TERN Symposium 2011

1. Australia’s Integrated Marine Observing SystemPresentation to the TERN Symposium29th March, 2011

2. Presentation Outline Status of current investments Research infrastructure available Uptake and use of the data streams (infrastructure) Potential for collaboration with TERN N.B. IMOS perspective

3. Status of current investments IMOS established 2007 Ramp-up phase 2007-9 NCRIS investment peaked in 2009-10 2009 EIF investment, to enhance and extend stable at ~$45M pa >50% co-investment Institutional partners Other partners mainly Aust. Government State Governments We are here $50M

4. Research infrastructure available National-scale, in-situ, ocean observing system Integrated (IMOS) open-ocean to coastal physics, chemistry and biology Data-centric – all data discoverable, accessible and used by the science community and others

5. Research infrastructure available- 10 platform-based national Facilities Argo Floats Ships of Opportunity Deepwater Moorings Ocean Gliders Autonomous Underwater Vehicles National Mooring Network Ocean Radar Animal Tagging and Monitoring Wireless Sensor Networks Satellite Remote Sensing

6. Research infrastructure available UNSW U Sydney Macquarie UTS Led by UTAS on behalf of the marine and climate science community National Office and eMII Major institutions around the nation own and operate components of the system institutional strengths/expertise, available to all the community All make the data available to the whole community condition of contract

7. Research infrastructure available“...the recognition of data and information as infrastructure, is central for some capabilities” – NCRIS Evaluation Report

29. Uptake and use of the data streams Marine and climate science Bluewater and coastal science Physics, chemistry and biology (ecosystem) In-situ observing and vessel-based observing and remote sensing Observations and modelling Validation and model development Data assimilation Observing system design And very significant international collaboration It’s a broad church...

30. Uptake and use of the data streams Decisions about what to observe, and where, are driven by Science Plans addressing five major research themes Multi-decadal Ocean Change Climate Variability and Weather Extremes Major Boundary Currents and Inter-basin Flows Continental Shelf Processes Ecosystem Responses

33. Uptake and use of the data streams IMOS investments are guided by community-driven science and implementation plans (Node plans) They have all been internationally peer-reviewed And have evolved into an IMOS national science plan, with regional Node ‘chapters’

34. Potential for collaboration with TERN- National, Regional, Functional National Coastal Zone, a ‘shared space’ Marine, Terrestrial, Freshwater, Geophysical, Atmospheric Environmental information National leadership in changing the culture Regional Making integration real Focus of IMOS, Focus of TERN, integrated modelling... Functional Satellite Remote Sensing Information Management
