What are climate models?

Ever wondered what a “climate model” actually is?
Our new animation explains why we need climate models, how these models work, and how ACCESS-NRI supports the Australian research community building and using them.

Visualising uncharted climate futures: Pacific warming trends

How are sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific ocean changing, and what can we expect in the future?

This video outlines research that compares the subtle differences between observed and modelled ocean warming patterns, and the implications of these trends for Australia.

It is a visual collaboration between Australia’s climate simulator (ACCESS-NRI), the National Environmental Science Program (NESP Climate Science Hub), and the Bureau of Meteorology.

A visual expedition to Antarctica’s past and a clue to its future

This video, narrated by researcher Ed Doddridge, showcases a visualisation created by ACCESS-NRI Owen Kaluza. As Antarctic sea ice appears to have shifted to a different state of lower coverage, this video allows us to look into Antarctica 120 years ago and compare it with Antarctica today. An insightful view of how alarming the loss of sea-ice is for the whole planet.

Visualising Antarctica’s heartbeat

Watch why Antarctica is like a heartbeat for Earth, in an amazing video from a collaborative work between researcher Ed Doddridge from the Australian Antarctic Partnership Program (AAPP) and visualisation expert Owen Kaluza from the Australian Earth System Simulator (ACCESS-NRI)

ACCESS-NRI video NCRIS Collaboration NatSciWeek

This video is one of a series of 1 min videos from a collaborative project with all the NCRIS facilities and the Department of Education. Our video showcases the Australian Earth System Simulator or ACCESS-NRI. Our speaker, Dr Chaira Holgate is an ANU and CLEX researcher and an user of the ACCESS suite of computational models.

ACCESS-NRI has been launched!

This 30 minute video is a recording of the public launch of ACCESS-NRI on 23 June 2022. Speakers include Lee Constable (as MC), Serena Willimas (Welcome to Country), Professor Brian Schmidt, Dan Donegan (DESE, NCRIS), Andy Hogg and Robyn Owens.

ACCESS: Modelling Australia’s climate

This video explains what are Climate Models, with a focus on the ACCESS suite of models. This video has been produced by CSIRO in collaboration with the Australian Bureau of Meteorology with funding from Inspiring Australia.
