Recent Developments in Australian Climate Change Litigation: Forward Momentum from Down Under

Conservation in the face of climate change: recent developments

An increased understanding of the current and potential future impacts of climate change has significantly influenced conservation in practice in recent years. Climate change has necessitated a shift toward longer planning time horizons, moving baselines, and evolving conservation goals and targets. This shift has resulted in new perspectives on, and changes in, the basic approaches practitione...

Modeling Climate Change Adaptation: Challenges, Recent Developments and Future Directions

This paper offers a critical review of modeling practice in the field of integrated assessment of climate change and ways forward. Past efforts in integrated assessment have concentrated on developing baseline trajectories of emissions and mitigation scenario analyses. A key missing component in IAMs is the representation of climate impacts and adaptation responses. Through the examination of c...

Recent developments in virology by Australian researchers

Virology is a growing field within Australia. Increased funding is being allocated to discovering how viruses interact with their host/vectors(s) and to the development of better treatments and vaccines. There have been many recent exciting new developments in Australian virology. Space limitations mean that we can only highlight a small number of these achievements in this brief overview of th...

Forward osmosis: Principles, applications, and recent developments

Osmosis is a physical phenomenon that has been extensively studied by scientists in various disciplines of science and engineering. Early researchers studied the mechanism of osmosis through natural materials, and from the 1960s, special attention has been given to osmosis through synthetic materials. Following the progress in membrane science in the last few decades, especially for reverse osm...
