Tropical cyclones, supercells and storms: Local disasters, national research impact

Time

1:30 pm AEDT - 2:30 pm AEDT

About

Tropical Cyclone Fina and some supercell storms over parts of eastern Australia, this year’s storm weather season has started with a thunderclap. What can we learn from these and previous events such as Tropical Cyclone Alfred so we can better mitigate, prepare and recover?

Join our December Hazardous Webinar to hear from researchers at the forefront of cyclones and storms, as well as those investigating the vulnerability of infrastructure assets and the impact of natural hazards on interconnected private and public infrastructure.
