Summary
Ultra-trace analytical facility for earth system change . A new cutting-edge research capability will be established to safe guard Australia's natural resources and environment and to determine past variability in climate. Research results from the facility will help to guide national and international policy makers with regards to sustainable development and management of resources.
Deep-sea coral records of Southern Ocean climate and nutrient dynamics . Deep-sea coral and seawater nutrient profiles collected from the Southern Ocean (SO) facing submarine canyons of south-west Australia will be used to provide new insights into the role of the SO overturning circulation in modulating global climate as well as supplying the essential nutrients that make these canyons biodiversity hot-spots for seasonal aggregations of killer and blue whales. This frontier project made possib ....Deep-sea coral records of Southern Ocean climate and nutrient dynamics .

This frontier project made possible by samples collected using Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) technology rarely available in Australia, will also help to understand how SO circulation has influenced past changes in global climate and its future role in controlling ocean productivity in a warming world with rapidly increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide.

Summary
Managing land surface radiation management to reduce the intensity of heat waves. This project aims to use land surface radiation management to reduce the intensity of heat waves. Heat waves have high social, environmental, and economic effects, and their intensity will increase. Using climate models, this project will examine how altering current land management practices could change properties of soils and vegetation to reduce the intensity of heat waves. The expected outcomes of this project ....Managing land surface radiation management to reduce the intensity of heat waves. This project aims to use land surface radiation management to reduce the intensity of heat waves. Heat waves have high social, environmental, and economic effects, and their intensity will increase. Using climate models, this project will examine how altering current land management practices could change properties of soils and vegetation to reduce the intensity of heat waves. The expected outcomes of this project are information on adaptation to the increasing intensity of heat waves in Australia, which will be applicable globally.Read moreRead less
