The Western Rock Lobster industry is undergoing a transformative digital evolution designed to deliver lasting benefits to fishers, government, industry, and local communities alike. For fishers, innovative tools like AI-driven planning, digital logbooks, and real-time data sharing facilitates greater data-driven...

Large data pre-trained neural networks have shown outstanding performance on downstream tasks in computer vision and natural language understanding. Such foundation models are rapidly transforming the way we address challenges in the design, development and deployment of neural network systems....

Predicting ocean dynamics on the North West Shelf (NWS) of Western Australia remains a significant challenge, largely due to the complex interplay between hydrodynamics and wave processes. Surface turbulence and mixing, influenced by wave dynamics, affect variables such as sea...

Artificial intelligence and Machine Learning are fast becoming integrated into all facets of our daily lives and so it would appear reasonable to make use of this technology to improve operations forecasting the marine environment. The ability for this approach...

We are developing the next-generation ACCESS-OM3 (ocean numerical model) suite, featuring state-of-the-art ocean and sea ice models (MOM6 and CICE6), optionally coupled to surface waves (WaveWatch III) and ocean biogeochemistry (WOMBAT-lite) models, with global resolutions of 100km, 25km, 8km and...

Lyndon Llewellyn, John Gunn, and Rebecca Zitoun National Marine Science Committee Australian marine science benefited greatly from Australia’s first National Marine Science Strategy 2015-25, motivating the dozens of institutions that currently constitute the National Marine Science Committee (NMSC) to develop...

The Australian National Coastal Ocean Modelling System (ANCOMS) is a community-driven initiative to deliver a next-generation, nationally coordinated capability for coastal and shelf-scale ocean prediction in response to the NMSP 2015-2025 R4 and as a FOO working group. Over the...

There’s enough evidence to show that excellent forecasts or warnings do not provide excellent value unless they travel “the last mile” to the decision maker who understands the information and is therefore enabled to make an appropriate decision. The “last...
