Climate Variability and Change
The Climate Variability and Change research group is active in researching past, present and future climates.
We use observations and climate models to explore climate variability, such as El Niño–Southern Oscillation. We also use climate models to investigate future climate change under a range of scenarios, including net-zero pathways as well as modelling past climates.
Group members run climate models such as ACCESS-ESM1.5, and we work closely with:
- National Environmental Science Program Climate Systems Hub
- Centre of Excellence for Weather of the 21st Century
- ACCESS NRI
Ask the Bureau: Why do we have different climates across Australia?
If you're travelling across Australia, you'll notice a huge variety in our terrain. This is because Australia covers a large range of climate zones. These are regions of the world that experience similar temperature and rainfall. This video explains the different climate zone.
