Climate and weather modelling, and impact research at CSIRO
Atmospheric Research
The research activities of the Climate and Weather: Applications
and Impacts team at CSIRO Atmospheric Research spans climate variability
and extremes, weather forecasting, seasonal forecasting, global and regional
climate change modelling, regional climate change assessment and impact
and adaptation assessment.
The seminar will present highlights of recent research from
these areas, focusing particularly on the climate impacts and adaptation
area. This will include state and regional projected climate change, risk
approaches to impact and adaptation assessment, and the issue of defining
dangerous climate change. New research opportunities for CMAR will be
discussed.
