A marine current affair

A free online modelling tool that simulates the movement of oil spills and fish spawning is attracting a surprising range of users.

Beating the eucalypt blues – new ways to model air quality

Australia is obliged to report on pollution levels. How we model these levels can be improved.

New software to help protect Australia from wind-borne threats

Wind helps the spread of some serious environmental pests within Australia, and now a new online tool for modelling the dispersal of living organisms is helping prepare for and respond to these wind-borne threats.

Cost-effective conservation helps species bounce back from brink

A new approach to help ecosystems bounce back after human disturbances was applied to a simulated disaster at Ningaloo Reef, and is applicable for decision-makers in other marine and terrestrial contexts.

Explainer: the models that help us predict climate change

What will the weather be like next week, next season, or by the end of the century? In the absence of a second Earth to use in an experiment, global weather and climate model simulations are the only tools we have to answer these questions.
