Ten years ago, the National Sea Simulator opened its doors to marine scientists and changed the way they worked forever.
Australia’s fledgling autonomous marine technology industry put its newest products to the test at ReefWorks, AIMS’ tropical marine technology test range, during an Open Range event.
In-water monitoring by the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) shows hard coral cover across the Great Barrier Reef remains at similar levels to that recorded in 2022, with small decreases in the Northern, Central and Southern regions.
AIMS scientists are collaborating with the Samoan Government to introduce fast, image-based coral reef monitoring to Samoa.
A distinguished public servant from Canberra has been appointed to the Australian Institute of Marine Science's (AIMS) Council.
Photogrammetry is the scientific technique that can not only transport you into the delicate corners and crannies of the underwater world but enable AIMS scientists to measure large sections of the Great Barrier Reef. This is accelerating their ability to help vulnerable reefs recover and adapt to a warming climate.
Coral scientists are squaring up to the dilemma of selecting which and how many coral species will have their future underwritten by cutting-edge reef restoration research.
