Take the plunge and delve into the mysteries of the marine environment. Spanning atmospheric modelling and climate change impacts, to spying on seabirds, hear from the ocean experts. The kitchen will be open for dinner.
A year in the sub-Antarctic: Marion Island
Mrs Paige Green
(Research Assistant, University of Tasmania - Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies)
Imagine spending a whole winter on Marion Island as a seabird field biologist working for the Oceans and Coasts branch of the South African government. It was life changing, spectacular and breath taking (in more ways than one!).

The impact of climate change on the ocean
Dr Andrew Lenton
(Principal Research Scientist, CSIRO / ACE CRC / CSHOR)
We all get that climate change has the potential to lead to significant shifts in the marine environment. Can we predict the future? We'll look at scenarios under different levels of climate change based on earth system model projections.
