Australia’s marine ecosystems are under high risk from climate change, largely due to increased ocean temperatures. The ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes is undertaking research that will ultimately improve predictions of ocean conditions around Australia. To ensure that our research is useful to industries impacted by climate change, our researchers and knowledge brokers are engaging with various industry stakeholders. In 2021, researchers from our Ocean Extremes research program engaged with the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources, Austral Fisheries and ShellMAP. We are continuing to draw on these partnerships and identify new possibilities for collaboration with industry.

A monster eddy current is spinning into existence off the coast of Sydney. Will it bring a new marine heatwave?
What happens to eddies? Like atmospheric systems, these are effectively heat engines. They transport heat to new areas as they whirl in the ocean.
