What is detection and attribution?

Sep 28, 2023 | climateextremes.org.au | Climate Extremes

Detection determines whether a change in the climate is outside the historically expected range. Attribution investigates the causes of detected changes in the climate. We can use detection and attribution methods to understand our future risks. Detection and attribution science can be used to establish how anthropogenic climate change is impacting the climate.
Even Frozen Antarctica Is Being Walloped By Climate Extremes, Scientists Find

Climate change has shattered temperature records in Antarctica. As global temperatures rise, ice shelves are at risk of melting and collapsing.
Even Frozen Antarctica Is Being Walloped By Climate Extremes, Scientists Find

Even in Antarctica — one of the most remote and desolate places on Earth — scientists say they are finding shattered temperature records and an increase in the size and number of wacky weather events. The southernmost continent is not isolated from the extreme weather associated with human-caused climate change, according to a new paper in Frontiers in Environmental Science that tries to make a coherent picture of a place that has been a climate change oddball.
The UN leaves the GBR off the ‘in danger’ list again

Aug 4, 2023 | climateextremes.org.au | Joe Milton |Climate Extremes

By Dr Joe Milton, the Australian Science Media CentreUNESCO announced this week it will not add the Great Barrier Reef to its ‘List of World Heritage in Danger’ for now, mirroring a decision made by the UN body in 2017. The news comes despite a UN-backed report late last year recommending the reef be added to the list, and the confirmation of another mass coral bleaching event in March 2022.
A closer look at climate modelling

Aug 2, 2023 | climateextremes.org.au | Climate Extremes

We discuss three types of models: Weather Forecast Models, Physical Climate Models and Earth System Models in the context of:Resolution versus long simulationsProjections versus predictionsImplications of Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) or Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs)Ensemble projections compared to ensembles of opportunity. Weather Forecast Models use a very fine spatial grid – often around 25 km across Australia and around 1.5 km over the major cities.
