Wrapping up the year with a publication that I am really excited about. This was such a great collaboration experience. 👇 Drought and deluge: the recurrence of hydroclimate extremes during the past 600 years in eastern Australia’s NRM regions link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Silly me for thinking academics paying work expenses out-of-pocket was a thing of the past. What a thank you for volunteering multiple days of my time to be $200+ worse off 🙃 (ps. nothing to do with my employer who cover everything ❤️)

FYI: BoM declared El Nino & pIOD underway in September 2023. Sep 2023 was driest Sep on record & 2nd driest any-month on record for Aus (124 years of record) Oct 2023 was 5th driest Oct on record for Aus Aug-Oct 2023 driest Aug-Oct on record & driest any 3-month period on record

The Copernicus ECMWF team announce that 2023 was hottest on record, about 1.48°C above pre-industrial levels. "2023 was an exceptional year, with climate records tumbling like dominoes," says Dr Sam Burgess 🌍🌡🛰 Great graphics in this BBC article about the data: bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

It's cheaper to physically and permanently reduce emissions than to emit and let Earth suffer the consequences. The problem? We're simply not acting rationally. #AMOS2024 Mark Howden AMOS

we're not in a La Nina. We're in an El Nino, that's ending. It's too early to say that La Nina is developing or "taking hold". **IF** La Nina develops, there's no physical way that current warm ocean temperatures are a result of something that MIGHT happen in the future. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

On my way to #EGU24 🥳 If you are feeling extra keen on Monday morning, come visit my PICO on Australian droughts starting 8:30am

Very happy to see the first paper published by my PhD student Xinyue Zhang UNSW Climate Change Research Centre ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes. The good news is that less than 4% of drylands will desertify due to climate change (poor land use practices could still do it though) nature.com/articles/s4324…
