New projections show a clear trend towards more dangerous conditions for bushfires in Australia into the future, as well as increased pyroconvection risk factors for some regions of southern Australia.

New ESCC Hub research published in Nature Climate Change examines future high monthly mean temperature records that will be so extreme they will not have been experienced previously. It provides projections of the rate of extreme temperature record setting and record ‘smashing’ (when a record exceeds the previous record by a large amount) over the coming century.

Methane is the second most important greenhouse gas contributing to human-induced climate change. A new technique could restore methane concentrations to pre-industrial levels.

The impact of climate change and mango production were on the agenda at a recent workshop with mango industry representatives in Darwin.

The pattern of El Niño has changed dramatically in recent years, according to the first seasonal record distinguishing different types of El Niño events over the last 400 years.

A small pilot study looking at how local councils access and use climate change science in planning and decision making has identified the need for a simple guideline to help make the most of existing climate change information.

Realistically simulating rainfall, especially tropical rainfall, remains a significant challenge for national and international researchers when developing climate models. Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub researchers now have an improved understanding of how convection schemes within ACCESS work to improve the skill of our climate models in simulating tropical rainfall.
