Time is ticking for marine scientists at the Ningaloo Reef trying to find heat resilient coral colonies to protect and replicate while reefs bleach around them.
In a few days world leaders will descend on Glasgow for the United Nations climate change talks. Much depends on it. We know climate change is already
Abstract Peesey Swamp on southern Yorke Peninsula, southern Australia, is a north-northwesterly—south-southeasterly trending lowland depression, approximately 24 km long and 4 to 10 km wide. The richly fossiliferous mollusc and foraminiferal faunal assemblages of the last interglacial Glanville Formation in Peesey Swamp indicate that the paleoenvironment was a low- to medium-energy, sheltered sandflat to shallow-water seaway during the Last Interglacial Maximum (Marine Isotope Substage [MIS] 5e; 128–116 ka). The presence of the fossil bivalve molluscs Katelysia rhytiphora, Chlamys (Equich...
Date Time WA coastal flooding risk rising rapidly, study reveals Scientists from The University of Western Australia have analysed WA coastal data from the last 50 years and found extreme sea levels leading to coastal flooding are rapidly increasing. The study, published in Earth’s Future, shows that a combination of sea level rise and climate cycle factors unique to WA will likely accelerate coastal flooding risks in the future.

Warmer waters have been pulled south along the WA coast. Picture: BOM. Weather by Benedict Brook 1st Mar 2021 7:57 PM A rare and potentially damaging climate phenomenon has caused temperatures to soar in the waters off the Western Australia coast. It's partly down to the La Nina climate driver - but it's having a different effect in Australia's west to its east. Climate scientists have said there is a "growing risk" from these so-called Ningaloo Ninos in years to come as they can damage coral and marine species and drive hot ...
