Science webinar: Australia’s boundary current pathways to the deep ocean

Overview The ocean has absorbed 93% of global warming heat. This service by the ocean to life on Earth has not been without consequence. The oceans are warming rapidly, ocean species are being displaced and sea level rise threatens many coastal communities. The pathway for heat to enter the deep ocean is primarily through dense...

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

Birrarung Marr Melbourne

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

Seminar: Loss of fixed nitrogen causes net oxygen gain in a warmer future ocean.

Climate Change Research Centre (CCRC) 4th Floor, Matthews Building, UNSW, Kensington

Andreas Oschlies (GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research). Oceanic anoxic events have been associated with warm climates in Earth history, and there are concerns that current ocean deoxygenation may eventually lead to anoxia. On the contrary, results of a multi-millennial global-warming simulation reveal, after a transitory deoxygenation, a marine oxygen inventory 6% higher than preindustrial... View Article
