Bluewater and Climate
The Bluewater and Climate Node community brings together the Australian science research community, industry and government partners addressing issues of national importance, including climate change and its impacts, such as ocean carbon uptake and acidification, sea-level rise and changes in the global water cycle, seasonal to interannual climate variability and extreme weather events, biodiversity and ecosystems, and the sustainable management of marine resources.
Closely integrated with national and international research efforts, the open ocean observations collected by IMOS are a primary data source for Australia’s climate and ocean research communities to support the management of the blue economy and contribute to global climate science.
