Excited to feature in the highlights reel of Day 1 of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes Winter School! It’s been a blast so far and can’t wait to see what comes next tomorrow!

A very special opportunity for our Winter School students to see how groundbreaking science is conducted on the RV Investigator.

Students at our Winter School had the great opportunity to see how ice core research is undertaken at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies in Hobart.

Hello Australia - it is #ShowYourStripes day! Your climate is warming rapidly, mainly due to burning fossil fuels. This is not good news for your amazing coral reefs. Perhaps you would like to start a climate conversation with a friend today about this? ShowYourStripes.info

BREAKING: the White Cliffs of Dover have been illuminated with the UK 'warming stripes' for #ShowYourStripes day! These stripes represent the UK average temperature from 1884 to 2022 with blue colours for colder years and red colours for hotter years. ShowYourStripes.info

Climate science brings together a wide range of specialties and disciplines - so our Winter School gives students the chance to collaborate and learn from each other. Topics have covered paleoclimate, remote sensing, the atmosphere, land observations, machine learning and more.

From sailors hauling up buckets of seawater to the amazing technology behind BGC-Argo Floats - our students have today been learning about ocean observations.

Amazing tech: At Winter School we got to see a BGC-Argo float: devices dropped into the ocean to measure physical and biogeochemical properties. The floats can adjust their buoyancy to move up and down through the upper 2,000 m of the ocean every 10 days: buff.ly/3WtNz18

Some of our students share what they learned from our 2023 Winter School in Hobart. See the full video here: youtube.com/watch?v=iv_aw3…

What does the declaration of an El Niño mean for Australia? Our researchers explain: buff.ly/43dc4kY

University of Melbourne researcher Ruby Lieber joined Channel 7's Weekend Sunrise to explain the likely declaration of an El Niño and what that means for Australia (Thanks to Weekend Sunrise for supporting emerging scientists - see the full interview on 7Plus).

On anticyclones: “Two effects happen: it allows radiation from the sun to come in which is absorbed by the Earth and re-emitted – and that’s what heats the atmosphere. Also, you get lots of sinking air come down the centre, which also warms the local area” buff.ly/3Okqr2Q

“All the evidence points to worsening bushfire conditions in the decades ahead due to greenhouse gas emissions causing climate change,” A/Prof. Perkins-Kirkpatrick says. buff.ly/3pNkQZD

What does IPCC say about extremes? Heatwaves have become more frequent & more intense across most regions. Human influence has increased frequency of fire weather in some regions. Some recent hot extremes would have been extremely unlikely to occur without human influence.

Super keen to be part of this event at the Powerhouse on Thursday 🌏Hope to see you there! (Free) tickets 👉 ma.as/cmc

1. Global warming will continue until we reach net-zero. 2. The climate consequences will keep getting worse until we reach net-zero. 3. After reaching net-zero we will have to live and suffer in a warmer world for generations. Do we act now or delay further?

Such a fun (and challenging) panel. Thanks Tim Raupach for inviting me! Keen to keep learning tomorrow ⛈️

It was so much fun to try out #radio with Boiling Point ! Massive thanks to Hannah Dawson and @InnaOsmol for being the most wonderful hosts!

Huge congratulations to Isabelle Greco who won the Catastrophe and Risk Symposium research award for 2024. For their Master's work Isabelle developed a Bayesian framework to probabilistically link radar measurements to surface hail. Prize details at cars2024.org.
