Title: The Australian Coastal Ocean Radar Network facility of IMOS – present and future.
Abstract: HF ocean radars provide maps of surface currents over meso-scale areas of coastal ocean and make it possible to map real-time dynamics of sea surface currents across substantial areas of (...)

WAIMOS Infrastructure in the Kimberley
West Australian Integrated Marine Observation System (WAIMOS) is a node of the Integrated Marine Observation System (IMOS) and with recent co-investment from the WA State Government, extended its deployment of (...)
16:00 - SEMINAR - Thesis Presentation: : Hydrodynamic modelling and fluorescent spectral methods for characterising the spatial distribution of phytoplankton.
|
Website |
More Information
|
Identifying structure in aquatic environments and showing the relationship to phytoplankton diversity is challenging because it is difficult to make direct measurements of all relevant variables at the necessary temporal and spatial scales. Two new approaches are demonstrated, which allow (...)

Title: Can Law Protect Sharks? Enhancing legal frameworks for the conservation and management of sharks
Abstract:
Sharks are threatened by a range of activities including fishing and tourism as well as environmental impacts such as habitat loss and pollution. Addressing these challenges (...)

Extreme rainfall over the south and north-west of Western Australia and the Sydney region of NSW over the last fifty years has been modelled using a Bayesian hierarchical approach based on statistical extreme value theory. Spatial variability of the extreme rainfall distribution is modelled using a (...)

Title: Coral-dinoflagellate symbiosis: evolution, ecology and interaction states
Abstract: Corals form an obligate symbiosis with unicellular photosynthetic dinoflagellates. The diversity of dinoflagellates associated with a host is the result of both evolutionary and ecological (...)
16:00 - SEMINAR - CWR Presents : The seasonal hydrodynamic habitat of the Sea of Galilee (Lake Kinneret, Israel)
|
Website |
More Information
|
Physical processes in lakes are the result of a large number of different mechanisms occurring over a wide range of temporal and spatial scales affecting ecosystem function in a variety of ways. Hence, a deep understanding of the lake hydrodynamics and its variability is essential in understanding (...)

16:00 - SEMINAR - Hydrodynamics and sand transport on perched beaches in Western Australia : SESE and Oceans Institute Seminar
|
More Information
|
Beach morphology is the result of complex interactions between sand transport, mean sea level, wind, surface gravity waves, and currents, all of which act over a range of temporal and spatial scales. Interactions with rocky landforms add another level of complexity to the mechanisms of beach (...)

A public lecture by Dr Scott Draper, Centre of Offshore Foundation Systems and UWA Oceans Institute.
Western Australia is bordered by substantial resources of marine energy - waves generated from storms in the Southern and Indian Oceans provide significant energy flux to the South of the (...)

Title: Perth Wave Energy Project – An Example of Multidisciplinary Ocean Engineering
Abstract:
Carnegie’s first grid-connected CETO wave energy project is to be located at Garden Island in Western Australia as a result of the recent award of a $9.9m Federal Government grant from (...)
16:00 - SEMINAR - CWR Presents : Consistent abundance distributions of marine fishes in an old, climatically buffered, infertile seascape.
|
Website |
More Information
|
Macroecological theory predicts that along direct physiological gradients there will be unimodal abundance distributions of species and consistent rates of assemblage turnover. However, the majority of marine studies that have investigated the realised distribution of species along latitudinal or (...)

15:00 - SEMINAR - Classification and morphodynamics of perched beaches : SESE and Oceans Institute Seminar
|
More Information
|
Throughout the globe, beaches are underlain and fronted seaward by rock and coral landforms. In Western Australia, many of our beaches are perched on coral, limestone and granite reefs and platforms. These hardlandforms have a strong influence on cross-shore and longshore sediment transport (...)
16:00 - SEMINAR - Securing the future of the Great Barrier Reef : SESE and Oceans Institute Seminar
|
More Information
|
The Great Barrier Reef is a valuable natural asset that provides $6 billion per annum to the Australian economy and supports more than 50,000 jobs, primarily in tourism. It’s an irreplaceable resource, a national and international icon, and it is slowly declining. In the past 50years more than (...)

Title: Anchovy collapse in the Bay of Biscay: to eat or not to eat
Abstract:
Anchovy (Engraulis enchrasicolus) is one of the main resources of the Basquepurse seiner fleet in the Bay of Biscay, as well as a cultural item for thesociety. A succession of recruitment failures starting in (...)

16:00 - SEMINAR - Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Small Ponds: From Arctic to Western Australia : SESE and Oceans Institute Seminar
|
More Information
|
Lakes are now considered as significant greenhouse gas (GHG) conduits to the atmosphere. Small and shallow aquatic systems in particular such as ponds and wetlands can represent large GHG emitters as they generally contain high nutrients and organic carbon and have a small volume to area ratio (...)

South-western Australia was a part of Gondwanaland, and some of the most ancient parts of the Earth’ crust can be found here. Other parts of the landscape originated more recently from calcareous marine deposits [1]. Therefore, the soils of Western Australia are amongst the most heavily leached (...)

Title: The Past, Present and Future of Marine Protected Areas
Abstract:
Over the last few decades marine protected areas have emerged as a critical tool for the protection of marine species, habitats and ecosystems. Although this terminology is relatively new, the concept of setting (...)
