Dr Andrew Fischer's research focuses on understanding the interaction between physics and biology in the coastal ocean and estuaries. This work integrates observation from satellites, airborne sensors and in situ measurements from ships, autonomous underwater vehicles and moorings. By applying spatial and statistical approaches, this research focuses on understanding dynamic phenomena in rapidly changing coastal waters, in particular, the development of algal blooms and the transport and fate of land-based materials into the coastal ocean. In addition, his research also focuses on conservation decision making and policy for these coastal environments.
Biography
Before joining the University of Tasmania, Andrew was a research technician at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. He has taught across the science and policy disciplines at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies (USA) and has worked at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (USA) as a fisheries observer and as an oil spill response planner.

Research Themes
Andrew's research aligns to the University's research themes of Marine, Antarctic and Maritime; Environment, Resources and Sustainability; and Data, Knowledge and Decisions. Today's information technology provides many new mechanisms for accessing, manipulating, and visualizing large marine science data sets. However, rapid growth of big marine data has led to a crisis in which many of these data are underutilized and lie dormant because they are too technically difficult to deal with. Accessing this data requires specialized knowledge, training, software and, most importantly, a community of individuals who understand both the processing and the products of raw information. Andrew's expertise drives, not only the exploration of dynamic coastal ocean phenomena, but also supports approaches of accessing, visualizing and integrating large science datasets.
Collaboration
Andrew is currently involved in a project with Sense-T to develop an in-situ sensor network for real-time algal biomass and community composition at key locations in the Tasmanian irrigation/wastewater network.

Influence of small rivers and estuarine exchange on coastal ecology Input from rivers and estuarine exchange on to the continental shelf plays an important role in altering physical, biogeochemical an (2022 - 2025)$40,000
- Description
- This input may influence stratification, nutrient flux, and local circulation patterns altering lower trophic levelsand primary productivity. While previous studies have addressed general aspects of the structure and dynamics of river plumes, most of this work has focused on plumes formed by large and medium-size rivers. Little attention has been paid to small rivers plumes and estuarine exchange, largely because small plumes and estuarine exchange is highly dynamic and varies across short temporal (of order of hours) and spatial scales (1-10kms). Thisvariability hinders precise measurements of plume structure and content even though small rivers influxes of fluvial water and suspended sediments is estimated at about 25% and 40%, respectively (Milliman and Syvitski, 1992; Milliman et al.,1999). This project aims to advance our understanding of the role of small river plumes and estuarine exchange in driving the ecological functioning of the coastal ocean. Given the highly dynamic nature of small plumes, this work will employ a multidisciplinary approach encompassing satellite remote sensing, in situ sampling and hydrodynamic modelling to develop high-frequency, high-resolution products physical and biological variables of plume structure and content.

Environmental pollutants in Tasmanian and Victorian Waterfowl (final PhD year) (2022)$4,800
- Description
- Wetland habitats around the world are a vital resource, and are rapidly becoming degraded and disappearing due to human impacts and climate change. This project will engage citizen scientists and local councils to help collect samples from native and feral waterbird species in Tasmania to help assess the health of our local wetland habitats. Using state of the art technologies we will measure concentrations of heavy metals in waterfowl tissues, identify type of quantity of plastic ingestion, asses the risk posed by these pollutants to waterbirds and wetlands, and develop new and effective standardized approaches for the long-term monitoring of Tasmanian wetlands.

NESP MaC 2.4 - Ecological outcomes of wastewater discharges in contrasting receiving environments (2022)$60,000
- Description
- Disposal of wastewater into estuarine and coastal waters introduces a range of contaminants of emerging concern (CEC; e.g.antimicrobials, pharmaceuticals and personal care products, microplastics) that negatively impact water quality, with little understood risk to theenvironment. Furthermore, ecological impacts of contaminants are likely to be highly heterogeneous due to variability in the attributes of receivingwaters, such as different mixing and dispersion rates between environments leading to variable residence times of waste-water plumes in addition todiffering physicochemical characteristics. This study will investigate the concentration and environmental impacts of a suite of CEC that are not yetroutinely measured in ocean outfalls and will also test the prediction that wastewater input to areas of lower flushing will have greater evidence ofecological harm, manifesting as lower capacity for photosynthesis, changes in microbial population size, shifts in microbial community function,increased oxidative stress and decreased ecosystem services. This medium-scale field investigation will provide key data from representative locationsto help assess the risk of contaminants on coastal ecosystems, prioritise areas of concern and inform management approaches.

Enabling autonomous technologies for aquaculture in challenging environments (2022 - 2026)$935,095
- Description
- Offshore aquaculture will require both routine and event-driven monitoring, inspections and maintenance. Autonomous systems will play an enabling role in these operations, fundamentally improving sustainability, efficiency and safety. The complex offshore operating environment envisaged by the CRC presents challenges for the effective use of remote systems that will increase in complexity as their level of autonomy grows.In this project, we propose to develop new methodologies utilising autonomous sensor networks and platforms to enhance the management of three existing oyster farming sites on the East Coast of Tasmania - Georges Bay, Great Oyster Bay and Great Bay - that are each facing unique environmental issues impacting productivity. The outcomes of this project will provide a robust foundation for examining the potential of newinshore aquaculture sites and the next level of challenges when production is moved offshore.This project has be en developed in accordance with the findings of Scoping Studies 1.20.002 ('Autonomous marine systems at offsh ore aquaculture and energy sites') and 4.20.002 {'Operational modelling for offshore aquaculture & energy').

Autonomous marine systems at offshore aquaculture and energy sites (2020)$48,304
- Description
- Moving fish farms offshore exposes them to more wind and waves and increases travel and fatigue for staff. Fish farm operations require the ability to make inspections and repairs, detect and manage threats to the fish population and continuously assess the quality of the water. Some of these tasks are already managed remotely with the use, for instance, of underwater cameras that can stream live video feeds to managers. Still, fish farms rely on near-daily visits by humans. This project investigates the readiness of existing and emerging technologies that will allow fish farms to automate their most dangerous tasks.

Upper Tamar River Estuary Sediment Study (2012 - 2013)$10,680
- Description
- The AMC are working collaboratively with the Launceston Flood Authority (LF A), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Parks & Wildlife Service (P&W) on a silt raking trial for the upper Tamar River estuary. The EPA identified some specific analyses that must be undertaken prior to this trial, including the collection and analysis of sediment samples. AMC, in collaboration with the LF A and EPA, were tasked with the collection of suitable elutriate samples from strategic locations and depths of the estuary floor. Each sample was prepared within AMC's laboratories and provided to Analytical Services Tasmania (AST) to undertake elutriate extractions and analysis. AMC documented the location, type and number of samples collected and provided interpretation of AST's analysis results. The project addressed the research question: What nutrients and metals are contained within the silt in specific locations of the upper Tamar River estuary? Its innovation lay in the acquisition and analysis of sediment and water samples to provide a baseline from which decisions can be made on how to proceed with the removal of silt from the upper Tamar River estuary.
