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.

The Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub’s PhD Affiliate Initiative provides opportunities for post-graduate students and early career researchers to engage with stakeholders and other researchers while developing science and stakeholder engagement skills. One of these opportunities was a science communicating workshop which explained the value of stakeholder engagement.
