'Variability and long-term change in Australian monsoon rainfall: A review' by @HdmHanna, @DrTimboC, Joachim Ribbe, Scott Power (@unisqaus), Benjamin J. Henley (@UOW) and @ClimateFreund (@BOM_au), now in Early View #WIRES orlo.uk/IuMxt

Come and join us at the Centre for Applied Climate Sciences world-class research group. We're looking for someone to help us to better understand the climate risks for northern Australia. Great team and exciting research opportunities: usq.nga.net.au/cp/index.cfm?e…

Here's some great new research by @HdmHanna from @usqedu on how Australia's monsoon rainfall is influenced by interannual and decadal SSTs journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/… (just in time for the upcoming monsoon season!)

@sarahinscience Ha ha! Serious Mum voice gets the job done! Luckily you weren't interrupted by that singing protester. Mark did well to keep it all together.

@DrTimboC I feel like that I had my serious Mum voice on - "NO! stop doing that!! WHAT DID I SAY!"

Eeek. #NPC

@SafariPenguin When I saw your vaxxie, I was thinking 'damn, that's where my missing AMOS face mask is". You've motivated me to purchase a few more now😷.

@julie_arblaster @MonashUni @ClimateExtremes Yay, well done Dr Pete!

Congratulations Dr Hoffmann and Dr van Rensch! You should be very proud of all your achievements - it was wonderful to watch you graduate in person @MonashUni @ClimateExtremes

@AndrewKingClim @ClimateExtremes @SciMelb Well done Sopia! Awesome stuff!

@SafariPenguin I can send you a copy if you like.

“The best word to describe the weather across the West is: "Bonkers." The region will experience some of the hottest weather ever recorded in CA, a strong downslope wind event igniting fire concerns, a 70-degree swing in temperatures and a foot of snow” cbsnews.com/news/weather-w…

“Experts warn that what we are witnessing in the present moment is a window into everyday life in the not-too-distant future if humans do not reverse course and curb emissions. This is how climate change becomes a truly destabilizing force.” cbsnews.com/news/climate-c…

The Dust Bowl of the 1930s — the hottest decade in US history — was devastating for the Plain States. Now, a new study shows Dust Bowl heat waves in the Plains are becoming much more likely. @WeatherProf reports cbsn.ws/2CTTSXI

@ClimateExtremes @SafariPenguin @julie_arblaster Well done Pete! Now you're the no. 1 expert on 'rainfall over east Aust. during strong El Ninos' in the world! Good luck at Monash!

Congratulations to Peter van Rensch who had his PhD entitled "East Australian Spring Rainfall During Strong El Nino Events" conferred last Friday. His supervisors @SafariPenguin, @julie_arblaster, Wenju Cai and Neville Nicholls were equally delighted.

@ClimateGrose I'm in the same boat Michael. Maybe ask the POTUS - he uses it sometimes.

I’m very new to Twitter, and I’m mainly using it for work things (climate, comms, energy mainly). So far I just put up links to new papers/talks. Any tips for getting the best out of it? Thanks!

NEW PAPER by myself and @drsophielewis in @NatureComms reporting on observed regional heatwave trends: nature.com/articles/s4146…:

New research on the causes of the Dust Bowl heatwaves of the 1930s, with my colleagues at @GeosciencesEd, @ecioxford, IPSL, Université Paris-Saclay, PSL Research University, École des Ponts ParisTech, and @CSIRO.

CLEX AI’s @joellegergis & @lindenashcroft produce Australia’s longest temp record using historical documents. Less snow, more heat over the centuries. The heritage documents and old pictures are just spectacular. @scienceANU @unimelb @BOM_au @CSIRO bit.ly/2MsDlLm

New research from @FrediOtto and colleagues finds Dust bowl conditions of 1930s US now more than twice as likely to reoccur due to #ClimateChange theguardian.com/environment/20…
