Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement: Implications for phytoplankton community dynamics and silicate dissolution

Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) is an emerging carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategy that leverages the natural processes of weathering and acid neutralisation to durably store atmospheric CO2 in seawater. OAE can be achieved with a variety of methods, all of which have different environmental implications. One widely considered method utilizes electrochemistry to remove strong acid from seawater, leaving sodium hydroxide (NaOH) behind. This study evaluates the impacts of OAE via NaOH (NaOH-OAE) on a coastal plankton bloom, with particular focus on how macronutrient regeneration in the aftermath of the bloom responds to the perturbation. To investigate this, we enclosed a natural coastal phytoplankton community, including coccolithophores, in nine microcosms. The microcosms were divided into three groups: control, unequilibrated (512.1 ± 2.5 µmol kg-1 alkalinity increase) and equilibrated (499.3 ±5.65 µmol kg-1 alkalinity increase). Light was provided for 11 days to stimulate a bloom (light phase) and lights were turned off thereafter to investigate alkalinity and nutrient changes for 21 days (dark phase). We found no detectable effect of equilibrated NaOH-OAE on phytoplankton community and bacteria abundances determined with flow cytometry but observed a small yet detectable restructuring of phytoplankton communities under unequilibrated conditions. NaOH-OAE had no significant effect on alkalinity, NOx- and phosphate regeneration, but increased silicate regeneration by 64% over 21 days under darkness in the unequilibrated treatments where seawater pH was highest (8.65 relative to 7.92 in the control). Additional dissolution experiments with two diatom species supported this outcome on silicate regeneration for one of the two species, thereby suggesting that the effect is species specific. Our results point towards the potential of NaOH-OAE to influence regeneration of silicate in the surface ocean and thus the growth of diatoms, at least under the very extreme NaOH-OAE conditions simulated here.

NESP MB Project D1 - National data collation, synthesis and visualisation to support sustainable use, management and monitoring of marine assets

This record provides an overview of the scope and research output of the NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub project "National data collation, synthesis and visualisation to support sustainable use, management and monitoring of marine assets". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.

Effective management of marine assets requires an understanding of ecosystems and the processes that influence patterns of biodiversity. Focusing on the North and North-west regions, this project will leverage previous research to improve ecosystem understanding through a synthesis of existing information and by making testable predictions about the character and extent of conservation values, including for key ecological features (KEFs) and Commonwealth Marine Reserves. End-users and stakeholders will benefit from improved regional descriptions of marine ecosystems and uncertainty statements. In turn, this will inform prioritisation of future investments in monitoring marine ecosystems and State of the Environment reporting. 

Planned Outputs
• A report on the synthesis (based on collations completed in 2015) of datasets and models for the North and NW identifying areas of greatest information coverage, gaps and themed to CMRs and KEFs in those regions. This report will also describe key spatial patterns in biodiversity (benthic and pelagic) and associations between benthic environments, fish and megafauna and large scale processes (e.g. oceanography).
• Predictions and related products (maps) of the spatial distribution of biodiversity across the Oceanic Shoals CMR that encompasses benthic habitat, pelagic and demersal fish and megafauna communities. This will provide an example/test case at the National Prioritisation Workshop of how confidently predictive modelling can be used to describe assets and values in data poor areas to inform management and monitoring. 
• An updated conceptual model of ecosystem processes (benthic and pelagic) within the Oceanic Shoals CMR based on extension of modelling into pelagics.
• A review of existing knowledge of the Ancient Coastline KEF.
• A qualitative model of Glomar Shoal KEF (to be confirmed in consultation with DOE).
• Communication products that capture activities and general interest stories of scientific results disseminated through NW Atlas social media links.
• Upload of new relevant spatial data layers in NW Atlas for management and planning, and engagement with end users to maximize uptake of the NW Atlas products.

NESP MaC Project 5.6 - Synthesis of environmental values to support the review of Australian Marine Park management plans (IMAS)

This record provides an overview of the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub project "Synthesis of environmental values to support the review of Australian Marine Park management plans". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.

Parks Australia (Australian Government) manage 60 Australian Marine Parks (AMPs) around the country, covering an area of 3.8 million square kilometres, or 43% of all Australian waters. The approach to managing AMPs is set out in eight Management Plans, one for each of the five marine park networks (North, North-west, South-west, South-east and Temperate East) and one each for the Coral Sea Marine Park, Christmas Island Marine Park and Cocos (Keeling) Islands Marine Park. A statutory review of Management Plans for the North, North-west, South-west, Temperate-East networks and the Coral Sea Marine Park is scheduled for 2028. This review requires accessible, synthesised evidence on science outputs, natural values, socio-economic values and pressures across parks and networks.

This project supports the 2028 statutory review by synthesising relevant NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub, NESP Marine and Coastal Hub, and Parks Australia-contracted work from 2017 onwards. These reports bring together science outputs, natural values, pressures and socio-economic information from 2017 onwards, aggregated where possible to Park and Network scales.

