The AMOS Conference is Australia’s pre-eminent meeting profiling the latest findings in applications of meteorology, climate science and oceanography across local, national and global scales. 

Tasmania, located between the edge of the Australian continent and the Southern Ocean and Antarctica, offers the perfect backdrop for our conference. Our planet is teetering on the edge of tipping points and possibly catastrophic climate change. In 2023, the world had already crossed six of the nine planetary boundaries that

regulate Earth’s stability - climate change being one of these. To address the critical problems in weather, oceans and climate science will require

cooperation across the notional boundaries between disciplines. By building connections across these transitional zones, and seeing them as spaces for

transformation to happen, we can apply cutting-edge science to address the big challenges.

The unique setting of Tasmania provides an excellent opportunity to showcase the connections between the tropical north of Australia, through the subtropics and

midlatitudes, to the edge of the continent and beyond, out over the Southern Ocean where so many weather systems are formed. Antarctica marks the southern

boundary of the ocean, exerting a unique influence on the weather of the southern hemisphere.

We therefore invite abstract submissions to the following proposed sessions, which have been designed to foster connections across the spaces between weather and climate, oceans and coasts, land and atmosphere, atmosphere and cryosphere, troposphere and stratosphere, tropics and extra-tropics; as well as between science and industry, policy, health, weather resources, and ecosystems.

We look forward to seeing you in Hobart in February 2026,

The AMOS 2026 Organising Committee
