Climate scientists from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes came together in one place in November for the centre's 7th annual workshop, the biggest to date.
Scientists had the opportunity to discuss their research and attend various climate science talks. Topics ranged from understanding the predictability of droughts and extreme rainfall to exploring ‘climate surprises’ and the latest advances in climate science.
Scientists also built skills in engaging with policy makers and the media and learned about science that has made a significant impact on the wider world.
A total of 160 people attended the 4-day event, which featured 12 climate science talks, four panel discussions and three poster sessions, during which more than 110 posters were presented.
"The workshop creates energy, breaks down silos, creates new avenues for research and creates collaborations that will last many years. Solutions to big problems emerge at these events and set Australian climate science up for the next decade or two." -Andy Pitman, Centre Director
