As part of a special issue on natural hazards, this paper reviews the current state of scientific
knowledge of Australian heatwaves. Over recent years, progress has been made in …

Floods are caused by a number of interacting factors, making it remarkably difficult to explain
changes in flood hazard. This paper reviews the current understanding of historical trends …

Climate models have continued to be developed and improved since the AR4, and many
models have been extended into Earth System models by including the representation of …

This study expands previous work on climate extremes in Australia by investigating the
simulation of a large number of extremes indices in the CMIP5 multi-model dataset and …

This study assesses present‐day and future precipitation changes over China by using the
Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model version 3.5. 1. The WRF model was driven …

One of the most important areas of current research is the impacts of climate change on
climatic parameters, especially temperature and rainfall, as those have direct linkages with …

A genetic programming (GP)-based logistic regression method is proposed in the present
study for the downscaling of extreme rainfall indices on the east coast of Peninsular …

Coarse resolution global climate models (GCMs) cannot resolve fine-scale drivers of
regional climate, which is the scale where climate adaptation decisions are made. Regional …

A new regional climate projection ensemble has been created for the Australasia region as
part of the World Climate Research Programs Coordinated Regional Downscaling …

We describe the method and performance of a bias-correction applied to high-resolution (10
km) simulations from a stretched-grid Regional Climate Model (RCM) over Tasmania …
