Research brief: How Arctic primary production will alter with climate change

September 8, 2021 4:42 pm Published by Comments Off on Research brief: How Arctic primary production will alter with climate change

Predicting how much primary production will further increase in the Arctic Ocean in coming decades depends on the interplay between the increase in light for primary producers, as the sea ice extent and thickness decrease, and the availability of food in the form of nutrients, such as nitrate, phosphate, and silica.

UTas01: Numerical simulation of physical and biogeochemical processes in the ocean near Australia

May 6, 2019 3:19 pm Published by Comments Off on UTas01: Numerical simulation of physical and biogeochemical processes in the ocean near Australia

In this project, the selected student will use a one-dimensional numerical ocean model to simulate and understand the physical and biogeochemical processes in the ocean near Australia. The student will utilise the long-term oceanographic measurements conducted at one of the National Reference Stations maintained by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (i.e., the Maria Island, the Port Hacking, and the Rottnest Island).
