WebinarsScience webinar: ‘TasLab Engage’: Industry engagement to identify climate sensitive decisions on multi-year timescales
In this webinar, Dr Carly Tozer (CSIRO) discusses the outcomes of the ‘TasLab Engage’ case study which collected valuable Tasmanian stakeholder information to contribute to the development of multi-year to decadal forecasts for Australia. Carly will discuss the stakeholder engagement process, key findings and new understandings about the decisions stakeholders make on annual to multi-year timescales that can be influenced by climate outcomes.

WebinarsScience webinar: Building partnerships for robust climate risk assessments – why, what, how, when?
In this webinar, ESCC Hub leader Professor David Karoly uses the Hub developed climate toolkit to provide an overview of why and what climate change information can be used for informing robust risk and impact assessments. David also discusses how and when to use climate information in decision making, using a number of current Hub case studies and engagements as examples.

WebinarsScience webinar: Understanding the impact of climate change on the Northern Territory mango industry
In this webinar, Mandy Hopkins (ESCC Hub) and Maddison Clonan (NT DPIR) talk about how an assessment of the climate change impacts on the NT mango industry was carried out, what they found, how it can inform the industry and how the assessment process can be applied to other commodities and sectors.

WebinarsScience webinar: Insights into Australia’s future climate from new global climate modelling
In this webinar, ESCC Hub researchers Dr Michael Grose and Sugata Narsey will summarise and highlight the Hub’s analysis and studies of the CMIP6 climate model simulations just released, with a focus on climate projections for Australia.
-
WebinarsScience webinar: Overview of the IPCC Special Report on the Oceans and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate
In this webinar, ESCC Hub researcher Professor Nathan Bindoff (University of Tasmania) summarises and highlights the significance of key findings from the IPCC Special Report on the Oceans and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate for the oceans and polar regions, and for Australia.
-
In this webinar, ESCC Hub researchers Eng. Joao Morim and Dr Andrew Marshall discuss the impacts of climate change and variability on wind-forced waves, to inform the next generation of Australian coastal climate projections towards improved coastal planning and management.
-
WebinarsScience webinar: Disentangling environmental and human drivers of carbon dioxide uptake and release on land
In this webinar, Dr Vanessa Haverd (CSIRO) provides an overview of the land carbon cycle, including the natural and human-induced sources and sinks. She also describes the role and performance of an Australian land-surface model, and presents results focusing on the contributions of carbon dioxide fertilisation versus land-use change to the net land carbon sink
-
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.
-
In this webinar, Dr Helen Phillips (University of Tasmania) introduces the ocean’s role in the climate system, and how it draws down heat from the atmosphere. She also discusses new understanding of the Leeuwin Current and South Australian Current systems, and their role in the global ocean circulation.
-
WebinarsScience webinar: Assessing future climate risks and adaptation options for Australian water systems
In this webinar, Michelle Ho from the CSIRO discusses how a robust (bottom-up) assessment approach known as ‘decision scaling’ can be used to assess future climate risks and adaptation options for a variety of water systems, including the lower Murray-Darling Basin.
-
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.
