The role of pulsed water events in structuring marine benthic communities along the southern Australian coastline. Marked differences in benthic community structure have been observed that are associated with pulsed cold-water events, possibly driven by internal wave phenomena. Such events have the potential to act as very important controls on both regional and local patterns of benthic biodiversity. To date, however, their effects and mechanisms of action have never been examined in Australia. The fundamental outcome from this project will be the first assessment of the occurrence, geographical extent and ecological consequences of pulsed water phenomena along the southern Australian coastline.

脉冲水事件在沿南澳大利亚海岸线构建海洋底栖动物群落中的作用。观察到与脉冲冷水事件有关的底栖群落结构的显著差异，可能是由内波现象驱动的。这类事件有可能对区域和地方海底生物多样性格局起到非常重要的控制作用。然而，到目前为止，澳大利亚从未研究过它们的影响和作用机制。该项目的基本成果将是对澳大利亚南部海岸线上脉冲水现象的发生、地理范围和生态后果进行首次评估。
