Research: Marine Geophysics
The following information is taken from the Biennial Report of
the Flinders Institute for Atmospheric
and Marine Sciences (FIAMS) for 1996 - 1997. FIAMS will
become part of a larger research institute of the university during
2001, and the report from which excerpts are produced below was
the last report prepared under the FIAMS name. It represents a good
cross-section of the type of research undertaken in the School.
The home pages of individual staff members should be consulted for
more current projects.
