Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The journal focuses on Earth systems science within the Southern Hemisphere, with a strong emphasis on Australia and surrounding regions. It investigates climate variability, extremes, and projections, including topics such as compound weather events (drought, heatwaves, rainfall), the impact of climate change on aridity and fire risk, and the performance of climate models and reanalysis systems. The scope also encompasses atmospheric phenomena like cyclones, windstorms, and frost events, as well as their interactions with land and ocean systems, and the role of large-scale climate drivers.
