEX Rainfall Extremes program. This is a one day meeting at UNSW on Thursday, October 4.
The past four months since out last newsletter has been tightly packed with the official launch of CLEX, the legacy event for ARCCSS and an acceleration in important research across all of our programs.
The Extreme Rainfall Research Program has put personnel in place and is working on research into how extreme rainfall is represented in models.
