Kai Kornhuber, Senior Research Scholar in the Integrated Climate Impacts Research Group of the IIASA Energy, Climate, and Environment Program, will give a talk titled, Understanding the dynamics of record breaking, concurrent, and sequential extremes at the upcoming Australian Academy of Science Elizabeth and Frederick White Research Conference on Atmospheric Dynamics in Melbourne, Australia.

Despite climate change being one of the major challenges over the 21st Century, atmospheric dynamics is still one of the most important sources of uncertainty in predicting future climate variability and risks associated with extreme weather events, according to the latest International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Assessment Report.

The event aims to bring together a community of experts in atmospheric dynamics with the ultimate goal of increasing confidence in forecasts and future projections. It will assess current knowledge and identify important knowledge gaps, to guide and support research in atmospheric dynamics. The occasion enjoys strong support from some of the most influential Australian institutions in climate science: The Australian Academy of Science, the Australian Meteorological and Oceanic Society, the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes, the ARC Centre of Excellence for Weather in the 21st Century, and the ACCESS National Research Infrastructure.

During his trip down-under, Kornhuber will catch up with colleagues at various Australian institutions, present at their departmental seminars, and endeavor to initiate new projects.
