Fantastic to have contributed to #SOTC2020 (The Tropics) including leading the 2020 review of TC activity in the North/South Indian Ocean basins with @carl_schreck and contributing to the 2019/20 Southwest Pacific TC season summary with @DLorrey et al. Check it out below 👇🏾

[Andrew Magee @DrAndrewMagee]

The numbers are in... Nice to see TCO-SP successfully predicted a normal to below-normal 2020/21 SWP TC season. Island and regional-scale guidance also performed well. Detailed guidance to follow @DLorrey @TCoutlooks @CWCL_UON

Tune into ABC Radio Newcastle tomorrow morning ~7.15am to hear me chat with @CoxDan and @jen_marchant on our weakening La Niña and what might be in store for the months ahead.

[Andrew Magee @DrAndrewMagee]

Thanks @Uni_Newcastle for the story outlining the impact our new Long-Range Tropical Cyclone Outlook for the Southwest Pacific (TCO-SP) @TCoutlooks is having in Samoa.

@CWCL_UON PhD student Tuyen Luong presents at #AGU20 on the relationship between drought and mental health

[AGU's Eos @AGU_Eos]

Distress might lessen later on during drought, but some facets of poor mental health can persist long after relief efforts end.

Researchers identified climatic and geomorphic risk factors that led to record-breaking fires across Australia during the 2019–2020 fire season. Read all about recent research from @ProloyDeb et al. in @AGU_Eos https://t.co/7aZRusChAm

Awesome to have received the @Uni_Newcastle Faculty of Science Early Career Researcher Excellence award for 2020. A nice way to round off a crazy busy 2020.

Many thanks to all of my mentors and collaborators for their support and guidance! 👍🏽

Exciting new tropical cyclone forecast website @TCO_SP launched today by @CWCL_UON postdoc @DrAndrewMagee & @DLorrey @ICU_NIWA Details of the modelling behind the new forecasts was published at https://t.co/CCicabm34d

[Tropical Cyclone Outlooks @TCoutlooks]

How does @TCO_SP work?
➡️Monthly TC count updates (Jul-Jan)
➡️12 sub-regional and island-scale outlooks generated for the SW Pacific
➡️Deterministic (TC numbers) and probabilistic (chance of below, normal or above average activity) guidance
➡️Check out https://t.co/ZS6nytIP6t

[Andrew Magee @DrAndrewMagee]

Our paper, published this week, led by @kksveer, explores the variability of Pacific TC tracks over the past 70 years. Improving our understanding of how TC track morphology and Island-scale risk has changed with time 🌊💨⛈@KiddVerdon @UON_research @RMetS https://t.co/KBW3DCNIMm

[CWCL @CWCL_UON]

We asked rural residents what concerns them about climate change. They said the financial burden of extreme events, government policies (and lack of policies) and the causes of climate change https://t.co/YoM15QoOoy @crrmhnsw @EmmaK_Austin @UON_research

(1/4) Emma Austin has submitted her PhD thesis “Drought and wellbeing in Australian rural communities: Implications for improving adaptive capacity and resilience to drought.”

[CWCL @CWCL_UON]

(4/4) Congratulations @EmmaK_Austin!

[CWCL @CWCL_UON]

CWCL PhD Researcher @EmmaK_Austin received a scholarship from the Royal Society of New South Wales last week for her research into the relationship between drought and wellbeing in rural communities. Well done @EmmaK_Austin!

[CWCL @CWCL_UON]

Congratulations to @CWCL_UON PhD Researcher @EmmaK_Austin who has been awarded a scholarship from the Royal Society of NSW for her research about the wellbeing impacts of drought https://t.co/xA8dBDSJiq

Come check out my talk at @modsim2019 on revisiting the AS/NZS 1170.2:2011 standards for wind actions. 11:30 this morning in the Nicholls Theatrette #modsim2019 #extremewinds

[CWCL @CWCL_UON]

Do you use satellites to help you make decisions on water management?💧 If so, come and have a chat with Maki from @JAXA_en in the MODSIM2019 exhibition hall #modsim2019 @modsim2019
