Influencing environmental policy with science: Dr Tom Hatton
Explore the challenges, pitfalls and strategies in making research influential with those who manage or regulate our environment
How a researcher represents their work can have a deep impact on policy and policymakers. This seminar will explore the challenges, pitfalls and strategies in making research influential with those who manage or regulate our environment. We will explore the choices that a researcher can make and the consequences of how they position their work in front of key decision-makers.
The seminar will be provided by OI Adjunct Professor Tom Hatton PSM FTSE, recently retired Chair of the Environmental Protection Authority and former research scientist and executive with the CSIRO.
This event is part of the Expert Series hosted by the Oceans Institute. You can find out more about other free events in this series by visiting: www.oceans.uwa.edu.au
AMSAwa Marine Snapchat
All WA marine scientists are invited to share their work and find out what’s happening in Marine Science in WA. The Snapchat format allows speakers the opportunity to present in an informal setting. With a high level of audience engagement, these evenings have always been a great success in the past.
The proposed venue (Kim Beasley Lecture Theatre, Murdoch University) has a large capacity so social distancing can be achieved with ease – fingers crossed that COVID restrictions don’t change in the next few weeks.
We hope to enjoy the company of real people at a live event!
Please see the flyer below for more details.

ASLO 2021 Aquatic Sciences Meeting
Aquatic Sciences for a Sustainable Future: Nurturing Cooperation
Following the pressing needs of the society to ensure a sustainable future, amidst human-influenced environmental changes, the theme of the meeting is Aquatic Sciences for a Sustainable Future: Nurturing Cooperation. Underdeveloped and developed societies face different levels of sustainability problems in aquatic resources and have contrasting capacities to address and adapt to upcoming changes and threats, which makes cooperation paramount for an efficient and increasing exchange of information to find long-term sustainable solutions. Dialogue among scientists, as well as transfer of knowledge for the benefit of the society, are very important in addressing sustainability challenges. To provide a venue for this exchange, we will incorporate the theme into the plenary sessions: The future of seafood resources and the role of cooperation; Restoration of aquatic ecosystems, in line with the United Nations Decade of Restoration; Carbon dynamics in lakes and rivers; Past and future of ocean circulation and its role for the climate system; Linking the health of the oceans to humans; Remote sensing and large scale detection; Integrated management of aquatic resources.
Initially this meeting was scheduled to be held in Palma, but due to COVID-19, it is necessary to hold the ASLO 2021 Aquatic Sciences Meeting virtually. However, we plan to meet in Palma in 2023. We will embrace dialogue in the virtual realm, concentrating on cooperation in an electronic environment.
