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.

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.

What is net zero and what happens after we reach it? After net zero, the global average temperature is expected to roughly stabilise. Temperatures over land would begin to cool, while parts of the ocean continue to warm. Read our new briefing note here:

The submission aims to inform on the most recent developments in Antarctic research and offers five main recommendations for the committee to consider including:
Maintain Australia’s role as a world class research leader in Antarctica
Better support research on Antarctic sea ice

Why are ocean fronts important? In their new briefing note, @DrAmelieMeyer, Dr. Chris Aiken, @KaiYang_UTas and Laure Poncet explore the significance of ocean fronts for marine biodiversity, global fisheries and the regulation of Earth's climate system.

These equatorial and subtropical regions, where a decline in frontal activity has been observed, are important for fisheries. Continued ocean warming and a further decrease in fronts in these regions could pose significant challenges to local populations.
