SUMMARY:State of the Climate 2020
DESCRIPTION:The Bureau of Meteorology and CSIRO play an important role in monitoring\, analysing and communicating observed changes in Australia’s climate. Observations and climate modelling paint a consistent picture of ongoing\, long term climate change interacting with underlying natural variability. These changes affect many Australians\, particularly the changes associated with increases in the frequency or intensity of heat events\, fire weather and drought. \nAustralia will need to plan for and adapt to climate change. \nNovember 2020 marks the release of the State of the Climate report. This sixth\, biennial report draws on the latest monitoring\, science and projection information to describe variability and changes in Australia’s climate. This report is a synthesis of the science informing our understanding of climate in Australia and includes new information about Australia’s climate of the past\, present and future. The science underpinning this report will help inform a range of economic\, environmental and social decision-making and local vulnerability assessments\, by government\, industry and communities. \nJoin Dr Lynette Bettio to unpack the latest State of the Climate report\, the changes we’ve seen and the implications for the future\, informing the important decisions that will need to be made to help our country to persist and thrive in the years to come. \n  \nA joint briefing between the Royal Society of Victoria and the Victorian Departments of Environment\, Land\, Water and Planning (DELWP) and Jobs\, Precincts and Regions (DJPR). \nAbout the Speaker\nDr Lynette Bettio leads the Long-range forecasting team at the Bureau of Meteorology in the Operational Climate Services Section\, which is responsible for the preparation and analysis of Australia’s instrumental climate record\, issuing outlooks of likely climate conditions for the coming seasons. Lynette examines and communicates on changes to Australia’s climate including long-term trends in rainfall and temperature and the interaction with extreme events. The communication of seasonal forecasts\, to help in part to manage this variability\, is another passion. Another focus is drought across Australia and how the Bureau can best communicate and inform around this. \nLynette had an upbringing in north-eastern Victoria\, and moved to Melbourne to study science at the University of Melbourne. An interest in weather and climate\, gained in part from growing up in an agricultural area\, led to a major in climate sciences. She continued this interest with a PhD in climate science from the University of Melbourne. She is a member of the World Meteorological Organization expert team on drought.

SUMMARY:Scaling Australian Manufacturing through Digital Platforms
DESCRIPTION:The Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) is also referred to Industry 4.0 in Europe\, where it has been framed as the “4th industrial revolution.” It describes the digitalisation of modern manufacturing. \nIndustry 4.0 will be an enabler for the re-shoring of Australian manufacturing in a cost effective and globally competitive way\, even for low volume production and small batch sizes. It will enhance our sovereign manufacturing capabilities and\, where the COVID pandemic has revealed gaps in our vital supply chains\, we will now have the capability to plug these gaps. This is where Australia has an opportunity to make the most of technology transfer from the mining sector to our manufacturing sector. \nDigital twins of manufacturing processes were once described in the vaguest of terms\, but have now been clearly defined as a faithful digital representation of a product\, its production and performance. Further\, cognitive digital twins (which leverage cognitive computing\, the IIOT\, data science and advanced analytics) can enable real time data analytics from manufacturing that lead to the development of self-correcting manufacturing processes. They also accelerate the transition from idea\, to design\, to prototype\, to production. \nTo demonstrate the capabilities of these new tools and processes\, a new\, immersive facility has been built to showcase the digitalisation of manufacturing. Supported by the Australian Federal Government\, built by Swinburne University and CSIRO and located in the centre of the Clayton additive manufacturing precinct\, the National Industry 4.0 Testlab for composite additive manufacturing is focussed on a world-first process for digitally enabled manufacturing of carbon fibre-reinforced composites at an industrial scale. \nIts goal is to enable Small and Medium Enterprises to test new technologies and business models created with Industry 4.0 techniques in a pre-competitive environment\, with the aim of minimising technical and financial risk. It will act as a hub for significant international collaborations\, manufacturing products to support aerospace\, automotive\, space and satellite technologies\, as well as the emerging urban air mobility market. \nAbout the Speaker\nProfessor Bronwyn Fox is the 2020 recipient of the Royal Society of Victoria’s Medal for Excellence in Scientific Research. She is the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research and Enterprise) at the Swinburne University of Technology. Prior to this\, Professor Fox was founding Director of the University’s Manufacturing Futures Research Institute with a mission to support the transition of Australia’s manufacturing sector to Industry 4.0 – the fourth industrial revolution. \nAfter attaining her Bachelor of Science (chemistry) from the University of Melbourne\, Dr Fox received her PhD in Engineering from the Australian National University in 2001 on the topic of aerospace composites. Since that time\, Bronwyn has grown her own internationally recognised research groups\, industry projects\, and national industry de-risking infrastructure at Deakin University (2001-2015) and at Swinburne University (2015-present). She has created a Composites Manufacturing Ecosystem in Australia that brings together industry-research partnerships\, contributes to a vibrant national manufacturing capability\, supplies products and services globally\, and plays an important role in high tech job creation. These accomplishments are underpinned by her research excellence\, her innovative methods for building research-industry partnerships\, and her leadership. \nProfessor Fox was one of the founders of the Carbon Nexus facility at Deakin University\, which catalysed the creation of an industrial research precinct. Leveraging her specific knowledge of materials science and engineering\, Professor Fox has built multidisciplinary teams to work with the manufacturing sector to ensure they are digitally equipped and linked into global supply chains. \nBronwyn is an internationally recognised expert on carbon fibre and composite materials and is Chair of the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering (Victorian Division)\, a Fellow of the Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE)\, a Fellow of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI) and a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (GAICD).
