Professor Pete Strutton is a biological oceanographer at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies. His field of research is the interaction between physical and biological processes in the ocean, and the consequences for ocean productivity and air-sea CO2 exchange. He has a PhD in Marine Science from the Flinders University of South Australia and has held positions at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, Stony Brook University and Oregon State University before joining UTAS as an ARC Future Fellow in 2010. He is a Chief Investigator in the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes.

Biography

Professor Pete Strutton received his Bachelor degree in Marine Science from Flinders University of South Australia with first class honours in 1993. He went on to complete his PhD in Marine Science in 1998. He then left Australia to take up the positions of Postdoctoral Scientist and Research Associate with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in California, which he held until 2002. From 2002-2004 he was Assistant Professor with the State University of New York's Marine Sciences Research Centre and from 2004-2010 he was Assistant, then Associate Professor at Oregon State University's College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences.  In 2010 he returned to Australia on an ARC Future Fellowship and has been Professor at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, University of Tasmania, since then. From 2010 to 2015 he was one of two oceans editors for Geophysical Research Letters, the American Geophysical Union's flagship short-format journal. He is the director of the CSIRO-UTas joint PhD program in Quantitative Marine Science, a leader of the Biogeochemical Argo sub-facility of Australia's Integrated Marine Observing System, and he also co-leads the Biogeochemistry Task Team for the redesign of the Tropical Pacific Observing System.

Research Themes

Pete's research aligns with the UTAS theme of Marine, Antarctic and Maritime. His broad research interest is the interaction between physical and biological processes in the ocean and how they work to regulate ocean productivity. He has ongoing projects in the Southern Ocean, Australia's northwest shelf, the tropical Pacific, the Tasman Sea and Indian Ocean. He is very interested in discussing potential projects with students considering Honours, Masters or PhD study.

Collaboration

  • ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes. A collaboration across the University of New South Wales, Monash University, the University of Melbourne, Australian National University and the University of Tasmania.
  • Marine National Facility voyage on the RV Investigator. A collaboration with Australian National University and Edith Cowan University.

Current projects

  • Eddies: The key to understanding Southern Ocean carbon cycling. This project has secured a month of ship time on the RV Investigator and has an associated ARC Discovery Proposal pending. The goal is to understand the circulation, nutrient fluxes, productivity and air-sea CO2 flux associated with cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies in the Southern Ocean.
  • Modelling of physical-biogeochemical coupling in a high-resolution global model. This project, which is funded through the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science, is a collaboration between UTas, ANU, UNSW and CSIRO.
  • Southern Ocean productivity and CO2 exchange under current and future climate regimes. This is a continuation of my Future Fellowship project, using satellite proxies for surface ocean CO2 concentrations to understand recent and future changes.

Understanding multi-scale dynamics of eddies in the East Australian Current (2023 - 2025)$693,000
Description
This project aims to provide the first rigorous quantification of the complex dynamics of rotating eddies (the weathersystems of the ocean) on scales ranging from 100s of metres to 100s of kilometres in the East Australian Current System. Understanding theseinteractions is at the frontier of oceanographic research. This project will provide important new understanding of the physical and biogeochemicaldynamics of eddies and their interactions across multiple scales, revealing their impacts on productivity along Australia's most populous coastline. Thiswill provide significant benefits such as improved ocean forecasting and sustainable management of Australian marine industries including the seafoodsector, supporting economic growth

