National Research Flagships offer full and top-up Flagship Postgraduate Scholarships to high quality students who wish to work on a Flagship research project.

The National Research Flagships Program is one of the largest scientific initiatives ever mounted in Australia. Clusters, which are the main element of the Flagship Collaboration Fund offer opportunities for collaborations in areas of national importance.

Scientists are reporting significant changes in the distribution of coastal fish species in south-east Australia which they say are partly due to climate change.

The world's deep ocean researchers – scientists whose field of interest extends into the uncertain world below about 2000 metres – met in Hobart this week to discuss deep ocean changes, their causes and their implications.

A photographic exhibition of Australian marine biodiversity at Questacon in Canberra from May to August 2010 to celebrate the International Year of Biodiversity.

Learn how computer models based on the findings of Ningaloo research can help governments, industry and communities make wise decisions, so the Ningaloo of the future is as special as it is today.

Commercial fishers are helping marine scientists to map and monitor food supplies available to top order predators in the oceans around Australia.

Catchment and aquatic health research is ensuring catchment management and policy decisions are underpinned by integrated biophysical and socio-economic science.

Whether it's learning about  the daily behaviour of tuna or the changing circulation patterns of an entire ocean basin, marine observing technologies are essential for understanding our marine environment.

CSIRO is a world leader in understanding the connection between oceans and climate, and develops observing and modelling systems that enable Australia to respond to climate variability and change.

In this vodcast we meet two Hobart based CSIRO research scientists working to conserve our oceans’ biodiversity, and a visiting scientist applying his expertise to an Atlantic salmon breeding program. (7:23)

CSIRO scientists are observing changes in ocean temperatures, ocean chemistry and global sea levels. The impact of climate change on marine biodiversity is becoming more apparent. To reduce this impact, urgent action needs to be taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and stabilise global warming. (7:54)

Dr Steve Rintoul is a Research Team Leader at CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research. He is internationally recognised as a leading authority on the circulation of the Southern Ocean and how it affects global climate systems.

Remote sensing of hydrocarbon reservoirs in the continental shelf can be made difficult by unwanted signals from ocean waves. A new technique developed by the OCEANMAG project, led by Dr Jeanne Young, unmasks the geological data, which can reveal whether reservoirs contain hydrocarbons or sea water.

CSIRO’s sensors team combines cross-disciplinary capabilities with extensive experience in emerging sensing technologies and nanotechnology to gain a detailed understanding of sensing devices and their possible application within the oil and gas sector. (2 pages)

This brochure describes how the Wealth from Oceans Flagship is conducing aerial surveys each summer over the Great Australian Bight to keep an eye on schools of southern bluefin tuna. (4 pages)

Sensing technologies for hydrocarbons and their potential use as exploration devices is being delivered through the CSIRO Wealth from Oceans National Research Flagship (2 pages).

This brochure provides information about CSIRO's Wealth from Oceans theme, Our Resilient Coastal Australia. (2 pages)
