"Australia’s climate, already marked by extremes with bushfires, heatwaves,
storms and coastal flooding, is only set to worsen with the growing effects of
climate change.
Disasters like the Black Summer bushfires of 2019–20 and the 2022 eastern
Australian floods are likely to become more frequent and intense.
If carbon emissions continue at the current rate, climate change may make
Australia unbearable for future generations. It’s a confronting outlook, and we
need better tools to understand future impacts so we can adapt to them.
In our new research, published in the journal
Earth’s Future, we have
“downscaled” the latest global climate models to a 10-kilometre resolution
across Australia. Having such a high resolution significantly enhances current
global projections, with great improvements in projecting temperature,
precipitation and extreme weather patterns for Australia.
Our new dataset is very useful. It provides scientists, policymakers and
stakeholders with a valuable tool for comprehensively evaluating the potential
impacts of climate change across Australia."
