Climate Futures for Tasmania reportsA series of reports will be published by the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre's Climate Futures for Tasmania project. These reports will examine the following:
Fact sheet on the Projected climate change impacts for Tasmania. General Climate Impacts Technical ReportIn October 2010, the Climate Futures for Tasmania: general climate impacts technical report was released. The report sets out the projected changes to Tasmania’s climate during this century, including higher temperatures and changes in rainfall patterns.

Impacts on Agriculture Technical ReportIn March 2011, the Climate Futures for Tasmania: impacts on agriculture technical report was released. The report sets out the impacts on Tasmanian agriculture from projected climate change. The report examines the key climate indices of frost, drought, chilling and growing degree-days, and focuses on the key agricultural sectors of perennial horticulture, pasture production, grain crops, wine and issues around bio-security.

Water and Catchments Technical ReportIn March 2011, the Climate Futures for Tasmania: water and catchments technical report was released. The report sets out projected river flows, to 2100, for more than 1900 subcatchments in 78 river catchments that cover more than 70 per cent of the State by area. The future operations of Tasmania’s hydro-electric system and 14 major irrigation storages were also simulated to 2100. Download a summary of the report Download the full report 
Extreme Events Technical ReportIn October 2011, the Climate Futures for Tasmania: extreme events technical report was released. The technical report examines extreme rainfall, temperature and drought events in the Tasmanian context to determine how climate change might alter the characteristics of these events in the 21st century. The summary report also includes information on coastal vulnerabilities, wind hazard and impacts on infrastructure. Download a summary of the report Download the full report |
