  • Climate Futures for Tasmania Project
    The Climate Futures for Tasmania research project is the Tasmanian Government’s most important source of climate change data at a local scale. It is an essential part of Tasmania’s climate change strategy as stated in the Tasmanian Framework for Action on Climate Change. The project is creating the first fine-scale climate information for Tasmania by downscaling six global climate models with two IPCC emission scenarios (A2 and B1) to generate climate information from 1961 to 2100. The project recently finished generating more than 70 terabytes of climate simulations data covering 140 variables at more than 700 grid points across Tasmania.
