Marine and Coastal Hub offshore wind farm environmental research update, September 2026
Sep 4, 2026
Project 4.7 information release on the horizon Hub Project 4.7 is preparing development scenarios and species distribution, migration and population dynamics models to support a suite of direct impact models for anthropogenic activities in the Bass Strait region. In coming months, the project team will contact parties who have provided data to the project under…
AI is helping to reconstruct Australian sea lion foraging trips
Sep 3, 2026
But the footage can only cover a small fraction of sea lions’ foraging expeditions, due to camera battery, storage and size limitations. University of Tasmania honours student Ruby Fox developed four machine-learning models to predict where and how sea lions forage when the cameras run out of steam. Ms Fox used data from a 2022/23…
Modelling the flow-on effects of offshore wind farms
Sep 3, 2026
Oceanographers are modelling how this wind loss may affect nutrient cycling in Bass Strait under a scenario of wind farm development off Gippsland, Victoria. Dr Clothilde Langlais and Dr Mathieu Mongin of CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, developed the three-dimensional hydrodynamic, biogeochemical and sediment model Bass2 (Bass Strait regional model). The Bass2 model encompasses the…
