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.
