Funded Activity Summary

Destratification and mixing by boundary turbulence in oceans and rivers. Periods of high temperature heat the surfaces of the oceans and lowland rivers, thereby increasing stratification and inhibiting mixing. This undermines the processes that normally distribute heat and CO2 and can lead to processes like rapid destratification in rivers that can result in mass fish-kills. This project aims to reveal the mixing and destratification mechanisms driven by turbulence from wind and sudden temperature change in oceanic and riverine systems through controlled laboratory experiments, targeted field measurements and theoretical modelling. Outcomes will include physical understanding, predictive models, and practical tools for waterway management, with the potential for better management of our riverine systems.
