Bluewater and Climate

The Bluewater and Climate research community includes Australian scientists tackling a wide range of issues of direct relevance to the nation, including: climate change and its impacts; sea-level rise; changes in the global water cycle; seasonal to interannual climate variability; ocean carbon uptake and acidification; biodiversity; and management of marine resources and ecosystems.  The Bluewater and Climate Node is also closely integrated with national and international research efforts; in particular, the open ocean observations collected by IMOS are the primary data streams used by Australia’s climate and ocean circulation research communities.
