Satellite images show how a dust storm from drought-affected SA travelled across to Sydney. New research seeks to improve Australia’s understanding of dust storms.
One long line of powerful winds can whip up dust storms, spread wildfires, spin up tornadoes and fuel blizzards – all at the same time across different states.
Extreme winds from thunderstorms have downed transmission towers from Victoria to Western Australia in recent years. What’s going on?
Storm Ciarán unleashed extremely strong and destructive winds in parts of the southern UK and northern France – here’s why.
Sting jets are poorly understood, but could have a big influence on Britain’s future winter storms.
Some trees explode into bits when lightning strikes. Some seem fine and die later. But others are unaffected.
A better understanding of the science behind falling trees – followed by informed action – will help keep us safe and ensure trees continue to provide their many benefits.
In an era of climate change and extreme weather, a microgrid — a self-sufficient, energy-generating distribution and control system — puts communities on the path to self-reliance.
