It was manifested by the interlinked Indo-Pacific influences of two components of El…
Predictability of Marine Heatwaves off Western Australia Using a Linear Inverse Model August 21, 2023 Marine heatwaves (MHWs) off Western Australia (110°–116°E, 22°–32°S; herein, WA MHWs) can cause devastating ecological impacts, as was evidenced by the 2011 extreme event. Previous…
Communicating extreme sea level estimates through Canute August 21, 2023 Our coastal environments and oceans are changing as a result of climate change. To adapt to future change there is an increasing need to understand…
Climate science informing adaptation solutions August 21, 2023 The Climate Systems Hub is an applied science partnership of Australia’s leading climate change research and decision-making agencies. Our research directly informs Australian decisions, policies…
Climate Adaptation Initiative August 18, 2023 The Climate Adaptation Initiative aspires to improve Australia’s adaptive capacity and resilience so we can thrive under climate change. Learn more about our climate adaptation…
Knowledge Brokering: Bridging the gap between climate science research and decision-making August 16, 2023 Knowledge brokers act as interpreters between the climate scientists and decision-makers, building partnerships to ensure research is co-designed and co-produced with the people that need…
Storylines of the Pilbara’s future climate August 10, 2023 The storyline approach uses narratives to explore the implications of climate change on particular decisions. Storylines can help distil the overwhelming amount of information available…
Linking ENSO to Synoptic Weather Systems in Eastern Australia August 8, 2023 El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the main driver of interannual east Australian rainfall variability, but its link with rain-producing synoptic weather systems is unclear. By…
Understanding our audience August 8, 2023 Hub project Synthesis communication and data aims to ensure information is accessible, useful and usable. To do this we need to understand our audience, what…
