Modelling climate changes
Modelling climate changes
Scientists make predictions about future climate using computer models that have been developed from taking averages about rainfall and temperature over long time-periods and over large areas of the earth.
Major changes in climate can affect agriculture, amenity and infrastructure needs.

Our weather, including extreme weather events such as floods and heatwaves, has a big economic, environmental and social impact on Australia. The scientists at the Climate Science Centre create model simulations of the various climate elements and how they interact with each other, in order to make predictions of future climate.
