CSIRO计划削减其气候研究单位的102个工作岗位,冒着澳大利亚气候预测和全球科学领导的风险。 CSIRO plans to cut 102 jobs in its climate research unit, risking Australia’s climate prediction and global scientific leadership.

CSIRO计划削减其环境研究股的102个全职职位,包括大幅削减气候建模,威胁到澳大利亚社区气候和地球系统模拟器(ACCESS),这是一个关键的国家气候模型。 CSIRO plans to cut 102 full-time positions in its Environment Research Unit, including major reductions in climate modelling, threatening the Australian Community Climate and Earth System Simulator (ACCESS), a key national climate model. 科学家们警告削减可能会削弱澳大利亚预测极端天气、评估气候影响和推动全球气候研究的能力,从而有可能使澳大利亚的地球系统监测成为“次要关键 ” 。 虽然CSIRO说气候科学仍是一个优先事项,核心能力将保留下来,但专家担心大气和海洋研究方面的专门知识减少会削弱国内准备和国际科学领导力。 Scientists warn the cuts could undermine Australia’s ability to predict extreme weather, assess climate impacts, and contribute to global climate research, potentially rendering the country’s earth systems monitoring “sub critical.” While CSIRO says climate science remains a priority and core capabilities will be retained, experts fear diminished expertise in atmospheric and oceanic research will weaken both domestic preparedness and international scientific leadership. 最终决定等待协商期作出。 Final decisions await a consultation period.
