The Climate Futures project details the general impacts of climate change in Tasmania over the 21st century, with a description of past and present climate and projections for the future. It also looks at the impacts in the applied areas of water and catchments, assessing how water will flow through various Tasmanian water catchments and into storage reservoirs under different climate scenarios; and agriculture, assessing specific climate indicators most important for productivity in several key agricultural groups. Finally, working with emergency service agencies, the project identifies the climate variables of greatest concern to emergency managers.
