The Queensland Future Climate Dashboardfrom an ensemble of 15 regional climate models with simulations until the end of the current century. The dashboard is a visualisation platform composed of drop-down menus, maps, plots and tables whereby users can customise, visualise and export summarised future climate information according to their interest.
The Queensland Future Climate Dashboardprovides high resolution simulations for 30 different metrics grouped in seven climate themes: (i) Mean Climate; (ii) Heatwaves; (iii) Extreme Temperature Indices; (iv) Extreme Precipitation Indices; (v) Drought Indices; (vi) Wetness Indices and (vii) Fire weather Indices. The spatial information for regional projections was spatially aggregated from 10 km pixel-size grids to specific regions. The regional projections are presented for seven specific region types: (i) Local Government Areas; (ii) Bioregions; (iii) Natural Resource Management Regions; (iv) Regional Plan Areas; (v) Major River Basins; (vi) Disaster Districts and (vii) Locations. In addition, users can visualize and download future climate data across calendar seasons, wet and dry periods as well as annual basis. Information is summarized for four 20-year time slices centred in 2030, 2050, 2070 and 2090. The Queensland Future Climate Dashboardwas designed to underpin the Queensland Climate Adaptation Strategy (Q-CAS) .
