Northern Australia

Improving Prediction of the Northern Australian Wet Season

Analysis of Northern Australian Wet Season onset, decline and duration has been completed. The team has published multiple papers and the work has generated much interest. A website has been developed (part of APSRU) for users to explore wet season characteristics. Understanding of MJO and the interface between statistical and GCM systems has improved significantly. The project has set the context for further research, and (more)...

Scoping Northern Australian Seasonal Climate Knowledge R&D Initiative

The project team is developing a strategic framework for science investment in northern Australia in seasonal forecasting and applications. Outputs include a report summarising existing knowledge and knowledge gaps, and a draft science plan to focus our investment and hopefully attract co-investors.

Final report included a review of existing knowledge and opportunities, user needs, return on investment analysis and detail of proposed projects.

Sustainable northern landscapes and the nexus with Indigenous health

This fact sheet has been produced as a result of project number NTU7 funded by Land & Water Australia through the Social and Institutional Research Program. Benefits from active indigenous involvement in cultural and natural resource management are sufficiently strong to justify co-investment across a range of policy sectors.

Sustainable northern landscapes and the nexus with indigenous health: healthy country healthy people

Healthy country, healthy people has explored the relationship between landscape health and Aboriginal health in northern Australia. Aboriginal people worked with a trans-disciplinary research team to test the assertion that investment in indigenous natur

Scoping northern Australia seasonal climate knowledge

We need a step change in forecasting capability if we are to meet the challenge of Australia’s increasingly variable weather in our changing climate. The monsoon-affected area of northern Australia has potential to benefit from improved predictions. This scoping study brings scientific rigour to the process of identifying potential research and development projects in this region.
