We linked the occurrence of higher temperatures to higher economic losses for storm related catastrophes. Paper: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… TL;DR? Very short video (I promise): youtu.be/fJGNWr4dDi4 via @YouTube

New paper out providing a systematic review of climate change science relevant to Australian design flood estimation led by @conradwasko Lots of relevance to other countries too in here. @EngineeringNCL hess.copernicus.org/articles/28/12…

Research grants take hundreds of hours to write and cause so many sleepless nights, but it’s okay as there are good reasons to write them #academia

Journal of Hydrology X is now a letters format journal! Consider submitting 👇 sciencedirect.com/journal/journa…

My Hydrology and Climate Impacts group @SLFDavos and @ETH_en is looking for a postdoc who would like to develop their research in the field of 'compound climate/hydrologic extremes'. Details and application: apply.refline.ch/273855/1600/pu…

*closed. I'm tired.

Waking up at 5am to review proposals only to find that the system is close for maintenance.

#EGU24: Please consider submitting the abstract to our transdisciplanary session on climate change solutions (meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU24/session/…) @HCBloomfield19 has agreed to deliver a solicited talk @HayleyJFowler @conradwasko @EngineeringNCL @livingdeltas @GCRFWaterHub @EuroGeosciences

Our new paper is online! We have quantified how groundwater responds to the changing climate across Australia and explored why some aquifers are more sensitive and others are less. BIG THANKS to my supervisors @TPeterson_water @benhenley and Meenakshi. 🔗doi.org/10.1029/2023WR…

Massive congratulations to @HayleyJFowler, @DrFionaClubb, @paul_d_bates, @Marleen_Ruiter and Laura Stevens (and all the other awardees) on their exceptionally well-deserved #EGU awards! egu.eu/news/987/egu-a…

We're thrilled to share the recipient of our Batterham Medal for Engineering Excellence, Dr @conradwasko! 🤩 👏 As a hydrological engineer at the @UniMelb, Conrad has transformed our understanding of how climate change will affect floods. 🔗 atse.org.au/programs-and-a… #ATSEAwards

Lalani's first PhD paper 😀 looking at non-stationarity in extreme rainfalls across Australia across durations and frequencies relevant to IFDs. The shorter and the more extreme the rainfall the greater the increase! sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @FiJohnsonWater

Scientists: we can't assign likelihood to scenarios Users: we want likelihood of different scenarios

Get your extended abstract for #modsim2023 submitted by the end of today. Last chance to have the opportunity to give a presentation in Darwin. 16 hours to go!

When I post our @BerkeleyEarth global temperature record, I always get complaints that 1930s were really the warmest decade and our data is wrong. But while the summers in the 1930s were warm in the US, thats only 2% of the planet. Globally they were nothing compared to today:
