Dr Julian O’Grady (CSIRO) Overview Extreme sea levels caused by a combination of the tide, storm surge and waves have the potential to cause significant damage to coastal assets. For example, who can forget the dramatic images of the swimming pool sliding into the ocean on Sydney’s northern beaches caused by a storm in June 2016?... View Article

Jeff Good (University of Montana) Rapid environmental change threatens global biodiversity and has already led to the decline or extirpation of many taxa. Although phenotypic plasticity may enable populations to rapidly track changing climates, evolutionary adaptation will be essential for the long-term persistence of many species. Disentangling plasticity from evolutionary responses ultimately requires resolving the... View Article

Joan Llort Jordi (IMAS) Farewell Seminar: Decadal changes in Tasman Sea phytoplankton induced by atmospheric dust
Description Is gender a consideration for your program, project or research? Now is the time to reflect on this. Women are often portrayed as more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change in Asia and the Pacific, with less information available about how to respond and adapt. Some adaptation options may put a disproportionate burden... View Article
Speaker: Anna von der Heydt (Utrecht University) Climate sensitivity is a key predictor of climate change. However, it is not very well constrained, either by climate models, observational, historical or palaeoclimate data. This 'uncertainty' has its origin in different aspects: i) There is a classical uncertainty related to measurements or proxy estimates of temperature and... View Article
ANU 2019 Federal Election Panel Series Many of the enduring challenges in Australian domestic policy are seemingly intractable. How we respond - or don't respond - will shape our society for decades to come. How do we energise on critical domestic issues including Indigenous disadvantage, climate change and tax policy? How will the arts and... View Article
