Meet our Early Career Researchers! After studying mechanical engineering in Iran, Maryam moved to Australia to pursue a PhD in urban climate. Her research focuses on assessing heat exposure in Australian cities using a human-centric approach. Full story: climateextremes.org.au/from-…

New study links local meteorology to coral bleaching events in the Great Barrier Reef. Lara Richards and her co-authors reveal that a collapse in trade winds played a crucial role in the 2022 mass bleaching event. Read more here: climateextremes.org.au/new-s…

Yesterday, our early career researchers attended a media training workshop at Stupid Old Studios. In a time when Australia faces growing challenges around climate, having strong climate science communicators is more important than ever.

Yesterday, Kim Reid and Ailie Gallant appeared at the Parliament of Victoria. They provided evidence to the Committee regarding the main risks climate change poses to Victoria's built environment and discussed measures to better prepare for future climate and weather extremes.

Sea ice is declining at an alarming rate in Antarctica. Last week, @DrAmelieMeyer and @dr_akmorrison appeared at the Australian Parliament and called for increased support for Antarctic research. Read the full story here: climateextremes.org.au/antar…

Meet our Early Career Researcher Denisse Fierro Arcos! After studying hotel management in Ecuador and conducting research on sharks in the Galápagos Islands, Denisse decided to pursue a PhD with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes and IMAS.

Meet our Early Career Researchers! After studying business, travelling the world, and launching a gelato business in Chile, Catherine Gregory's love for the ocean and science led her back to Australia, where she is now pursuing a PhD on the predictability of marine heatwaves.

Yesterday, Prof Lisa Alexander and Angela Kaplish represented the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes at the UNSW showcase held at the Parliament House. The showcase highlighted how UNSW’s research supports Australia’s policy priorities across various research areas.

Why was Australia very dry in November 2020 and wet in November 2021, despite both years featuring a La Niña? A team of researchers from @CSIRO and @ClimateExtremes found that these differences were linked to changes in the path of storms over Australia.

Dr @NeginNazarian has been awarded the 2024 NSW Young Tall Poppy Science Award in recognition of her research and outreach work in the field of urban climatology. Congrats Negin!
