SUMMARY:Exploring the edges: What our research is revealing about uncharted climate futures
DESCRIPTION:Access to high resolution climate data across Australia has transformed how we understand the risks ahead. Yet as researchers work with increasing levels of detail in the data\, they’re discovering important knowledge gaps; signals that suggest our current projections may not be capturing the full spectrum of possible futures. Understanding other plausible futures matters. Preparing Australia for climate risk means looking beyond the conventional outlooks and asking: what might we be missing? \nIn this upcoming webinar\, NESP Climate Systems Hub researchers will unpack what we know with confidence\, where uncertainties remain\, and why a range of possible futures should be considered. Participants will hear how scientists are exploring climate futures outside the currently modelled range\, and how this work is helping decision-makers think more broadly and plan more robustly. \nOur speakers will take a deeper dive into two critical emerging themes. First\, they’ll examine how real world observations of Pacific Ocean warming differ from modelled projections and what those differences may mean for Australia’s future climate. Second\, they’ll explore what current research tells us about global temperature overshoot scenarios and the implications for risk assessment and resilience planning. Together\, these perspectives offer a clearer\, more nuanced picture of the challenges we need to be ready for. \nJoin us for this important conversation and equip yourself with the latest thinking on Australia’s future climate.

SUMMARY:The future of Tasmania’s crowded ocean
DESCRIPTION:Join the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) for a discussion on the future of Tasmania’s crowded ocean. \nThe future of Tasmania’s crowded ocean\nPresented by the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering\, Australian Academy of Science and the Royal Society of Tasmania\, this event will bring together leading scientific experts to explore the rapid changes occurring in Tasmania’s marine environment and the implications for fisheries\, aquaculture\, coastal communities and the state’s economy. \nTasmania’s waters are warming faster then almost anywhere else in the Southern Hemisphere\, driving significant ecological and economic changes. Through expert presentations and discussion\, this event will examine the shifting marine ecosystem\, the increasing prevalence of harmful algal blooms and how science-based tools can help governments\, industries and communities prepare for the future. \nThe program will feature insights from: \n\nDr Alistar Hobday FTSE on the changing climate and changing activities around Tasmania.\nProfessor Gustaaf Hallegraeff FTSE on Harmful Algal Blooms – what are they and why do they seem to be on the rise?\nDr Beth Fulton FTSE FAA on what the future may look like for Tasmanian waters and how can science-based tools can help us prepare for it.

SUMMARY:6th Australia New Zealand Marine Biotechnology Society Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the 6th Australia New Zealand Marine Biotechnology Society Conference 2026 \nHosted by the University of Waikato – Tauranga\, where we will bring together over 200 experts\, researchers\, students and industry leaders to showcase the cutting-edge developments in marine biotechnology in Australia\, New Zealand\, the Asia–Pacific region and beyond. \nShowcasing Marine Biotechnology Success Stories\nInnovation in marine biotechnology is transforming the way we approach sustainability\, health\, climate change\, and the Blue Economy. Think compostable plastics made from seaweed\, new drug leads from the sea like Halaven (eribulin)\, seaweed-based solutions to reduce methane emissions in livestock\, or high-value natural products like marine collagen or fucoidans for use in cosmetics. \nAt the August 2026 conference\, we’ll be shining a spotlight on marine biotechnology success stories. Celebrating the inspiring individuals and teams who have taken their discoveries beyond the lab and into the real world. Join us as founders\, researchers\, and industry leaders share their journeys from concept to commercialisation including the challenges they’ve faced\, the breakthroughs they’ve achieved\, and the lessons learned along the way. \nThese stories showcase the diverse pathways within marine biotechnology\, from developing novel marine bioproducts and sustainable aquaculture solutions to advancing ocean-based pharmaceuticals\, biomaterials\, and environmental innovations.
