Seems apt that I’ve overshot Earth Overshoot Day… 1 August is the day that humanity uses up more than the Earth can regenerate in a calendar year. (if the planet lived like Australia, it would be several months earlier: more like 1 April) wwfcee.org/news/earth-ove…

TWO EXCITING POSTDOC POSITIONS Translating extreme weather events into different climates: jobs.reading.ac.uk/Job/JobDetail?… Improving climate observation datasets across UK & Ireland: jobs.reading.ac.uk/Job/JobDetail?… DEADLINE: 21st August

In this masterclass, Linden Ashcroft will explore the good, bad and ugly of Australia’s weather history, and explain how we can prepare for a hotter and more extreme future. Tap to register ➡️ festival.science.unimelb.edu.au/science-festiv…

We now have around 350,000 images of daily rainfall observations taken between 1870 and 1960 from 1000s of sites around the UK. More than 100 million measurements. Very few are already digitised as usable data. This is a huge AI/ML challenge. Anyone want to help?

Widespread winter warmth across Australia. Yesterday most of the continent had maximum temperatures at least 4°C above normal.

This year, our Science Festival Masterclasses went to the chemistry labs, a zoology museum, Bureau of Meteorology, Victoria's historical weather library and more. Tap to catch up on the Masterclasses online ➡️ unimelb.me/4dHTnvV Linden Ashcroft Leung Research Group Tyrone Lavery🌴

Stupendous 935 hPa low pressure system south of Australia.

Join us in Sydney Oct 16-17 for the UNSW Institute for Climate Risk and Response 2024 conference! We have an ECR day and an exciting industry forum. I'm moderating a session in the forum on climate risk in the insurance sector. Info and registration: eventbrite.com.au/e/institute-fo…

The heat currently affecting northwestern Australia is exceptional for this time of year. #Broome just broke its August maximum temperature record two days in a row. Weather observations at Broome extend back to 1897. More details: weatherzone.com.au/news/backtobac…

🚨 We’re thrilled to be launching an exciting new series of our podcast, ‘Listen To This If...’. Jen and Michael will deliver a speedy, five-minute Friday fix packed with practical hot tips to tackle your toughest science communication challenges. Our trailer drops tomorrow 🤩
