Sustainable Living Festival, Disrupting fashion to save the world: Limiting global warming to 1.5°C.

Birrarung Marr Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Description It’s ‘climate crunch time’ and everything we care about (and rely on!) is now under threat. In February 2019, The Sustainable Living Festival – now in its 20th year – is making it a mission to present the very best discoveries to restore a safe climate as fast as humanly possible. How can fashion... View Article

Graeme MacGilchrist. Reframing the carbon cycle of the subpolar Southern Ocean.

Hales Seminar Room Jaeger 7, 142 Mills road, RSES, Acton, ACT, Australia

Graeme MacGilchrist (University of Princeton). Reframing the carbon cycle of the subpolar Southern Ocean. Global climate is critically sensitive to physical and biogeochemical dynamics in the subpolar Southern Ocean, since this is where the deepest, most carbon-rich layers of the world ocean outcrop and exchange carbon with the atmosphere. Here, we show that the conventional... View Article

Caroline Ummenhofer. Changes in the width of the Indo-Pacific tropical rain belt from climate model simulations and palaeo proxy records

Jaeger 1 Seminar Room Research School of Earth Sciences, 142 Mills Rd, Acton, ACT, Australia

Caroline Ummenhofer (Wood Hole Oceanographic Institute). Changes in the width of the Indo-Pacific tropical rain belt from climate model simulations and palaeo proxy records. The Indo-Pacific tropical rain belt (TRB) marks the high-rainfall region in the tropics traversed by the seasonal migration of the intertropical convergence zone. In particular, changes in the position of the northward... View Article

Seminar: Francois Primeau – Convergent Estimates of Marine Nitrogen Fixation

RC-4082, The Red Centre RC4082, The Red Centre, UNSW, NSW, Australia

Prof. Primeau will present an inverse model to constrain the residual mean circulation of the ocean and to estimate rates of marine nitrogen fixation. The results demonstrate strong spatial variability in the nitrogen to phosphorus ratio of exported organic matter that greatly increases the global nitrogen-fixation rate.
