Atmosphere and Climate

Our Research

Atmosphere and Climate focuses on three research themes, which covers boundary layers, climate change, clouds, convection, aerosols (including cloud seeding), mesoscale meteorology, numerical modelling, tropical meteorology, and bushfires and fire weather.

Monash University is also part of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes.
