Climate change is likely to significantly affect Australia's water resources. A well-measured response to this challenge requires reliable projections of future climate using modern Earth System Models. By thoroughly evaluating Australia's community climate model this research will inform Australia's adaptation policy and through subsequent model development it will contribute to significant improvements in our ability to understand and predict climate change. Through better informing water resource management the research constitutes an important contribution to an environmentally sustainable Australia.

气候变化可能会严重影响澳大利亚的水资源。要对这一挑战作出妥善的反应，就需要利用现代地球系统模型对未来气候进行可靠的预测。通过彻底评估澳大利亚的社区气候模型，这项研究将为澳大利亚的适应政策提供信息，通过随后的模型开发，它将有助于大大提高我们理解和预测气候变化的能力。通过更好地为水资源管理提供信息，该研究为澳大利亚的环境可持续发展做出了重要贡献。
