Can we learn from the recent past to predict future climate change impacts using machine learning? We have created a new benchmark dataset designed to help answer this question, and you can take part in the challenge: www.kaggle.com/competitions...

Hoping to make this fab-looking meeting in June. Keen to (re)connect with the overseas compound events community.

to celebrate a recent *short format* paper featuring ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY panels across EIGHTEEN figures, I present what will definitely be simultaneously my most accurate and most niche post ever

I had a great time at my first CLEX workshop a few weeks back in Brisbane - met some wonderful people for the first time/first time IRL. Here I am pretending to be an art savant during my lightning lecture...

High impact events are often compound events and need to be integrated in climate risk stress testing frameworks See our joint NGFS, Worldbank, ECB report with M. Dolk, N. Ranger, O. Mahul, A. Ceglar ‘Compound Risks: Implications for Physical Climate Scenario Analysis’ www.ngfs.net/sites/defaul...

*New Dataset alert*
Decadal Climate Predictions Project (DCPP) experiments, used in the C3S decadal prediction prototype service.

South Australia's electricity mix over the past 24 hours: 106% solar and wind. Average power spot price: A$2.44/MWh (the average across Australia: A$230.15/MWh)

Okay so this is a pretty big deal (Australian Gov to underwrite the energy transition basically - 32GW of RE/storage out to 2030) www.afr.com/companies/en...

This is a great visual dive into the extent of the bushfires so far across Australia's north 👇 www.theguardian.com/news/datablo...

✨New paper alert*✨ Cloudy, still days might sound mild, but they are bad for renewable energy! This new paper looks at how often Australia experiences compound cloudy, wind-less days. *less new if you read the pre-print. doi.org/10.1038/s416...

☕ I'm very happy to have been interviewed by L'Express recently! Read here (in French) for some nice coverage of the impacts of climate change on coffee: www.lexpress.fr/monde/le-caf... with an accompanying video feat. me and some lovely shots of Brazil: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ShF...

👋 Introducing myself to bsky: I'm a climate scientist! Follow me for any combination of the following: compound events, energy systems, fire weather and forecasting. Here's hoping for a return of the halcyon days of climate twitter.
