Winter School 2024

Theme: Weather and Climate Interactions

The ARC Centres of Excellence for Climate Extremes & 21st Century Weather will co-host a graduate level winter school June 17-21 2024, at the School of Earth, Atmosphere and Environment at Monash University.

The climate is the aggregate of individual weather systems. From this perspective, weather systems are the building blocks of the climate. Of course, the connection is not one way since the frequency and amplitude of various weather systems are themselves modulated by climate. This winter school will focus on the how extreme weather relates to weather systems, the physical mechanisms involved and the potential effects of climate change on these mechanisms.

Our Winter Schools are the cornerstone of our Graduate Program. We want to have graduate students who not only have highly specialised knowledge in their own area of research, but also a broad understanding of the discipline as a whole. The winter school provides this opportunity. The theme of the winter school changes each year, and shifts from broader, relevant to everyone, topics to more focused topics requiring prerequisite knowledge.
