Why Australia was not wet during spring 2020 despite La Niña
Scientific Reports, 2021 The austral spring climate of 2020 was characterised by the occurrence of La Niña, which is the most predictable climate driver of Australian springtime rainfall.

Rainfall as a trigger of ecological cascade effects in an Australian groundwater ecosystem [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractGroundwaters host vital resources playing a key role in the near future. Subterranean fauna and microbes are crucial in regulating organic cycles in environments characterized by low energy and scarce carbon availability. However, our knowledge about the functioning of groundwater ecosystems is limited, despite being increasingly exposed to ...

Probability distributions for explaining hydrological losses in South Australian catchments [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013 Accurate estimation of hydrological losses is required for making vital decisions in design applications that are based on design rainfall models and rainfall–runoff models.

Australian rainfall changes, 1910-1995
Australian Meteorological Magazine, 1999 Annual and seasonal trends in heavy daily rainfall, total rainfall and the number of rain days were calculated for the whole of Australia and each State/Territory from 1910 to 1995, using high-quality daily data from 379 stations. Trend significance was determined using the Kendall-tau test and trend magnitudes were computed from linear regression ...

Intracrystalline Void‐Mediated Toughening of Brittle Crystals in Quail Eggshells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In quail eggshells, the high density and disordered arrangement of intracrystalline voids inhibit lattice cleavage, suppress long‐range crack propagation, and promote deformation twinning and quasi‐plasticity, serving as an essential toughening motif. We show that these voids remain within a narrow subcritical size range and therefore predominantly do ...
