High resolution warm ocean records from laminated sediment. This project will produce environmental records during ocean warming events in the geologic past to reveal processes associated with warm oceans similar to those anticipated in the coming century. New Australian technology allows investigation of sediment records at unprecedented time resolution providing insight into processes operating on societally relevant time scales of decades to centuries. This work will open an archive of climat ....High resolution warm ocean records from laminated sediment. This project will produce environmental records during ocean warming events in the geologic past to reveal processes associated with warm oceans similar to those anticipated in the coming century. New Australian technology allows investigation of sediment records at unprecedented time resolution providing insight into processes operating on societally relevant time scales of decades to centuries. This work will open an archive of climate information revealing feedback, thresholds and tipping points from past events previously inaccessible because of technical and conceptual limitations. It will provide critical inputs into models predicting future climate and to illuminate the risks and compensating feedbacks occurring with warming.

The Ocean Drilling Program is supported by 21 countries. Australia contributes as a 1/3 member of a consortium with Canada, Chinese Taipei, Korea. The drillship JOIDES Resolution is the unique facility allowing researchers access to the environmental and geological data recorded in the seafloor.
In 2002 the JOIDES Resolution will be drilling sites of international importance in the study of the deep biosphere; deep sea gas hydrates; oceanic crust generation and evolution (utilising real time geochemical and geophysical experiments in the crust); and past ocean circulation, sea surface temperature and productivity. Fourteen Australian Universities, CSIRO and AGSO support ODP and provide scientists for pre- and post-drilling research and postgraduate training.

2003 is the final year of the Program. The ship, during this historic year, will be drilling sites of international importance in the study of oceanic crust generation; past extreme climates linked to mass extinctions; past ocean chemistry and circulation; and the formation of continental margins. Fourteen Australian Universities, CSIRO and AGSO support ODP and provide scientists for pre- and post-drilling research and postgraduate training.

Dynamics of carbonate sands and morphodynamics of coral reef environments. Coral reefs are mainly composed of mobile sedimentary deposits that influence the living regions of the coral reefs. Using sites on Australia's Great Barrier Reef, the project will learn how, why and how fast sand advances, and will predict how these processes will change in response to predicted rises in sea levels.

Island resilience to tropical cyclones and rising sea levels. This project aims to produce a dynamic model to address the global problem of low-lying island inundation following high-energy events, such as tropical cyclones and storm surges. These events threaten coastal habitats and biodiversity, and in worst cases, displace human populations. The model will identify islands at risk to inundation thereby enabling governments to adopt appropriate mitigation and/or adaptation strategies to impr ....Island resilience to tropical cyclones and rising sea levels.

These events threaten coastal habitats and biodiversity, and in worst cases, displace human populations. The model will identify islands at risk to inundation thereby enabling governments to adopt appropriate mitigation and/or adaptation strategies to improve outcomes for island economic, societal and biological values.Read moreRead less

Summary
Single-grain optically-stimulated luminescence and dosimetry instruments to service the Sydney metropolitan and greater New South Wales region. This equipment will support projects that address significant environmental challenges in Australia, such as climate change and variability, coastal management and sustainable river and water management, and that assess the impacts and consequences of these challenges for populations living in environmentally sensitive areas.

This equipment will support projects that address significant environmental challenges in Australia, such as climate change and variability, coastal management and sustainable river and water management, and that assess the impacts and consequences of these challenges for populations living in environmentally sensitive areas. These projects will build on established collaborations in Australia, Antarctica and the south-west Pacific and encourage new collaborations with south-east Asian, Egyptian and Argentinean researchers, which will promote Australian research on a world stage. The use of this equipment will also pioneer new dating methodologies to further enhance Australia's place at the forefront of geochronology.Read moreRead less
