Mangrove zooplankton community structure and copepod egg production in North Queensland, Australia

Plankton community composition studies were carried out of the mangrove environments of the Haughton River and in the northern rivers of Queensland (Daintree, McIvor, Lockhart, Claudie and Pascoe),
Egg production experiments were carried out in the laboratory in the case of the Haughton River. Samples were collected from the Cromarty Landing at the Haughton River, in Niskin bottle and preserved for analysis. Oithona Spp females were counted, and separated by those that were not ovigerous, those carrying one egg sac, and those carrying two egg sacs. Egg production was estimated by the egg-ratio method. Feeding and predation experiments were also conducted. 
Egg production rates from the Cape York rivers were calculated by the same method carried out onboard. Feeding and metabolic experiments were also conducted and differed markedly from the experiments from the Haughton River, thought to be due to tropic determinants. 
This research was undertaken to improve our understanding of the contribution of zooplankton to energy flow in mangrove ecosystems.

Heron Island Weather Station installed on Sensor Relay Pole 5

A Vaisala WXT520 integrated weather station has been installed on RP5, a 6m steel pole, which has been installed within the lagoon of Heron Island as part of the sensor network infrastructure at Heron Island in the southern Great Barrier Reef off Gladstone, Australia.The sensor-relay pole provides a platform for the installation of sensors to measure and monitor water conditions within the lagoon of Heron Island. The pole has real time communications using 900MHz spread spectrum radio back to a base station on Heron Island.The weather station provides measurement of air temperature (Deg. C.), humidity as relative percent, barometric pressure (milliBars or hPa), rainfall amount, intensity and duration, hail amount, intensity and duration (not common on coral reefs!) and wind speed and direction. The wind speed and direction and processed into scalar and vector (directional) based readings and presented as 10 and 30 minute averages to give mean values and maximum values. From these you can get the average wind conditions at either 10 minute or 30 minute periods as well as the gust or maximum wind conditions.The weather station is connected via an SDI-12 interface to a Campbell Scientific CR1000 logger which uses a RF411 radio to transmit the data, every 10 minutes, to the base station on Heron Island and then a Telstra nextG link is used to send the data back to AIMS.Identical weather stations are also on One Tree Island (near by), Orpheus Island (central GBR) and Lizard Island (northern GBR). A light sensor is also located on the Island itself to give measures of PAR.
 The weather station is to provide on-reef weather conditions to allow the interaction with the atmosphere and the water to be understood. It is NOT set up as a meteorological grade station (for example it is too low to the water) but rather to give an indication of the atmospheric conditions at the surface of the water actually on the reef. If you need meteorological grade observations then use the data available for near by locations from www.bom.gov.au

Orpheus Island Deployments of the Facility for the Automated Intelligent Monitoring of Marine Systems - FAIMMS

Sensor network infrastructure was installed at Orpheus Island in the central Great Barrier Reef just north of Townsville, Australia. The infrastructure consists of a base station located on an existing mast at the Orpheus Island Research Station run by James Cook University, two sensor-floats or buoys - one located in Pioneer Bay off the Research Station and one in Little Pioneer Bay and three Relay / Sensor Poles - two located on the reef flat on the north-west point of Orpheus Island and one located on the southern point of near-by Pelorus Island.The experimental design is to measure the intrusion of oceanic water onto the ocean (western) side of the island and through the channel that separates Orpheus and Pelorus Islands and secondly to monitor water temperatures and water parameters in the bays around the research station. The deployment in August 2009 consists of a base station at the Research Station that use the nextG network to get the data back to AIMS and using the Campbell Scientific RF411 radios to create the on water wireless network. The base station talks directly with the two sensor floats, one in Pioneer Bay and the other in Little Pioneer Bay. Each float has a surface mounted thermistor and a bottom mounted SeaBird SBE39 that gives temperature and pressure (depth). This gives depth and surface and bottom temperature for the two locations.The three Relay-Poles were installed in August 2009 with no instruments, these will be added in October / November 2009. The design has the two poles on the Orpheus Island reef flat having sensor strings that go across the reef flat, down the reef slope into the deeper waters with deep temperature and salinity sensors and shallower temperature sensors to give a profile of temperature and measurements of temperature and salinity for the deeper water as it flows onto the reef and through the channel.The pole on Pelorus Island will act as a base station relaying the data from the other poles back to the mainland via a nextG modem. One of the poles will also have a Vaisala WXT520 weather station mounted on it.
 The project looks to deploy sensor networks at seven sites along the Great Barrier Reef to measure a range of physical parameters at a range of scales. The project will install communications, data and platform infrastructure that will support future sensor work looking at biological and chemical parameters.
 The FAIMMS Project is part of the GBROOS or Great Barrier Reef Ocean Observing System project which in turn is part of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System or IMOS.

IMOS - Deep Water Moorings - Deep Water Arrays (DA) Sub-facility, Polynya array, Polynya2 Mooring Platform

The Polynya2 (Mertz region) deepwater mooring was deployed on 2011-01-22 at (-66.20 S, 143.21 E) off the Adelie Land Coast in Antarctica, and was recovered in January 2015. In February 2014 a second array was deployed in a new location near the Totten Glacier, which was decommissioned in January 2015.
Instrumentation includes 75kHz Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (RDI longranger ADCPs), Seabird SBE37s (SM and SMP) and 16plus V2.
The mooring will collect a time series of full-depth profiles of water velocity and discrete temperature and salinity measurement at four depth on each mooring, between the seafloor and 300m depth (the mooring are limited to this depth to avoid contact with icebergs).
This Polynya mooring array will re-continue the time series of bottom water export begun in 2008, using observation strategy, modified as required following recovery of the array in 2009.
The aim of the IMOS Polynya mooring array is to measure the export of dense Antarctic Bottom Water from the Adélie Land coast. Sinking of dense water near Antarctica supplies the deep branch of the global overturning circulation, a pattern of ocean currents that strongly influences climate. Several studies have recently shown that the properties of the bottom water in the Australian Antarctic Basin are changing. Monitoring the temperature, salinity and oxygen of bottom water will provide observations to detect how the Southern Ocean limb of the overturning circulation is responding to changes in high latitude climate forcing. The goal of the new Totten region location is to obtain measurements of "warm" inflow to, and (if possible) outflow from the Totten Glacier system. As it happened, access right to the Totten was not possible, and moorings were sited closer to the Dalton Iceberg Tongue and Moscow University Ice Shelf, possibly part of the Totten inflow story.

Parkes observations for project P1328 semester 2025APRS_07

Fast radio bursts are peculiar micro-millisecond duration transients, which have been seen to be extragalactic in origin. Since their discovery, a dichotomy has emerged in their population. Some FRBs have been seen to be repeating, while others have not been seen to be repeating. The repeating FRBs, such as FRB 20180301A, provide an unparalleled window into their circumburst environment due to their repeating nature, which can be used to constrain possible progenitor models and test underlying emission mechanisms. Additionally, FRB 20180301A has been seen to have interesting polarisation properties, such as a switch in the sign of RM, indicating a reversal in the magnetic field and a marked reduction in the linear polarisation fraction towards lower frequencies (depolarisation). The previous Parkes/Murriyang source follow-up has also revealed a temporal evolution in the dispersion measure (DM) of the source and tentative evidence for correlation in the DM and rotation measure (RM). The ultra-wideband low (UWL) receiver on Parkes/Murriyang is ideally suited to explore the wideband spectro-temporal and polarimetric behaviour of the source. We propose regular monitoring of FRB 20180301A using UWL to model the magnetic field evolution, study its circumburst media using depolarisation behaviour, and constrain any correlation of DM and RM.
