The Tasman Sea is unique ‐ characterised by a strong seasonal western boundary current that breaks down into complicated field of mesoscale eddies almost immediately after separating from the coast. Through 16‐year analysis eddies, we identify region along southeast Australian coast which name ‘Eddy Avenue’ where have higher sea level anomalies, faster rotation and greater surface temperature chlorophyll anomalies. density cyclonic anticyclonic within Eddy Avenue 23% 16% respectively than...
Zooplankton are the intermediate trophic level between phytoplankton and fish, an important component of carbon nutrient cycles, accounting for a large proportion energy transfer to pelagic fishes deep ocean. Given zooplankton's importance, models need adequately represent zooplankton dynamics. A major obstacle, though, is lack model assessment. Here we try stimulate assessment in by filling three gaps. The first that many observationalists unfamiliar with biogeochemical, ecosystem,...

Abstract The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is founded on reef-building corals. Corals build their exoskeleton with aragonite, but ocean acidification lowering the aragonite saturation state of seawater (Ω a ). downscaling projections from global to GBR scales requires set regional drivers controlling Ω be resolved. Here we use coupled circulation–biogeochemical model and observations estimate experienced by 3,581 reefs GBR, apportion contributions hydrological cycle, hydrodynamics metabolism...
Abstract. Skillful marine biogeochemical (BGC) models are required to understand a range of coastal and global phenomena such as changes in nitrogen carbon cycles. The refinement BGC through the assimilation variables calculated from observed in-water inherent optical properties (IOPs), phytoplankton absorption, is problematic. Empirically derived relationships between IOPs chlorophyll-a concentration (Chl a), total suspended solids (TSS) coloured dissolved organic matter (CDOM) have been...
eReefs is a comprehensive interoperable information platform that has been developed for the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) region to provide users with access improved environmental intelligence allowing them assess past, present, and future conditions, as well management options mitigate risks associated multiple sometimes competing uses of GBR. built upon an integrated system data, catchment marine models, visualisation, reporting decision support tools span entire GBR area. This communication...
On the iconic Great Barrier Reef (GBR), cumulative impacts of tropical cyclones, marine heatwaves and regular outbreaks coral-eating crown-of-thorns starfish (CoTS) have severely depleted coral cover. Climate change will further exacerbate this situation over coming decades unless effective interventions are implemented. Evaluating efficacy alternative in a complex system experiencing major can only be achieved through systems modelling approach. We evaluated combinations using reef...
Abstract The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is a globally significant coral reef system supporting productive and diverse ecosystems. GBR under increasing threat from climate change local anthropogenic stressors, with its general condition degrading over recent decades. In response to this, number of techniques have been proposed offset or ameliorate environmental changes. this study, we use coupled hydrodynamic-biogeochemical model the surrounding ocean simulate artificial alkalinisation (AOA) as...
Aims To compare the pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of FKB327, a biosimilar adalimumab, with European Union (EU)‐approved Humira US‐licensed after single subcutaneous doses in healthy subjects. Methods In randomized, double‐blind, parallel‐group study, 180 subjects received by injection 40 mg EU‐Humira, or US‐Humira, 1:1:1 ratio, stratified bodyweight. Pharmacokinetics, local tolerability, immunogenicity, adverse events, vital signs, electrocardiography laboratory...
Abstract Cumulative impacts assessments on marine ecosystems have been hindered by the difficulty of collecting environmental data and identifying drivers community dynamics beyond local scales. On coral reefs, an additional challenge is to disentangle relative influence multiple that operate at different stages ontogeny. We integrated life history, population dynamics, spatially explicit assess cumulative stressors across 2,300 km world’s largest reef ecosystem, Australia’s Great Barrier...
The uptake of nutrients (N and P) into coral reef communities is proposed to be limited by diffusion through concentration‐depleted boundary layers between the water organisms, or what termed “mass transfer limitation.” mass rate a physical limit nutrient uptake. Maximum rates highly rough biological surfaces have not yet been evaluated. Engineering correlations indicate that increased surface roughness should increase transfer, although it has difficult quantify living corals. In this...
[1] Swarms of the salp Thalia democratica periodically occur off southeast Australia following austral spring bloom phytoplankton. In October 2008 a filament upwelled water was advected south by adjacent East Australian Current and formed 30 km diameter cold-core eddy (CCE). The three-dimensional structure subsurface swarm T. within examined using both oblique vertical hauls an optical plankton counter (OPC) deployed on towed body. CCE displayed distinct uplift nutricline elevated...
The equilibration of rising atmospheric with the ocean is lowering in tropical waters by about 0.01 every decade. Coral reefs and ecosystems they support are regarded as one most vulnerable to acidification, threatening their long-term viability. In response this threat, different strategies for buffering impact acidification have been proposed. As experienced individual corals on a natural reef system depends many processes over time scales, efficacy these remains largely unknown. Here we...
