Our experts refute River Murray estuary claims

A team of scientists, led by the University of Adelaide’s Associate Professor John Tibby, has confirmed that the lower River Murray was not an estuary in the mid-Holocene period (more than 7000 years ago) – reinforcing scientific evidence likely to influence important river management policy decisions. Their new paper, published in the Nature journal Scientific […]

The dating lives of sea snakes

New research shows male sea snakes can locate and mate with a female mate, through touch receptors. After decades of research, the remarkable morphological adaptations of sea snakes to aquatic life, which include paddle-shaped tails, salt-excreting glands, and the ability to breathe through their skin have been revealed. In a new study published in Biological […]

Research featured in ‘Science’ finds climate change key factor in rivers running dry

An international team of researchers including the University of Adelaide has demonstrated that climate change is responsible for the changes in the flow and water volume of rivers globally, with major implications for Australia. In the study published in Science, the team investigated changes in river flow, and whether the globally visible changes could be attributed to […]

New Paper in Science – The last interglacial Iberian Neandertals as fisher-hunter-gatherers

University of Adelaide researchers join an international team to question Neanderthals behaviour. A paper published in Science today involving University of Adelaide researchers A/Prof. Lee Arnold and Dr Martina Demuro provides new insights into Neanderthal subsistence strategies and further questions the behavioural gap once thought to separate Neanderthals from contemporaneous Homo sapiens groups. The study […]

Hundreds of threatened species not on official US list

New research from the University of Adelaide has shown that many of the animal species at risk of extinction in the United States have not made it onto the ­­country’s official Endangered Species Act (ESA) list. The ESA is one of the best known national lists and arguably the world’s most effective biodiversity protection law. […]

New Paper: Seaweed Communities in Retreat from Ocean Warming

Several Environment Institute Researchers have been involved with a new study which has found that the warming ocean climate is causing seaweed communities, on which fauna survive, to retreat to the brink of the continent and possibly extinction. The results were published in the latest edition of Current Biology, and Dr Bayden Russell, Dr Fred […]

New CET Publication

Adam Langman and Gus Nathan from the CET recently published a paper in Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science. The title of the paper is ‘Influence of a combustion-driven oscillation on global mixing in the flame from a refinery flare’. An assessment of the influence of strong combustion-driven oscillations on mixing rates and visible radiation in […]
