Research brief: The path to a sustainable future using marine-based mitigation measures

September 27, 2021 1:55 pm Published by Comments Off on Research brief: The path to a sustainable future using marine-based mitigation measures

In this paper, as part of the Future Seas project, the researchers built upon previous work by using a foresighting scenario analysis technique to envision two alternative possible futures for society by 2030, in the context of the challenge of climate change adaptation and mitigation.

Research brief: Climate change to cost Pacific tuna fisheries millions

September 8, 2021 4:09 pm Published by Comments Off on Research brief: Climate change to cost Pacific tuna fisheries millions

Using model simulations of the movement of tuna distributions across the tropical Pacific subject to projected ocean changes, the researchers found that without strong mitigation efforts, tuna distributions are likely to shift away from island fishing zones.

Research brief: How climate change impacts Marine heatwaves around Australia and New Zealand

March 15, 2021 10:10 am Published by Comments Off on Research brief: How climate change impacts Marine heatwaves around Australia and New Zealand

This study uses a high‐resolution climate model to investigate how and why marine heatwaves would change for the Australian region. The relative impacts of increases on background ocean temperature and changes to intrinsic temperature variations are compared.

Record Breakers: What causes the longest, largest and most intense ocean heatwaves

November 17, 2020 11:31 am Published by Comments Off on Record Breakers: What causes the longest, largest and most intense ocean heatwaves

In a new study published in Nature Scientific Reports, a group of oceanographers, atmospheric scientists, ecologists and fisheries experts got together to identify the most severe marine heatwaves over recent decades. The objective was to understand what triggered these events and led to their ultimate demise.

Amelie Meyer is taking part in the Future Seas project, joining a workshop that will result in a series of papers for Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries journal.

Research brief: Marine heatwaves increase around Tasmania

April 30, 2018 1:59 am Published by Comments Off on Research brief: Marine heatwaves increase around Tasmania

Centre of Excellence researchers have identified 12 marine heatwave types off the east coast of Tasmania, a location recognised as a global warming hotspot. Here the average sea surface temperatures here have been rising at four times the global average and trends in marine heatwaves are showing significant increases in number.
