25.01.2022 Congratulations to Peter van Rensch who had his PhD entitled "East Australian Spring Rainfall During Strong El Nino Events" conferred last Friday. His supervisors Ailie Gallant, Julie Arblaster, Wenju Cai and Neville Nicholls were equally delighted.

24.01.2022 Everything you wanted to know about clouds and climate change can be found in this new book edited by A Pier Siebesma, Sandrine Bony, our own Christian Jakob and Bjorn Stevens. You can get it here.

24.01.2022 Research led by Ram Patel finds mesoscale eddies have the capacity to change the nutrient content of waters that are exported from the Southern Ocean to lower latitudes.

23.01.2022 Do you know someone who is bored and stuck at home? They can help CLEX researchers Joelle Gergis & Linden Ashcroft fill in the blanks and open the door to Australia's climate history while sifting through some amazing old documents.

22.01.2022 New research from Monash University and BoM show coastal flooding due to sea-level rise will become an almost permanent fixture in Sydney if greenhouse gas emissions continue at their current rate.

22.01.2022 Hurricanes will intensify more quickly in a warmer world says new research by Martin Singh, Hamish Ramsay & Daniel Chavas bit.ly/36mJx2M

22.01.2022 Congratulations to former ARCCSS PhD student Elisabeth Vogel who has just been awarded Best Early Career Researcher Article published in ERL during 2019 for this impressive paper about extreme weather and climate change impacts on crops.

21.01.2022 Facebook's new settings mean we couldn't add this photo, which came later, to the original post. But this is how we congratulate a new PhD in the era of COVID and Zoom.

21.01.2022 New research in Nature Communications led by Giovanni Liguori finds 29%-53% of sea surface temperature variability is from external influences, mostly volcanoes. This means decadal temp estimates of global warming will remain uncertain despite long-term trends being predictable.

21.01.2022 Re-examining a Bureau of Meteorology pre-instrumental dataset of the 1888 Centennial drought, Mathilde Ritman and Linden Ashcroft found it was similar to the 2017/19 drought but not as bad as the 1982/83 drought.

19.01.2022 Our Director, Andy, responds to BoM's State of the Climate report on the Sydney Morning Herald. It isn't good news. "Professor Pitman said it was no longer possible to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees, but it may be possible to contain it to two degrees

19.01.2022 Our Graduate Director, Melissa Hart, offers her insight into how tertiary institutions can support students during the pandemic.

18.01.2022 Check out these climate stripes COVID masks designed by the folks at AMOS. You can get them now for $12.

18.01.2022 Our ECRs having a lunch between the CLEX ECR day online sessions.

18.01.2022 We’re offering a range of undergraduate climate research scholarships. Offers open till September 30.

17.01.2022 This CLEX briefing note follows a major climate sensitivity study led by our own Prof Steve Sherwood. Result: "The new assessment concludes that the climate is more sensitive to atmospheric carbon dioxide than some previous estimates. This means that significant reductions in global carbon dioxide emissions are needed over the coming decade to give a better-than-even chance of meeting the Paris Agreement’s 2C global warming limit."

16.01.2022 New paper in Hydrology and Earth Systems Sciences by Stefan Contractor, Lisa Alexander, Markus Donat and colleagues describes merger of two large global datasets to create the most detailed daily global precipitation record from 1950-2016. along with guidelines for its use. bit.ly/2MPPzRK

16.01.2022 Recently, we produced a short video about our researchers as part of a combined Centre of Excellence project, Q&ARC. These were all shot on mobile devices by the participants, Rishav Goyal, Stacey Hitchcock, Andy Hogg and Nina Ridder.

16.01.2022 A documentary of the 2016 Homeward Bound voyage to the Antarctic is showing at the Melbourne Fim Festival ($14 to stream) until Sunday. This is an annual voyage to Antarctica for women in STEM from all around the world. Our own Melissa Hart took part in the voyage in 2017.

16.01.2022 Congratulations to our own Jason Evans who has just been announced as a Fellow of Royal Society of NSW https://bit.ly/2Xtdqsy

15.01.2022 As storm season starts we need citizen scientists to help us collect data with the updated WeatheX app. Download it today.

11.01.2022 PhD student Kim Reid adds some commentary to an ABC report about two atmospheric rivers forming over Australia.

09.01.2022 Updated Severe Weather in a Changing Climate report by IAG Australia and NCAR references some CLEX research and finds climate change will result in more frequent and intense extreme weather events. https://bit.ly/3hjJRRR

08.01.2022 The degree of data uncertainty in drought indices indicates precipitation-only indexes have the greatest skill identifying drought. A new paper by led by David Hoffmann with Ailie Gallant and Julie Arblaster. bit.ly/32YqnOB

08.01.2022 Congratulations to American Meteorological Society (AMS) 2021 winners Dietmar Dommenget (Journal of Climate Editor's award), ARCCSS alumni Jackson Tan (Journal of Hydrometeorology Editor's Award), and regular BoM collaborator Blair Trewin (Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society Editor's Award). Also congrats to Matt Wheeler who has been made an AMS fellow.

07.01.2022 Congratulations to Jiale Lou a student with ARCCSS who submitted his thesis, South Pacific ocean climate dynamics and predictability, last week. Jiale was supervised by Neil Holbrook and Terry O’Kane

05.01.2022 Tune in at 11am to watch Prof Christian Jakob on Cimpatico TV being interviewed by ABC's Lee Constable on the subject of The Known Unknowns of Climate and Weather Science. Also streamed via Lee's Facebook page. Comment and press the thumbs up to keep Christian happy. https://bit.ly/3pJC314

05.01.2022 Where does Australia’s rain come from and how is it changing? These questions are answered in a fascinating paper led by Chiara Holgate.

04.01.2022 Who knew? Smart watches could save your life during extreme heat events and even lead to the re-design of our cities. Fascinating research in ERL by Negin Nazarian and colleagues.

02.01.2022 Congratulations to Associate Investigator Ben Henley who has been announced as a Tall Poppy in this year’s 2020 Victorian Young Tall Poppy Science Awards.

02.01.2022 A systematic assessment of IPCC reports by an international team, including our own Jason Evans, finds the risk of major climate change impacts will likely occur at lower temperatures than previously thought.

01.01.2022 New research led by Giovanni Di Vigilio finds prescribed burning days will increase or stay the same in NSW, Vic & SA due to climate change but the timing will shift. Only Qld will see them decline in number.
