  3. The Ningaloo Niño research • The evolution of Ningaloo Niño events, their decadal variations, and their association with interannual and decadal climate variability in the Indo-Pacific Ocean • Predictability of the extreme Ningaloo Niño events in relation to key climate variation modes in the Indo-Pacific Ocean, using ACCESS model • Future risks of extreme Ningaloo Niño events in a warming world so as to better inform decision making Existing projects FRDC: Nick Caputi, Alan Pearce (WA DoF), Ming Feng (CSIRO) ARC: Nathan Bindoff, Helen Phillips (UTas) Jay McCreary (U.
