in meteorology:

	airborne measurements of atmospheric and chemical parameters on space scales from micro-scale turbulence to macro-scale convection systems,
	pollution studies based on airborne measurement applications,
	climate variability studies based on the analysis of long time series,
	instrument development for airborne measurement platforms,

in marine geophsics:

	field measurements of the effects of ocean currents on the Earth's magnetic field,
	field measurements of the rate of sea floor spreading,

in oceanography:

	field measurements related to investigations of the global ocean circulation,
	analysis of water mass distribution and aging and their role in climate change,
	field measurements and modelling of the freshwater budget in the tropical mixed layer,
	theoretical studies related to air-sea interaction.
	field measurements to establish the circulation and water renewal in estuaries and the coastal ocean,
	analysis of sea surface temperature for waters south of Australia from Tasmania to Pert based on satellite imagery. Projects including tidal analysis are done in collaboration with the national Tidal Facility

These and other projects are funded from a variety of sources including the Australian Research Council, the National Greenhouse Advisory Committee, research grants from Flinders University and client contracts. All projects involve graduate students of the School of Earth Sciences.
