SUMMARY:Building partnerships for robust climate risk assessments: why\, what\, how?
DESCRIPTION:Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub science webinar: Building partnerships for robust climate risk assessments: why\, what\, how and when?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nClimate change information and services are increasingly recognised as important inputs into risk assessments\, policy processes\, planning and management strategies and financial disclosures by decision makers across Australian sectors including ecosystem management\, agriculture and horticulture\, water resource and energy management and the financial services sector. \nThe Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub has been working with its stakeholders to better understand their climate information needs. Feedback from our stakeholders indicates that there is still a lot of stakeholder uncertainty about how the climate system works\, how the climate is changing and what climate change projections actually tell us. This means that existing climate change information and tools are not being readily accessed\, understood and applied to inform decision and policy making. \nThe Hub is therefore developing a climate change information toolkit to build both understanding of climate change and capability for using climate change information for decision making. The toolkit provides stakeholders with a better understanding of the climate system and the confidence to find and use climate change information to inform decisions. The development of the toolkit is being informed by participant feedback from pilot workshops around the country\, with over ten workshops held with various stakeholder groups to date. \nIn this webinar\, ESCC Hub leader Professor David Karoly will use the toolkit developed by the Hub to provide an overview of why and what climate change information can be used for informing robust risk and impact assessments. David will also discuss how and when to use climate information in decision making\, using a number of current Hub case studies and engagements as examples. \nDownload the webinar flyer \n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:VicWaCI - Hydrologic shift during and after the Millennium drought: explanatory factors and changes in subsurface storage and flow regime.
DESCRIPTION:Catchment hydrologic response to rainfall has changed since the start of the Millennium drought\, and in many cases has not returned to the pre-drought state. In 2010–2016\, following the end of the drought\, the average annual rainfall was close to the pre-drought norm across our study catchments\, yet streamflow deficits were still ~-21% on average. This was a direct consequence of drought-induced shift in catchment behaviour. A simultaneous assessment of a large range of factors representing climate\, vegetation\, soils\, groundwater\, and human impacts allows us to identify the factors related to streamflow anomalies during and since the drought. A complimentary analysis of low flow and cease-to-flow conditions demonstrates widespread changes in catchment storage and transition of many Victorian catchments towards a higher degree of flow intermittency. \nDr Margarita Saft is a Research Fellow in the Department of Infrastructure Engineering at the University of Melbourne. Her research focuses on shifts in rainfall-runoff response associated with long droughts\, long-term changes in catchment functioning and its implications for hydrological modelling\, and impact of subsurface processes on runoff generation. She received her PhD from the University of Melbourne in 2017\, where she investigated the changes in hydrologic behaviour during multi-year droughts in South-Eastern Australia. \nLink to the webinar and iCalendar reminder can be found here. \n

SUMMARY:Navigating the new Agriculture Victoria soil moisture monitoring website
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, Dale Boyd will provide a explanation and walk-through of the new Agriculture Victoria soil moisture monitoring website. \nThis will include navigating the website to highlight the features now available including easier access and the improved search function allowing users to distinguish between crop types being monitored and soil types and locations – all which influence soil moisture data. \nDale will share his knowledge in soil moisture information and how the dashboard is an important tool for farmers experiencing increasingly variable climatic conditions\, specifically rainfall to make informed seasonal risk decisions. \nDale Boyd is a seasonal risk agronomist in the grains team with Agriculture Victoria based out of Echuca. He has worked with the department for 20 years and during that time has worked on a range of projects linked to monitoring soil moisture\, irrigated cropping\, and the current seasonal risk work. This work is a state-wide technology adoption project that uses deep soil moisture probe and weather station networks. \nDale helps Victorian dryland grain farmers and advisors interpret seasonal risk information to aid decision making using soil moisture probes recording data down to one metre. The data obtained from the moisture probes is interpreted and presented in monthly enewsletter updates which aims to be educational on the use of technology and informative on the seasonal conditions. \nRegister for the event here. \nDiscover the new soil moisture monitoring site at https://extensionaus.com.au/soilmoisturemonitoring/

