This subject introduces the fundamental processes and dynamics important for climate variability and climate change in the Australian region using both observations and climate models. There are discussions on the development of regional climate change scenarios using climate model outputs and their application for a range of climate change impact studies
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students are expected to be better able to:
- Assess the relative magnitudes of climate variability and climate change over different time scales in different Australian regions;
- Evaluate future climate scenarios for assessing the range of potential impacts on global and regional conditions, incorporating the uncertainty associated with those scenarios, and;
- Use current and projected meteorological data for developing policy and business decisions
Generic skills
On completion of this subject, students are expected to be better able to:
- Collect, evaluate and integrate information;
- Work constructively with colleagues; respect the value of other points of view, and identify knowledge gaps and sources of uncertainty, and;
- Prepare written documents of a high quality that clearly and convincingly inform the reader
