The Long-Term Future of Australian Drought conference, hosted by @Science_Academy and @ClimateExtremes, brought researchers together with industry and government stakeholders to develop science priorities to reduce uncertainty in future drought planning.

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

Postdoc in extreme weather events

Want to work on reanalyses of extreme weather events and how to translate them into warmer & cooler climates?

If only we had detailed information telling us the climate is changing far faster than any time in human history...
...and if only we had an unambiguous physical explanation for why those changes have occurred...
...then some politicians would still deny any problem exists.

This week the Aussie CLEX Drought group summarised our discoveries from the last 7yrs of research. Paper to come! @ClimateExtremes @jasonpeterevans @AnnaUkkola @ClimateNerilie @MengyuanMu @Nicola__Maher @Tess_J_Parker @SafariPenguin @raindrop_herder @zoegillett27 @anuearthscience

Huge thanks to the @HCEL_Ghent team @ugent for hosting me these last two weeks. So much fun discussing soil moisture, rainfall, @ClimateExtremes and of course, pet lions 😄

[Dr Georgy Falster @raindrop_herder]

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.

@julie_arblaster @AMacGlac @SafariPenguin @MonashEAE @Monash_Science Excellent to see Ailie!

[Chiara Holgate @hydroholgate]

@julie_arblaster @AndrewKingClim @Science_Academy So great to see Andrew, well deserved and keep it up. I do enjoy seeing the wisdom walking :)

[Corry Lab @CorryLab]

Thrilled to share our latest work together with the labs of Yixiao Zhang and @Charles_D_Cox, featuring our own @Riottowow & @Sitong_hst published today in @Nature. Our part done at @ANU_RSB_BSB using supercomputing at @NCInews #mechanosensation #biophysics

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

Resurfacing after deep dive into the state of the climate and Australia's climate policy. I lost a bit of skin with this one, but I hope it helps people see through the greenwashing and diversion tactics ahead of the next federal election. Out in June! https://t.co/cTqSnpIjhh

This week's PalaeoPERCS seminar given by yours truly, at the unusually Australia-friendly time of 8 am Sydney time.

featuring, of course, a) the tropical Pacific and b) water isotopes, because at this point what else would you expect from me

[Chiara Holgate @hydroholgate]

What a treat to be able to talk water, the Antarctic and Australia’s circular economy today with Senator @DavidPocock, @dataforwisdom and Dan Yunana as part of #SMP2024.

#SMP2024 Professor Fiona Johnston passionately urging Australia to intensify its R&D efforts. If not, the Australian people will lose out. Pretty simple.

Science Meets Parliament 2024! Working mum - under slept, wet hair, but will we smash out some excellent science today? Yes we will. (Lucky I have my fellow #SuperstarsofSTEM here!) #SMP2024 @ScienceAU @scienceANU
