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).

What does the declaration of an El Niño mean for Australia? Our researchers explain: https://t.co/YAvLgiRsIV

"Most climate models tell us that the influence of El Niño on Australia’s climate is likely to become stronger as the world continues to warm" https://t.co/YAvLgiRsIV

Some of our students share what they learned from our 2023 Winter School in Hobart. See the full video here: https://t.co/Oh6TYlTDcY

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: https://t.co/dJwuWhyEaf

Is me. Talking about our @ClimateExtremes researcher development program.

A program that integrates breadth of knowledge, impact, influence, and collegiality, all on a foundation of in-depth research training.

Our Winter Schools are the cornerstone of this.

It's the final day of our Winter School in Hobart! Associate Professor Melissa Hart explains what our students have been up to this week.

[ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes @ClimateExtremes]

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

[ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes @ClimateExtremes]

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.

Excited to feature in the highlights reel of Day 1 of the @ClimateExtremes Winter School! It’s been a blast so far and can’t wait to see what comes next tomorrow!

[ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes @ClimateExtremes]

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

[ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes @ClimateExtremes]

...and this is just Day 1 of our Winter School for 2023!

[ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes @ClimateExtremes]

Our Winter School for 2023 is underway in Hobart! Today we're learning about the paleoclimate.

These laws have finally come into effect! Legal/policy change is often a long game (I started on this work 2 jobs ago!). Well done to all the consumer advocates who made this happen: https://t.co/qV9fXnXOJg

@kjreid95 @ChristelvanEck @SciPublic Interesting read! Mirrors a lot of my experiences!

[Jonathan Brown @JB_MediaAU]

Talk about your work with confidence!

You don't "seek to" do things - you *do* them!

You don't "aim to" influence Government, industry, etc - you *do* influence them.

Cut these words out wherever you can and state with confidence what you do.

[Jonathan Brown @JB_MediaAU]

@orangewastaken Praise well deserved 😁

[ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes @ClimateExtremes]

We're a little more hopeful than that @charliepick @theweeklytv 😅 - @kjreid95 and her colleagues are working hard to avoid us needing that scenario!

"To our surprise, we found that heatwaves in the ocean really boosted the number of heatwaves on nearby land. Even if you are 150km away from the coast, the heatwaves on land were affected by heatwaves in the ocean" https://t.co/i12vbab0T6
