Associate Professor Guy Williams is an observational polar oceanographer specialising in the use of autonomous observation platforms, from AUVs and UAVs to instrumented elephant seals, to study ocean/sea ice interactions around Antarctica.

Biography

Guy moved to Tasmania in 1998, translating a confused background in Aeronautical Engineering at the University of Sydney into an Honours project at UTAS, modelling the dynamics of Heard Island glaciers. Thereafter he completed a PhD in observational physical oceanography, falling deeply in love with the production of cold, salty Antarctic Bottom Water. Completing post-doctoral positions in Hobart, Sapporo and Paris, Guy returned to the ACE CRC in 2011 to successfully lead an 'Autonomous Underwater Vehicle under Sea Ice' project in October 2012. A veteran of seven polar research voyages and nearly a year at sea, he now resides at IMAS as an ARC Future Fellow, happy to let elephant seals and robots collect data for him.

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').

Underwater acoustic device characterisation trial (2021)$24,396

Description: The overall aim of the project is to assess the underwater acoustic seal deterrent systems (SealFenceTM) made by OTAQ. The system is a short range underwater physiological deterrent system designed to deter seals at close range from entering salmon farm pens. The project will consider the system at the Petuna Rowella salmon farm lease. The project will assess the system by conducting an acoustic baseline monitoring program in the stretch of the Tamar River near the lease (separate consultancy between OTAQ and JASCO), and then an in-situ targeted measurement program of the operational device in the same area. IMAS will provide expertise in seabird and marine mammal observations and IR camera installation during/after the trial.

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.

The Australian Centre for Excellence in Antarctic Science (2020 - 2025)$22,389,928

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.

Antarctic Gateway Partnership Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Operational Trials (2018)$0

Description: The Australian Research Council funded Antarctic Gateway Partnership (AGP) is addressing strategic science questions about Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. The development and application of multi-million dollar, innovative Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) technology as part of the AGP will enable collection for the first time of data which is vital to understanding the physical, chemical and biological processes at work around and under Antarctic ice. This will lead, for example, to much better estimates of ice sheet contributions to sea level change. This project will enable the first deployment of a new Explorer AUV in Antarctic oceans. This deployment to Davis Station will facilitate the testing and trials of the vehicle in a series of stages; commencing in open water and culminating in under ice-shelf missions. Operational trials of the AUV platform in Antarctic environments is critical to the development of the Australian capability in polar science.

The availability of Antarctic krill to large predators and their role in biogeochemical recycling in the Southern Ocean (2018)$0

Description: Many Antarctic animals, including penguins, seals and whales, are dependent upon krill for food. Krill swarms can be deep or shallow, dense of diffuse but how the forms are distributed in time and space is poorly known. By mapping the distribution of blue whales and krill we will determine whether krill predators target particular forms of krill and if such forms are common. We will also assess whether whales fertilise the ocean through their nutrient-rich faeces. These whale-krill relationships and the role of whales in maintaining the ecosystem health will inform the management of expanding Antarctic krill fisheries.

Advancing wave-ice models of Antarctic sea ice with autonomous observations (2017 - 2019)$246,500

Description: The Project aims to design and execute autonomous observations above (unmanned aerial vehicles), below(autonomous underwater vehicles) and within (wave-ice interaction buoys) Antarctic sea ice on upcominginternational Antarctic research voyages. The intended outcome is to advance the parameterisation of wave-iceinteraction, critical to the seasonal advance and retreat of Antarctic sea ice, in climate models which currently failto reproduce the observed trends in regional Antarctic sea ice extent. The anticipated goal is the improvedprediction of the responses and feedbacks of sea ice to changes in ocean and atmospheric forcing around theSouthern Ocean. This work will place Australia at the forefront of polar climate research.

Seals as Oceanographic Samplers (2015 - 2018)$1,090,800

Description: The Antarctic and the surrounding Southern Ocean are one of the most important, yet least observed of marine habitats. Connecting all the world's oceans, the physical structure of the Southern Ocean profoundly influences world climate and ecology, and plays a key role in global climate. Within the IMOS program we use satellite linked data loggers that measure physical ocean properties (specifically salinity, temperature and depth) to depths of up to 2000m. Merging oceanography with marine mammal ecology advances our understanding of the world's oceans and its top predators, and allow us to predict how these species will be affected by future climate changes. This study collects important data on ocean properties throughout the Antarctic winter - data previously unavailable but crucially important to oceanographic and climate studies. Importantly this study builds on an existing continuous eight year time-series of annual oceanographic measurements between Davis and Kergeulen.

Ocean forced evolution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (2015)$50,365

Description: Preparing for the impacts of sea level rise needs an improved understand of the response of the Antarctic Ice Sheet to changing ocean conditions. Over the last decade it has become clear that more ocean driven melting beneath ice shelves is causing the Antarctic Ice Sheet to lose ice at an increasing rate, contributing to sea-level rise. This project will explain the role of the ocean in controlling this dynamic behavior of the Antarctic Ice Sheet. We will use state-of-the-art numerical modelling and available observations to determine the key processes that govern how the Antarctic ice flows into the oceans, together with the assessment of possible future change. This proposal will provide improved understanding of the processes controlling ice sheet and sea level and will help to provide realistic estimates of freshwater and heat transport in a global ocean context.

An integrated study of Antarctic land-fast sea ice physical and biological processes (2015)$0

Description: Land-fast sea ice (fast ice) is a pre-eminent feature of the Antractic coastal zone, is a senstitive indicator and modulator of Antarctic marine ecosystems. This joint Australia - New Zealand multi-disciplinary project will improve understanding of, and measurement capability for, coupled physical-biological processes in Antarctic fast ice. By combining field experiments, the use of automated observatories, historical data collation, satellite observations and statisitical modelling, the project will provide new data on local-to-circum-Antarctic scales. A key output of the project will be a physically-informed model of the seasonal development and fate of Antarctic fast-ice associated algal biomass. Furthermore, analyses will enhance the understanding of sea ice in Antarctic climate processes and will be utilised to improve parameterisation and evalutation of sea ice physical models.

Autonomous platforms and biotagging data: new approaches for understanding variability and change across the Antarctic ocean/sea-ice climate system (2013 - 2017)$755,320

Description: This study aims to advance our ability to assess and monitor climate change across the Antarctic ocean/seaice system. Ocean/sea-ice interactions have a critical role in the global climate and there is an urgent need to determine how these are responding to climate change. To do this effectively, we need to overcome gaps in existing observational datasets that currently limit our understanding of spatiotemporal variability and change in ocean around Antarctica. This study will use two new approaches, biotagging and autonomous platforms, to greatly improve our capacity to model and predict the impacts of climate change on the Antarctic ocean/sea ice system and beyond.
