An undercover sting operation has exposed a Saudi Arabian government plan to artificially raise global oil demand just days before climate crisis talks begin in the UAE, Channel 4 News can reveal.

Humbled and honoured to have been awarded the Clarke Medal and Lectureship in Earth Sciences for 2023 by the Royal Society of NSW Science is a collective effort and I recognize all the hard work of my talented team and colleagues that has contributed to our success.

Such a fantastic achievement. We are thrilled to be part of this team.

What happens when a historic year of rainfall dumps a bunch of freshwater into the ocean next to a western boundary current? In Nature Communications today, Prof Moninya Roughan, Michael Hemming, Tim Ingleton and I look at the impact of the 2022 East Australian floods on the ocean nature.com/articles/s4146…

It turns out it hangs around for a surprisingly long time. We used a combination of moorings, gliders and remote sensing to define an observational extremes framework for salinity. This allowed us to track the extent and longevity of freshwater plumes associated with floodwaters

Gliders showed extreme low salinity waters extended more than 70km offshore and persisted for months. We observed a vertical double-stacking phenomena with two layers of fresher water extending deeper than 50m. Stratification was controlled by salinity rather than temperature.

Congratulations to Prof Moninya Roughan, recipient of the 2023 Clarke Medal 2023 from the Royal Society of NSW, the oldest learned society in the Southern Hemisphere. Prof Moninya Roughan follows in the footsteps of Douglas Mawson in receiving this prestigious award! UNSW UNSWOceanography

Breaking waves are crucial for connecting the ocean with the atmosphere. But how are they modified by wind? In our latest paper, just posted to arXiv, PhD candidate Dan Boettger examines wave breaking under wind forcing in a numerical wave tank. arxiv.org/abs/2402.14106

It's been a rather rainy week here in Sydney, it felt a lot like the record rains of 2022. So I plotted up the data and wow! This week has been an almost perfect match with April 2022. However, in 2022 we had already received an entire year's worth of rainfall by this stage.
