A Review of Drivers of Cool Season Rainfall in Southwest Western Australia
Southwest Western Australia (SWWA), with its Mediterranean climate, has undergone a persistent drying trend since the 1970s. As such, it is often referred to as the “canary in the coal mine” of climate change. This review examines drivers of SWWA rainfall and rainfall decline, focusing on the cool season (April to October) when most rainfall occurs, and includes the influence of weather systems, modes of natural climate variability, and land‐use …
Machine learning based parameter sensitivity of regional climate models—a case study of the WRF model for heat extremes over Southeast Australia
Heatwaves and bushfires cause substantial impacts on society and ecosystems across the globe. Accurate information of heat extremes is needed to support the development of actionable mitigation and adaptation strategies. Regional climate models are commonly used to better understand the dynamics of these events. These models have very large input parameter sets, and the parameters within the physics schemes substantially influence the model’s per…
Chronic historical drought legacy exacerbates tree mortality and crown dieback during acute heatwave-compounded drought
Globally, combinations of drought and warming are driving widespread tree mortality and crown dieback. Yet thresholds triggering either tree mortality or crown dieback remain uncertain, particularly with respect to two issues: (i) the degree to which heat waves, as an acute stress, can trigger mortality, and (ii) the degree to which chronic historical drought can have legacy effects on these processes. Using forest study sites in southwestern Aus…
The influence of soil moisture deficits on Australian heatwaves
Several regions of Australia are projected to experience an increase in the frequency, intensity and duration of heatwaves (HWs) under future climate change. The large-scale dynamics of HWs are well understood, however, the influence of soil moisture deficits—due for example to drought—remains largely unexplored in the region. Using the standardised precipitation evapotranspiration index, we show that the statistical responses of HW intensity and…
Sustainable poverty alleviation through a forestry project in Tamilnadu State of India
The World Development Report 2000–2001 recommends action on three complementary and synergistic fronts for poverty alleviation – promoting opportunity, facilitating empowerment and enhancing security. This paper analyses the Tamilnadu Forestry Project, funded by US$100 million from the Japan Bank for International Cooperation, for community forestry. The project was launched in 1997–1998 in this southern state of India and has evolved into a comp…
