Scientists need to continue working across disciplines to find ways to disrupt disease transmission in the context of climate change.
A new outlook from the Bureau of Meteorology forecasts a dry, warm spring – and not the sustained rain we need.
The ideological hardliners were obsessed with the climate, free speech and other culture wars. Their discordant voices have been amplified by their good mates in News Corp, including Sky, and 2GB.
What can we expect from our future climate after looking at the 'Hothouse Earths' of the past?
Yesterday's weather helps make sense of today's, but how will this change as the climate changes?
Australia has always suffered heat and flood, but a detailed seasonal rainfall reconstruction of the last 800 years shows the extremes are intensifying.
Some experts argue globalization has been bad for the environment. But moving away from globalization could have other consequences that could be even more devastating for the environment.
An annual assessment of the health of Australia's environment shows mostly stable conditions in 2017, but ecosystems on land and at sea suffered ever higher temperatures.
The Bureau of Meteorology's climate outlook for April to June is 'neutral', but that doesn't mean we're flying blind, weather-wise.
Clouds can reveal a great deal about the world we live in. Here's what happens when scientists find a whole new type.
The creation of climate models with open source code, available for anyone to use, has improved scientific collaboration and helped research get more efficient.
At present on the African continent, the politics of persuasion are especially consequential in the area of agri-food research and development.
African governments must focus on developing and supporting highly-skilled water professionals.
The European Investment Bank's funding of the Trans Adriatic Pipeline will harm the climate and makes little financial sense.
A drying climate caused a mass extinction among plants, but paved the way for the ancestors of modern reptiles, mammals, and birds.
Several satellites have been launched in recent years with the objective of measuring data related to climate change. They must be complementary to measurements made on earth.
Last year was a vicious one for climate and energy politics. And with a South Australian election and various other federal decisions in the offing, 2018 looks like being similarly rancorous.
Last year saw plenty of warm weather around the country, but other notable events included dry months in the southeast, some very cold winter nights, and record-warm dry season days in the north.
Climate governance is based on the key concept of control. But this idea is illusory and we must be able to overcome to cope with future disturbances.
