Climate

 

 The Climate and Atmosphere theme develops Earth system models and knowledge of climate processes to make climate and ocean predictions and assess climate change impacts.

It aims to help our climate-sensitive society make better decisions.

 

Researchers use observations of the atmosphere and Earth to assess air quality, greenhouse gases and the interactions between land and air.

Their work focuses on policies, actions and methodologies that are responsive to changes in atmospheric health, for the responsible use of the atmosphere and its interactions with the Earth.

 

The ocean drives the climate system, provides food and transport, minerals, oil and gas resources, sustains biodiversity and regional economies, and offers recreational and lifestyle opportunities.
