Media release: Sharks’ hunting ability destroyed under climate change
The hunting ability and growth of sharks will be dramatically impacted by increased CO2 levels and warmer oceans expected by the end of the century, a University of Adelaide study has found. Published in the journal Scientific Reports, marine ecologists from the University of Adelaide’s Environment Institute report long-term experiments that show warmer waters and […]

The oceans are changing too fast for marine life to keep up
Associate Professor Ivan Nagelkerken from the University of Adelaide’s Environment Institute recently wrote an article for The Conversation discussing the results of a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. The study that he undertook with colleague Professor Sean Connell analysed over 600 experiments world wide to identify patterns in the impact of ocean […]

Media release: Global marine analysis suggests food chain collapse
A world-first global analysis of marine responses to climbing human CO2 emissions has painted a grim picture of future fisheries and ocean ecosystems. Published today in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), marine ecologists from the University of Adelaide say the expected ocean acidification and warming is likely to produce a […]

Inspire Australia Research Competition
The Environment Institute congratulates PhD student, Tullio Rossi for receiving 3rd prize in the Inspire Australia Research Competition for his video, “Lost at sea”. Tullio is a marine biologist studying the effects of ocean acidification on fish behaviour, with particular focus on sound-driven orientation. His research for the video was conducted as part of his […]

Underwater vents allow peek into the future
Associate Professor Ivan Nagelkerken, a marine ecologist from the University of Adelaide’s Environment Institute was recently interviewed by WIRED about his research into ocean acidification. Carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere is being absorbed by the sea, making the oceans increasingly more acidic. Associate Professor Nagelkerken’s research involved studying underwater vents where carbon dioxide is […]

Podcast: Forecasting ocean acidification
What will our oceans of the future look like? Associate Professor Ivan Nagelkerken from the University of Adelaide spoke to Radio Adelaide‘s Sarah Martin about his research looking at fish behaviour and marine habitat around carbon dioxide vents in a bid to forecast how marine environments respond to future increases in carbon dioxide. Listen to […]

Underwater study reveals effects of ocean acidification
Associate Professor Ivan Nagelkerken from the University of Adelaide’s Environment Institute was interviewed by The Lead about his research into the effects of ocean acidification on marine environments. The research undertaken by Ivan Nagelkerken, Bayden Russell, Bronwyn Gillanders and Sean Connell, has been published in Nature Climate Change. The study details how predicted ocean acidification from climate […]

Media release: Volcanic vents preview future ocean habitats
A world-first underwater study of fish in their natural environment by University of Adelaide marine ecologists has shown how predicted ocean acidification from climate change will devastate temperate marine habitats and biodiversity. Published today in the journal Nature Climate Change, the researchers used natural CO2 underwater seeps to study how entire ecosystems have been impacted […]

Conserving the seascape nursery
Mangroves and other coastal ecosystems are important nurseries for recreational and commercial finfish and shellfish species. Yet almost half of the global coverage of mangrove has been lost due to humans. To sustain their important ecosystem services adequate management is needed. However, evaluation of their nursery role for management purposes is largely based on protecting […]
