Australia’s climate science is world class. With globally recognised researchers across multiple fields and organisations, we have the expertise needed to address questions about the impact of climate change on …

We’re proudly launching our landmark synthesis report, ‘Climate change in a land of extremes: Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub (2015-21).

The ESCC Hub has investigated how fire-generated thunderstorms, such as those experienced during the 2019/20 Black Summer fires, are formed, their current trends and how these trends may change under …

The ESCC Hub has conducted a range of research into our changing oceans and coasts, including topics such as marine heatwaves, sea level rise, ocean change, ocean observations, extreme sea …

As Earth’s climate continues to warm, global carbon budgets are playing an increasingly important role in informing mitigation policy responses around the world. We explain how they work and how …

We’ve co-produced climate research to better understand the reliability of farm dams and environment flow in the Wilyabrup Brook catchment of south-west Wester Australia. This will inform future water resource …

We’ve explored the key drivers of Australia’s variable and changing climate, and have used and improved our national climate model (ACCESS) to better understand these drivers and how our climate …

We’ve produced a report at the request of the National Climate Science Advisory Committee on a program of next-generation climate projections for Australia.

We’ve produced a report developed at the request of National Climate Science Advisory Committee to inform the strategic development of a national climate services capability for Australia.

New research into flash droughts and how they occur in Australia may help to allow warning of flash drought in advance.

We sat down with climate projections scientist Dr Michael Grose to hear what the Hub’s been up to since the latest CMIP6 models were released in late 2019.

We’ve filled a critical knowledge gap in coastal management by developing the first comprehensive guideline for nature-based methods for coastal protection specific to Australia

Here are 5 things you should know about the Hub’s work on drought and water futures over its lifespan of research.

New Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub explores changes to the frequency and intensity of extratropical cyclones under a warming climate, including resulting rainfall pattern changes.

Ocean observations, including those analysed by the ESCC Hub, are helping communities to prepare for climate change impacts in their local area.
