Artificial reefs for coastal protection
December 10, 2024
We investigated the artificial reefs installed near Ramblers Road to understand why and how these projects have been successful in combating coastal erosion.

Understanding data inputs for a climate risk assessment
November 18, 2024
You will make more rapid progress exploring climate risk if you adopt a formal risk assessment method in the process and before you start collecting climate data.
Finding and selecting the right climate change information for your needs
November 18, 2024
This guide will help you find the best source of climate information to suit your needs whether you’re just exploring information, doing a climate risk assessment, or developing strategic policy.
Navigating climate portals
November 18, 2024
Accessibility and interpretation of climate data can vary between sources. Numerous sources of climate change data in Australia vary in presentation, coverage,
scale, and time periods. This guide helps users select the appropriate information for their needs.
Everything you need to know about the latest in climate modelling
November 18, 2024
Climate models are becoming more advanced and can simulate an increasing range of climate processes. These improvements are the result of having more observational data to calibrate the models, a better understanding of atmospheric processes and interactions, more sophisticated analytical techniques, and accelerating computer capabilities.
What made eastern Australia so wet from 2020 to 2022?
November 12, 2024
From 2020 to 2022, eastern Australia had much more rain than usual. In these years, three La Niña events occurred in a row, only the third occurrence of a triple La Niña since the 1950s. Under climate change, most models project a decline in winter-spring rainfall in southeastern Australia, and the influence of ENSO on rainfall is likely to strengthen. This would suggest increased drying during El Niño years but extreme La Niña-related rainfall may increase.
Will extreme wind events be more damaging in the future?
September 9, 2024
We often hear that as the world warms, extreme weather events will increase in frequency and/or intensity. But it’s hard to say how extreme wind events will change. This doesn’t make it easy for decision-makers considering the risks of extreme wind, so our researchers are working hard to provide useful insights to help.
ACCESS: Australia’s climate and earth system model
September 6, 2024
The data ACCESS provides can be used to predict climate and environmental changes, and to inform considerations of climate risk, mitigation pathways, carbon management, adaptation policy, and decision-making for Australia.
Will extreme rainfall events become more intense in the future?
August 26, 2024
Will extreme rainfall events become more intense in the future? Climate scientists expect extreme rainfall events to become more intense as the world warms, increasing the risk to many Australian communities already affected by flash flooding. Our researcher are finding out more about the risks of extreme rainfall that we are likely to experience.
The enablers of adaptation: A systematic review
June 6, 2024
Knowledge of the practice of climate change adaptation is slowly shifting from a focus on barriers and limits to an understanding of its enablers. Here…
