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.

- 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

- 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.

- 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.

- Description
- This project aims to investigate the relationship between dust deposition and marine productivity. This project willquantify dust deposition to the ocean and its chemical and ecological impact by using new geochemicaltechniques and novel approaches with autonomous ocean sensors. Expected outcomes of this project includeimproved estimates of dust deposition to the ocean and the development of globally-applicable methods forquantifying the link between dust and biology using profiling floats. This should provide significant benefits such asimproved dust models used to predict future changes in nutrient deposition, with implications for predicting futureocean fish production and carbon uptake.

- 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.

- Description
- We will address the formidable challenge of understanding and predicting climate extremes for Australia. Via acritical mass of researchers, new data, innovative modelling, collaboration, a graduate program, and early careerresearcher mentoring we will transform Australia's capacity to predict climate extremes. Annually, climateextremes now cost Australia up to $4 billion but may intensify over the coming decades. Our blue-sky researchwill focus on discovery of processes that explain the behaviour of present and future climate extremes. Our impactand legacy will be assured via partnerships with key sectors of the Australian economy and discoveries thatenable evidence-based planning for extremes that will enhance national resilience.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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?
