Steven's investigation into drought started as a six-week project and ended up becoming two years of research, conference presentations and more – and that was before he even graduated.
The ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes (CLEX) invites applications from talented Graphic Designers to join their team. The Graphic Designer will be producing graphics and visual aids to assist in communicating the centre's research to the public, schools, businesses and government.
Australia researchers are calling on storm chasers and members of the general public fascinated by severe weather to take part in a citizen science project that will help better capture the occurrence of extreme weather events and improve our ability to forecast them.
A new paper by Martin Jucker and colleagues reveals the choice of a particular convection-resolving model (CRM) has a much larger impact on the results than increasing resolution. It also suggests the behaviour of CRMs is tied to model internals instead of the phenomena they are trying to reproduce.
PhD opportunities are now available to work on projects jointly supervised across the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes (CLEX) and Bureau of Meteorology. Candidates will be enrolled in one of the CLEX universities and spend significant time at the Bureau of Meteorology. This will allow the student to experience both the University academic and the publicly funded research agency environment.
From November 13-December 17, 2019, Sonny Truong took part in an observational voyage aboard the RV Investigator 30kms off the coast of Darwin. It was a voyage that featured some firsts for this atmospheric scientists and resulted in some great research and a spectacular time-lapse video of a storm forming and dissipating out to sea.
A new study with Centre of Excellence researchers warns that changes in springtime winds high above the South Pole could trigger higher than usual heat waves and fire-prone weather conditions in Australia.
Anna Malos (Climate Works Australia), John Connor (Carbon Market Institute), Irwin Jackson (Investor Group on Climate Change), Chloe Monro (Monash University). ‘The gap is larger than ever’ according to the United In Science report published earlier this year. The current national emissions reduction targets set under the Paris Agreement needs to be increased fivefold to maintain the temperature rise below 1.5°C – a widely accepted goal that would avoid potentially irreversible consequences of climate change. The lack of progress achieved in the... View Article

Some unique experiments using particle image velocimetry of high Reynolds number wall-bounded flows – Julio Soria (Monash University) Over the last 30 years flow visualisation has evolved from qualitative to quantitative and in many circumstances is replacing more traditional flow measurement techniques. In concert over a much longer period has been the investigation of turbulent wall-bounded flows because of their eminence in all forms of transport as well as geophysical flows. In any experimental investigation of turbulence wall-bounded flows high... View Article
