Exploring our oceans
Share on FacebookShare on X

Kingborough scientists, students and volunteers attended the Australian Antarctic Festival from August 24 to 28.
Among the local scientists, Kingston hydrochemist Pavie Nanthasurasak, demonstrated and discussed the CSIRO’s high resolution nutrient analysis used on the CSIRO research vessel (RV) Investigator.
The Hydrochemistry facility specializes in the measurement of low-level nutrients, dissolved oxygen, and salinity in our oceanic and coastal waters.
Australia’s National Science Agency was also represented by Taroona resident and CSIRO’s Director of the Australian National Algae Culture Collection, Ian Jameson.
Mr Jameson provided a display from the collection of more than 1000 algae strains.
The Collection is a nationally and internationally significant resource for scientific research on Australia’s microalgal biodiversity, and is focused on environmentally and economically significant microalgae.
The festival included public lectures, and there were talks from various speakers, including the University of Tasmania’s Professor Matt King.
Professor King’s talk, titled Antarctic contribution to sea level and what that means for us, was well attended, with seating at capacity and additional attendees standing.
Kingborough students in attendance during the week-day school’s program included Southern Christian College.
A team of live huskies were hugely popular on Sunday, August 28
And more than 5000 painted penguins were on show, after arriving from 150 schools around Tasmania and around the globe.
The Kingborough Chronicle has more photos in store for readers next week.
