NewsRecord 2020 spring temperature across Australia virtually impossible without human-caused climate change
How do researchers assess whether record temperatures were caused by climate change? They use a process called ‘extreme event attribution’. And they’ve just run an analysis for the record-breaking temperatures set in 2020.

NewsJust how hot will it get this century? Latest climate models suggest it could be worse than we thought
Mathematical models are used to project the Earth’s future under a warming world, but a group of the latest models have included unexpectedly high values for “climate sensitivity”.

WebinarsScience webinar: Ensuring Australian climate model simulations inform global climate assessments
In this webinar, Dr Simon Marsland from CSIRO will introduce the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) design and experimental protocols, and present results from the ACCESS simulations of past, present and future global climate that are being processed for submission to CMIP6.

ESCC Hub research over the past three years under Project 2.2 used Australian-developed climate models, such as the Australian Community Climate and Earth-System Simulator (ACCESS) to investigate the role of the Pacific Ocean in global warming, and how changes in the South Pacific Ocean can impact the Tropical Pacific.

In this webinar, Dr Harun Rashid talks about building the ACCESS climate model, Hub research to improve the atmospheric model component of ACCESS, and preparation of ACCESS for submission to CMIP6. Research results from previous versions of ACCESS are also briefly outlined, to indicate the expected outcomes from the latest version of ACCESS.

NewsSomething in the air: how determining the composition of the Southern Ocean atmosphere will give us better climate projections
Aerosol and cloud data being collected in the Southern Ocean will help assess and improve climate modelling, improving our confidence in climate projections.
