Hub research is providing climate change information that can inform management and policy decisions in Northern Australia.

Jack Knowles from the Hub’s Stakeholder Advisory Group suggests that collaboration between researchers and the agriculture sector is essential to ensure the real-world utility of climate information and services.

Australia’s national climate model is an important tool for helping us to understand our past, current and future climate––but what exactly is ACCESS?

A new fire weather dataset will inform our understanding of the climate changes that are already occurring, and those still to come.

Global warming has already increased the risk of major disruptions to Pacific rainfall and will continue to do so over coming decades, even if global warming during the 21st century is restricted to 2℃.

While short-term weather patterns and the El Niño contributed to climate extremes in October 2015, climate records would have been substantially less likely to fall without human-induced climate change.

Global fossil fuel emissions have stalled over the past three years, but we need to accelerate deployment of existing technologies and develop new technologies and behaviours if we’re to keep global warming below 2℃.

The latest global methane budget reveals that methane concentrations are growing in the atmosphere faster than any time in the past 20 years.

After 27 years, Australia’s largest and longest running climate change science program has concluded, leaving a rich legacy of science and collaboration that the ESCC Hub is building on.

Chair of our Stakeholder Advisory Group, Nick Wood, believes that the time is ripe for Australian business to show effective engagement with climate research.

This year’s Global Carbon Budget found that, for the third year in a row, global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels and industry have barely grown, while the global economy has continued to grow strongly.

Climate projections from the early 1990s are showing themselves to be in line with observations, but natural climate variability influences our perception of reliability.

Climate projections provide important information to help make decisions about the future, but projecting what the climate is likely to look like in 10 or 100 years is a little different to predicting tomorrow’s weather.

Hub researchers have prepared comprehensive sea-level projections for all Australian coastal councils, including all mainland and Tasmanian councils and the Torres Strait Islands.

Our research into sea level, storm surges and waves will inform policy, planning and development decisions that will minimise the economic, environmental and human cost of coastal hazards.
