Fingerprints of climate change found on ocean currents (Podcast 21 Feb 2012)
Oceanographers have identified a series of ocean hotspots around the world generated by strengthening wind systems that have driven oceanic currents, including the East Australian Current, polewards beyond their known boundaries. (8:56)
Giant water wall discovered riding the ocean currents (Podcast 14 Mar 2012)
Deep-diving ocean 'gliders' have revealed a 200-metre tall, 40 kilometre wide wall of undiluted Bass Strait water travelling hundreds of kilometres to the Indian Ocean.
CSIRO’s response to second volume of IPCC report (Podcast 06 Apr 2007)
Dr Chris Mitchell discusses the second volume of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report published in Brussels, in this four-and-a half minute podcast. (4:29)
Alien invaders are on the march (Podcast 22 May 2009)
While the implications of climate change for biodiversity have been widely recognised, the insidious effect of invasive alien species (IAS) on global biodiversity stays under the radar. (4:50)
The wind, climate change and the Southern oceans (Podcast 18 Feb 2008)
We all know that the oceans are warming, especially in our polar regions. But what role does wind play in raising surface, or deeper, ocean temperatures? A 15 year study of water temperature profiles undertaken by CSIRO, French and US scientists is revealing some surprising answers. (5:46)
Gone fishing - assessing marine ecosystems (Podcast 31 Jul 2009)
A global study by an international team of authors into the status of marine fisheries and ecosystems was recently completed after two years of intense research. (5:38)
Blue mussels lead to barnacle free boats (Podcast 11 Dec 2009)
New methods to reduce the growth of plants and animals on surfaces immersed in water, such as ship hulls, are being developed by a team of scientists from CSIRO. (4:24)
Barrier Reef bleaching (Podcast 09 Mar 2007)
Dr Peter Turner discusses a new tool which provides daily updates of the risk of ‘coral bleaching’ in the Great Barrier Reef in this five minute podcast. (5:16)
Beneath the waves of an interactive ocean (Podcast 17 Jun 2011)
CSIRO has developed a science-meets-game-engine website that allows users to interact with lifelike, three-dimensional animations of fish in their underwater environment. The site offers stories of the animals and illustrates aspects of CSIRO's tagging research. (6:59)
Surf’s up: new technology to forecast waves and currents (Podcast 23 Sep 2009)
New research into a laptop-based software system capable of interpreting near shore waves from radar, and providing several-day wave and current forecasts, could soon be making our beaches safer and assisting the Royal Australian Navy with amphibious landings. (5:27)
The effect of climate and weather on our oceans (Podcast 20 Feb 2007)
In this six-and-a-half-minute podcast, the former Chief of CSIRO’s Marine and Atmospheric Research division, Dr Greg Ayers discusses the topic of his 2007 Malcolm McIntosh Lecture – the complex relationship between oceans, climate and weather. (6:32)
Model predicts seafloor at risk by climate change (Podcast 19 Oct 2009)
CSIRO scientists have produced the first preliminary predictions of the potential impact of climate change on the Australian seabed. (5:28)
Coastal decision makers get the right advice (Podcast 14 May 2010)
A new collaboration aimed at translating science into practical applications for adapting to climate change, population growth and other coastal pressures will help decision makers better manage the Australian coast into the future. (4:33)
CSIRO’s role in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report (Podcast 09 Feb 2007)
Dr Penny Whetton from CSIRO’s Marine and Atmospheric Research (CMAR) discusses CSIRO’s role in this latest report in this podcast. (3:55)
Deep sea coral to reveal a history of climate change (Podcast 20 Jan 2009)
An American research vessel, the RV Thomas G. Thompson, has arrived back in Hobart after an expedition to collect deep-sea corals south of Tasmania. An un-manned deep-diving ‘Remotely Operated Vehicle’ (ROV) with a capacity to go as deep as 6000 metres was used to collect samples and data, and photograph and video areas of the ocean floor. (9:17)
Fish ear bones reveal effect of climate change (Podcast 27 Apr 2007)
The bones in the ears of some coastal and deep sea fish species in the south west Pacific show the effect of climate change. (5:24)
Great Barrier Reef under threat (Podcast 22 Feb 2007)
In this seven-minute podcast, Dr Arnold Dekker, from CSIRO’s Wealth from Oceans Flagship, discusses the threat to the Great Barrier Reef from flood run off. (7:23)
Queensland floods muddy the waters on marine life survival (Podcast 24 Jan 2011)
The impact of recent floods in Queensland doesn’t stop when the flood waters reach the sea. Marine ecosystems that we rely on for food, livelihoods, recreation and environmental value are being affected by flood plumes depositing sediment, debris, potential toxins and freshwater into coastal areas.
Getting a fix on the gulf oil slick (Podcast 08 Sep 2010)
CSIRO scientists have been testing prototype sensor technology in the Gulf of Mexico and helping monitor the leading edge of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. (5:29)
Great white shark’s incredible journey (Podcast 02 Nov 2006)
In this seven-minute podcast, CSIRO’s Mr Barry Bruce talks about a female great white shark who travelled thousands of kilometres around the Australian coast. (7:02)
Are handfish walking towards extinction? (Podcast 21 May 2010)
Nine new species of handfish have been described by CSIRO in research that highlights an urgent need to better understand and protect the diversity of life in Australia’s oceans. (5:33)
Stay-at-home fish prefer reef life (Podcast 09 Jul 2009)
New research shows that some fish species in Western Australia's Ningaloo Marine Park spend most of their time close to home, staying on the reef rather than travelling significant distances, as was previously thought. (4:55)
Climate change impacting on the Southern Ocean (Podcast 25 Mar 2009)
The Southern Ocean is changing, and evidence shows that around the Antarctic, the Southern Ocean is warming at a faster rate than the global ocean average. (4:46)
Countdown to Satellite Launch and new era of ocean research (Podcast 20 Jun 2008)
Teams of climate change researchers around the world will be anxiously counting down the launch of the Jason-2 satellite from California, scheduled for 20 June 2008. Successful lift-off will mean a whole new era in detecting the expansion of our oceans and sea level rise, both major indicators of climate change. (5.30)
Littlest ship an 'ocean science giant' (Podcast 15 Nov 2006)
Listen to Captain Evan Solly discuss the Kaharoa, a tiny New Zealand research vessel that is transforming the study of oceans and climate in the Southern Hemisphere, in this three-minute podcast. (3:17)