The project reviewed the data summaries, workflows and reporting tools used to prepare the synthesis reports, and identified opportunities to better integrate this infrastructure. These recommendations support future AMP management effectiveness reporting, statutory review processes, and national environmental assessment and impact reporting.

Outputs
 •  Catalogue of available data for each reviewed Network (North, North-west, South-west, Temperate East) and the Coral Sea AMP [data inventory]
 •  Synthesis report [written] for each region that will include:
     - a summary of science activity and outputs since 2017
     - summaries of the state and trend of Natural Values and Pressures since 2017, aggregated by Ecosystem Component, Ecosystem Depth Zone, AMP, and AMP Zone type (where possible)
•   Final technical report (including recommendations to support AMP management and reporting) [written]

Satellite-Derived Bathymetry and Seafloor Habitat Classification Mapping of Christmas Island Marine Park

Parks Australia - Indian Oceans Territory (IOT) Grants Project: Satellite-Derived Bathymetry and Seafloor Habitat Classification Mapping of Christmas Island Marine Park

This project mapped Satellite-derived Bathymetry (SDB) and seafloor habitats at 2m horizontal spatial resolution, for the shallow waters (~0-25 m) of Christmas Island Marine Park. SDB data was processed using EOMAP's proprietary software and algorithm package Watcor-X, which generates SDB using multipspectral satellite data. The SDB is based on the physics-based inversion method of the radiative transfer equation which models the pathway of light and its interaction through different media (e.g. atmosphere and water column). The thematic classification of the seabed was based on multispectral satellite image analytics. Satellite imagery was pre-processed by applying a set of image correction procedures to reduce environmental noise, resulting in a standardised reflectance surface of the subsurface and seafloor. The information on seafloor reflectance at different wavelengths was used to run an object-based classification procedure which groups objects of similar spectral characteristics, shape and texture into different classes of major seafloor habitat type.

These critical geospatial data layers provide the essential environmental baseline information for the long-term monitoring and management of the IOT Marine Parks. Having access to digital, georeferenced, high-resolution, satellite-derived maps of bathymetry and benthic habitats of shallow water areas, is of fundamental use in the areas of navigation and safety-at-sea, ecological research, environmental modelling, management and conservation, and monitoring the impacts from climate change.

Petrological and Geophysical Characterization of Exhumed Subcontinental Mantle from the Australian-Antarctic Ocean-Continent Transition Zone

The final lithospheric breakup of the Australian-Antarctic rift system remains controversial due to sparse geological constraints on the nature of the basement along the ocean-continent transition zones. We present new interpretations of multichannel seismic reflection transects, as well as new petrological data of dredged mantle rocks along the East Antarctic margin (Seamount B, offshore Terre Adélie). By combining both datasets, we show that a 50–100 km wide domain of cold (900°C), fertile subcontinental mantle was exhumed along the non-volcanic Antarctic margin. The dredged peridotites preserve characteristics similar to mantle xenoliths found in syn- to post-rift volcanism at the eastern end of the Australian margin (Victoria and Tasmania), indicating the sampling of a common fertile subcontinental mantle during rifting between Australia and Antarctica. Seamount B represents the initial stages of exhumation of cold subcontinental lithosphere along an ocean-continent transition during rifting. This thick mantle domain was likely affected by syn-rift melt impregnation at high-pressure (8 kbar), leading to the formation of plagioclase-pyroxenites. Overall, the combination of continental rifted blocks, a 50-100 km wide domain of volcanic-poor subcontinental mantle and (ultra)-slow spreading implies that ocean-continent transition zones along the Australian-Antarctic margins represent a recent analogue to ocean continent transition zones from the Jurassic Western Tethys. Additionally, evidence of syn-rift melt stagnation at high pressure suggests that magmatism along the Australian-Antarctic rifted margins was sufficient to form magnetic anomalies that can be used as isochrons despite their formation in lithosphere other than mature, steady-state ocean crust.

Atmospheric Science Data Collection from the Denman Marine Voyage of the RSV Nuyina, 2025

These data were collected on voyage 3 of the RSV Nuyina in the 2024/2025 season. The voyage was colloquially known as the "Denman Marine Voyage", as it operated in the vicinity of the Denman Glacier.

This dataset provides detailed measurements of aerosol particle microphysical properties of particle number size distribution using a Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS), total particle number concentration using a Condensation Particle Counter (CPC) model number 3776 and 3772 for diameters greater than 3 and 10 nm, respectively, and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) number concentration using a CCN counter, profiles of the vertical thermodynamic structure (temperature, pressure, relative humidity, wind direction/speed) using radiosondes, and remote sensing of microphysical cloud/precipitation properties including brightness temperatures across 35 channels, precipitable water, and liquid water path using the microwave radiometer. (MWR) The MWR also provides retrieved atmospheric profiles of temperature, relative humidity, and precipitable water. Precipitation properties were observed with the microrain radar (MRR) which measures reflectivity, vertical velocity, and doppler spectra properties. Cloud properties were detected with the Micropulse lidar (MPL) which measures co-polarization power and cross-polarization power.
