Dams, on average, are designed to last around 50-100 years.
@UNUniversity says many are operating beyond their life design and may need to be adapted to meet the demands of a changing climate. Resilient infrastructure investments save lives. 🌊

How many of my X people grew up in regional Australia? On my way to one such regional town (my own) to give some high school students some insights on what it’s like to have a career in science. Here’s to more scientists from the country 🙌 @ClimateExtremes @anuearthscience

Great article in The Guardian today about our recent @ClimateExtremes research into the potential for naturally-occurring megadroughts in Australia, with impacts of future droughts likely exacerbated by climate change.

Thought recent Australian droughts have been severe? New research suggests droughts could be much worse -even without climate change. Fantastic effort leading this study by @raindrop_herder and Nicky Wright

Responding to WMO’s state of the climate report, the Secretary General said climate action is being limited by national capacity in climate services, and “we need to increase support for National Meteorological and Hydrological Services”. abc.net.au/news/2024-03-20/w…
