Also just found out that my other student Sienna Blanckensee got the best student presentation award at #AMOS2025. Successful conference for the UQ_CAOS team. She has now been invited to Japan to present her work.

Interesting talk about this by @andrewkingclimate.bsky.social at @amosupdates.bsky.social #AMOS2025

Sonia and Simon had a fantastic time last week attending the #AMOS2025 conference in Cairns. One highlight was visiting the Great Barrier Reef to see firsthand the impact of cyclones on the reef + watch researchers restore reef ecosystems. 🐠

My final run at #AMOS2025 in Cairns - a sunrise one to the swamp forest boardwalk in the Botanic Gardens. A breezy 20 deg C with scrub fowl and brush turkeys for company.

#AMOS2025 ended today. Enriching discussions took place in Cairns about diverse topics of Australias weather, climate, and ocean dynamics. Tomorrow some of our members will experience the Great Barrier Reef wonders while others reflect on all we learned in the past 4 days

@eunicelo.bsky.social giving a keynote at #AMOS2025 on the health impacts of extreme heat and cold in the UK, and future predictions of deaths from extreme temperatures. Likely a little different in Aus with mosquitoes and bushfires increasing with warming.

Climate change Authority chief Matt Kean giving a key note talk about the climate impacts on the GBR and Antarctica #AMOS2025 - the question is why is the Aus govt still approving fossil fuel expansion….

Proud of my two students at UQld presenting their posters at #AMOS2025 - Shana just finished her honours on microplastics in the ocean and Megan is doing her PhD on EAC interaction with Canyons along the east coast of Aus.

#AMOS2025 Day 3. I've been learning about compound weather events, extreme rainfall, & how climate drivers influences on rainfall.

Why?
agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
You need top 10% rainfall events for rain to reach the groundwater.

Find out more today in the final session.

How we talk about climate needs to change? New ways and audiences - law, business, young people, general public- that we need to talk to about the changing climate. #AMOS2025 great talks and panel discussion in honour of Paul Holper.

#showyourstripes at #AMOS2025 - the University of Queensland and Queensland future climate team.

A great start of Day 2 at #AMOS2025 with our Workshop on Australia's climate and weather models 🌏. 30+ participants enjoyed breakfast, a climate model inspired song/dance, an overview of what climate models are, and an introduction to the role of the different teams at ACCESS-NRI. #NCRISImpact

Dr Michael Grose giving the climate update for 2024 #AMOS2025 - it was warm… above 1.5C. But what drove this increase in temp increase is not clear - likely a combination of factors. We haven’t reached a 1.5 C world -needs a decade of average 1.5 C.

#AMOS2025 outreach award to Dr Kimberley Reid for all her work in getting the climate message out.

#AMOS2025 Gibbs award to Mary Voice for her distinguished career in climate. She also highlighted that Dr Bill Gibbs was an advocate for women in Science and supported women to have a career at BOM.