SUMMARY:SA Climate Ready Regions Climate Change Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is affecting us all.  It requires everyone in our community to act – including individuals\, businesses\, community groups\, and all levels of government and to vigilantly work together to strengthen our resilience\, and leverage  advantages to harness opportunities from the transition economy. \nDuring our planning we never imagined the world that we now face and due to COVID-19 the Inaugural SA Climate Ready Regions Conference was cancelled but the messages for the speakers are just as important. In its place are webinars that provide information from across Australia. \nThis webinar will focus on community\, business and corporate responses as the stakes are massive and uncertainties severe and impacts devastating. Our interactions with environmental and non‐environmental issues come from varying levels. New ways of problem‐solving are evolving and the interlinking of thinking across corporate business and community can be complex. This webinar will provide some tangible examples and information around the integration of thinking and actioning. \nWebinar 1: Integrating and amplifying sustainability and resilience: A community-business framework for collaboration\, learning\, innovation and action \nPresenter: Mark Robinson Townsville City Council QLD Coordinator – Environmental Systems\, Sustainability Solutions and Solar Cities \nWebinar 2: What does the corporate response to climate change mean for climate ready regions? \nPresenter: Dr Mark Siebentritt Director and General Manager\, South Australia Edge Environment \n< Click here to download an info sheet \nPlease note: the times on the info sheet are Adelaide time. If tuning in from Victoria you will have to log on half an hour earlier at 3:00pm

SUMMARY:COVID-19 and Climate Change - Event 1: Parallels and disconnects
DESCRIPTION:Recent months have seen the COVID-19 pandemic emerge as a global crisis requiring immediate\, wide-spread and evidence-based action. \nAs countries have taken drastic measures to curb the spread of the virus\, comparisons have arisen between the global response to COVID-19 and climate change. Despite their fundamental differences\, they are both significant global challenges that require immediate action based upon scientific evidence. \nSo how and why have our responses differed\, and what can we learn from the handling of COVID-19 to apply to our response to climate change? \nJoin us for this new online event series\, COVID-19 and Climate Change\, to discuss these questions and more with leading researchers in the area. \n  \nEvent 1 – COVID-19 and Climate Change:  Parallels and disconnects \n12pm Thursday\, 11 June \nSpeaker: Prof Mark Howden \nAn introductory discussion about the parallels and disconnects between our understanding and responses to COVID-19 and climate change\, featuring leading climate scientist\, Prof Mark Howden. Mark will introduce the series and discuss attitudes to the science and the requirements for transformational change. \nRegistration TBC \nClick here closer to the date to register

SUMMARY:Webinar - Insights into Australia’s future climate from new global climate modelling
DESCRIPTION:Global climate models are one of our key tools for understanding the climate system and for projecting likely changes to our future climate. Climate models are constantly being developed to simulate the world with more realism and to include more components of the Earth system\, such as cloud cover\, sea ice and convection. \nEvery six to seven years new climate model simulations from across the world are submitted to the international Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP). This project ensures the climate model simulations are standardised\, comparable and publicly available for use by the global research community to investigate the past\, present and future climate\, and for use in global assessments\, such as reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). \nResults from the current round of cutting-edge global climate models under the sixth phase of CMIP (CMIP6) are hot off the press. These models will be assessed in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report next year and will be an important new resource for Australian climate research and services for the coming years. So\, what do they say for Australia? \nThe Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub has a key role in assessing the new model simulations from CMIP6 and planning how Australia can make best use of them for climate projections of our region. Researchers under the Hub have already begun to analyse the modelling results\, including the new opportunities CMIP6 offers to explore the future through a new set of socio-economic\, as well as physical\, scenarios. \nIn this webinar\, Sugata Narsey (Bureau of Meteorology) and Michael Grose (CSIRO) will summarise and highlight the Hub’s analysis and studies of the CMIP6 climate model simulations just released. Sugata and Michael will provide a general overview of CMIP6 model performance and climate change projections for Australia\, with a special focus on a set of new models with high climate sensitivity and hotter temperature projections. They will also take a detailed look at one of the biggest remaining questions about the effect of climate change on Australia – what will happen to rainfall in the north?
