In this webinar, Tony Rafter (CSIRO) outlines current understanding of historical tropical cyclone behaviour, recent trends in the Australian region and future trends. He demonstrates how a new interactive web tool developed through the ESCC Hub – the Tropical Cyclone Projections Portal – is helping us understand and communicate potential changes in tropical cyclone frequency and location in future climates.

In this webinar, Associate Professor David Kennedy discusses the current state of knowledge on beach and dune landform dynamics. He also draws on a range of examples from around Australia exploring the decadal timescales on which beaches operate and how this impacts coastal erosion management decisions.

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.

In this webinar, Professor Neil Holbrook discusses our understanding of ocean temperature extremes and marine heatwaves globally and regionally, including some of the more significant marine heatwave events observed around the world in recent years, their impacts and what caused them.
-
Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub researchers are working collaboratively with other research organisations to better understand how and why marine heatwaves are changing and their impacts on ecosystems and industries.
-
In this webinar, Dr Pandora Hope from the Bureau of Meteorology provides an overview of the latest extreme event attribution science, discusses results from a number of case studies across Australia and hints at where future research might lead.

Science webinar: The IPCC process and our changing oceans, ecosystems and human communities
In this seminar, Professor Nathan Bindoff from the University of Tasmania describes the IPCC processes and discusses some of the new and emerging research around our changing oceans.

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.
