Two days at sea |
| Published on the 20 Dec 2009 | |
| In December 2009, Dr. Scott Ling (former QMS student) and Prof. Craig Johnson published a research explaining that only the largest Tasmanian rock lobsters can constrain the invasive northern sea urchins. They invited me to follow them in one of their field trips. What do the marine biology scientists do when they leave their labs for fieldwork? Follow the slideshow. |

The world needs more modellers |
| Published on the 05 Dec 2009 | |
| Climate modellers have a precious skill: they can create scenarios of past and future worlds for use by science, environmental and resource managers. The problem, according to one of Australia’s leading ocean modellers CSIRO’s Dr Trevor McDougall, is there are not enough modellers to go around – in Australia or overseas. “Research institutions should be prepared for a talent war as demand for modelling skills outstrips availability,” Dr McDougall says. |
