The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Southern Ocean nutrients and their links to climate change: insights from the isotope and elemental signature of diatoms and sponges. It is not possible to respond effectively to climate change and variability associated with increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide without understanding the role that marine phytoplankton play in the uptake and sequestering of carbon dioxide. The proposed research will lead to a greater understanding of how nutrients such as silica have limited phytoplankton grow ....Southern Ocean nutrients and their links to climate change: insights from the isotope and elemental signature of diatoms and sponges. It is not possible to respond effectively to climate change and variability associated with increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide without understanding the role that marine phytoplankton play in the uptake and sequestering of carbon dioxide. The proposed research will lead to a greater understanding of how nutrients such as silica have limited phytoplankton growth, and ultimately the role the ocean plays in the sequestration of carbon dioxide over time. Such knowledge will benefit possible ocean-based carbon dioxide mitigation strategies, i.e. ocean fertilisation to stimulate ocean productivity and carbon dioxide drawdown.Read moreRead less
The stability and predictability of the Southern Hemisphere coupled ocean-atmosphere climate system. Our ability to adapt to and manage the effects of a changing climate is limited by our understanding of the ocean's response to changes in the atmospheric circulation. This project will establish the basis for the predictability of the climate system and provide state-of-the-art forecasts for climate adaptation.
Remote forcing of Pacific Ocean variability and impacts on global climate. Variability in the Pacific Ocean has a profound impact on global climate. Recent unprecedented decadal variability in the Pacific has been linked to global temperature trends and extremes, yet little is known about what drives this variability or its impact on regional climate. This project will combine observations, advanced coupled climate models and ocean-atmosphere dynamical theory to quantify remote drivers of Pacifi ....Remote forcing of Pacific Ocean variability and impacts on global climate. Variability in the Pacific Ocean has a profound impact on global climate. Recent unprecedented decadal variability in the Pacific has been linked to global temperature trends and extremes, yet little is known about what drives this variability or its impact on regional climate. This project will combine observations, advanced coupled climate models and ocean-atmosphere dynamical theory to quantify remote drivers of Pacific Ocean variability on interannual-decadal time-scales. This project aims to enhance our understanding of the modes of variability operating in this region and their impact on global and Australian climate. This will have significant benefits for the many sectors of society reliant on interseasonal-decadal climate prediction.Read moreRead less
