Measuring Adaptation to a Rapidly Changing Environment – Community of Practice Project

Understanding the ability of organisms, communities and ecosystems to adapt to a rapidly changing environment will be essential to predicting […]

Fisheries Climate Adaptation Handbook

As ecosystems change it can be helpful to understand what change has already happened, what change is expected and how you might adapt. The CSIRO collaborated with researchers, fisheries managers and fishers from around Australia to create a handbook that sets out the steps for what kind of change is occurring in an ecosystem and how fisheries and management could be modified to cope.

Marine Heatwaves

Our work seeks to understand the drivers and impacts of marine heatwaves, to develop prediction systems for marine heatwaves, and to work with marine stakeholders to minimise the impact of these extreme events
