Past events
Interdecadal Temperature Variability in Climate Model Simulations and Paleoclimate Data »
Dr Luke Parsons of the University of Washington will present an analysis of climate proxies and paleo-climate models to determine the strength of natural climate variability relative to anthropogenic forcing.
Melting ice shelves and iron-controlled primary productivity in the Amundsen Sea, West Antarctica »
Professor Sherrell discusses sources of iron across the Antarctic continental shelf that are critical to ecosystems within the Southern ocean. Observations are used to identify multiple sources of iron with different seasonal abundances and determine future responses of the system to climate forcing.
Rob Sherrell (Rutgers) »
Rob studies the biogeochemistry of trace metals in the modern ocean and uses this understanding to develop new geochemical palaeo-records of past ocean conditions. He is very active in the GEOTRACES programme, and has a strong focus on geochemical palaeo-proxy method development.
Climatic evolution in Australia spanning human occupancy over the last 55,000 years »
Climatic evolution in Australia spanning human occupancy over the last 55,000 years with particular reference to the broad context of the last glacial maximum
Some unique experiments using particle image velocimetry of high Reynolds number wall-bounded flows - Julio Soria (Monash) »
Some unique experiments using particle image velocimetry of high Reynolds number wall-bounded flows
Calcification of coralline algae in coral reefs: Mechanisms, patterns and environmental controls »
Dr Diaz-Pulido will present an analysis of the contribution of coralline algae on reef formation and the impact of climate forcing on this process.
Internal wave dynamics on the Australian Northwest Shelf (NWS) - Nicole L Jones »
Nicole's presentation will overview recent studies including interaction of internal tides on the slope and shelf, wave trains, and near-bed instabilities.
Differences in the rates and character of the last two glacial terminations - Ed Gasson (Bristol) »
Ed Gasson tells more about his recent work on modelling past ice sheets (and ice shelf) for the penultimate glacial period (MIS 6), and explores possible reasons for the differences between the two glacial terminations.
Linking turbulent convection to large-scale ocean dynamics »
Taimoor Sohail (RSES) will present his PhD Thesis work on turbulent convection and its impact on ocean circulation.
Geology @ ANU 60th Reunion »
Join us to celebrate the past, present and future of Geoscience at ANU This September come and celebrate our 60th Anniversary with our incredible alumni, current students and researchers. This event is about giving our alumni the chance to revisit campus, see the many changes, reunite with colleagues...