Testing the White Ocean hypothesis to inform Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (2022)$259,246
Description
Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) increases the chemical storage capacity for atmospheric CO2 in seawater. A presumed strength of OAE is the permanence of the CO2 storage, which is thought to be in the range of 100,000 years, equivalent to the residence time of alkalinity in the oceans. However, this presumption neglects that calcifying organisms are responsive to changes in carbonate chemistry, with theory predicting an increase of calcification under higher alkalinity and associated increases of seawater pH (the white ocean hypothesis). If true, OAE efficacy could be lower and carbon storage permanence much shorter than widely believed because stimulated calcification would reduce the deliberately added alkalinity, thereby unlocking sequestered CO2. This project will test the white ocean hypothesis, focusing on the Black and Caspian Seas as natural analogues for a high-alkalinity ocean. We will use satellite and Argo float data to assess if the prevalence of calcifier increases relative to other phytoplankton under elevated alkalinity. Along this process, satellite and Argo float data will also be utilized to check if phytoplankton bloom phenology is different in these high alkalinity seas than in other ocean regions, which will be an important indicator if alkalinity can impact ecosystem functioning. Furthermore, aim to ground-truth our findings by participating on a research voyage to study OAE impacts on live plankton communities including calcifiers. Next to the OAE sensitivity to calcium carbonate (CaCO3) production, OAE efficiency can be reduced if more CaCO3 is exported out of the surface ocean under increased alkalinity. We will apply a tracer-based approach in combination with a targeted CaCO3 dissolution experiment to test if increased seawater alkalinity increases CaCO3 export from the surface ocean. Our study will clarify if the efficacy of OAE could be compromised via complicated feedbacks in the global CaCO3 cycle. We will provide large-scale and real-world context for the OAE assessment, which will be central to the public debate around this CO2 removal method.

The Australian Centre for Excellence in Antarctic Science (2020 - 2025)$22,302,208
Description
The Centre will revolutionise predictions of the future of East Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. Changes in the Antarctic will be profoundly costly to Australia, including sea-level and fisheries impacts; but the speed and scale of future change remains poorly understood. A new national-scale and interdisciplinary Centre is required to understand the complex interactions of the ocean, ice sheets, atmosphere and ecosystems that will govern Antarctica's future. The Centre will combine new field data with innovative models to address Australia's Antarctic science priorities, train graduate students, develop leaders, engage the public, and enable major economic benefit as Australia adapts to climate change in the coming years and beyond.

Physical, chemical and biogeochemical gradients in the East Australian Current (2018)$0
Description
This voyage will train Masters students from the University of Tasmania in oceanographic methods. Students will map changes in temperature, salinity and nutrients along 2,500 km of the eastern Australian coast. Biological sampling will document the changes in ocean plankton from the subantarctic waters near Tasmania to the tropics. By observing the change in current biological communities along a south-to-north temperature gradient, students will gain an appreciation of changes that may occur over time due to climate change. Students will gain valuable training in oceanographic field techniques, data analysis and communication.

Robotic investigation of water optical properties in the Southern Ocean (2016 - 2019)$454,706
Description
The project aims to leverage a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and an existing network of international collaborations to make a breakthrough in understanding the light-matter interaction in the waters of the southern ocean (SO), in particular the role of phytoplankton and associated material of biological origin. Phytoplankton are the energy source for the food web and a critical component of carbon cycling in the SO. One cannot, however,quantify phytoplankton dynamics in the SO using past, current and future ocean colour satellite sensors, because bio-optical data processing algorithms perform poorly (due to a lack of field data). This project would remedy this by providing novel, in-situ data based algorithms of known uncertainty.

Eddies: The key to understanding Southern Ocean carbon cycling (2016 - 2018)$269,900
Description
Ocean eddies are like small high and low pressure weather systems that spin either clockwise or anticlockwise,are about 100-200 km across and several hundred meters deep. Eddies are important because they generatevertical currents that move nutrients and carbon dioxide up and down. This work will observe an eddy in theSouthern Ocean for three weeks, to understand how its circulation impacts ocean productivity and the exchangeof carbon dioxide between the ocean and atmosphere. Outcomes will include a better understanding of carboncycling in an ocean region that is central to the climate of Australia and the rest of the planet.

Southern Ocean Productivity and CO2 Exchange Under Current and Future Climate Regimes (2009 - 2013)$788,800
Description
The Southern Ocean appears to be a significant sink of fossil fuel CO2. The amount of uptake and its variability is not well known, partly because the region is so vast and poorly sampled. This project will use existing and new data from ships, moorings and satellites to determine how Southern Ocean biological productivity and CO2 uptake respond to climate change. Specific questions to be answered include: Has the Southern Ocean warmed over the last 20 years? By how much? How has this impacted the type of phytoplankton present, their rates of productivity and their uptake of CO2 from the atmosphere? Has the abundance of calcifying organisms changed due to ocean acidification? How do the changes already observed project into the future?
