The Master of Physical Oceanography offers advanced training in the theory and understanding of physical processes in the ocean. The program is ideal for graduates who have a background in science, engineering or cognate disciplines.The master's program will enhance your employment opportunities by equipping you with a range of skills demanded by employers in Australia’s growing Blue Economy. This program offers advanced disciplinary courses designed to reflect current practices in the field of physical oceanography, within the framework of academic knowledge and critical thinking. Each course aims to build your capacity to investigate, analyse and synthesise complex or conflicting information in a timely fashion.Key featuresPathway to further studyThe program also provides a pathway to further studies at PhD level and is the largest of an articulated suite of physical oceanography programs.Conduct your own research project.You'll undertake a major research project where you'll bring together various aspects of your coursework and extend your knowledge and investigation skills.Develop a wide range of skillsThe program will develop your quantitative, computational and technical skills. You'll be taught to apply skills, technologies and thinking to current industry issues and to communicate these effectively.

About

Concrete, which is made using industrial waste from steel manufacturing and coal-fired power stations, is being used in a trial in the roads of Sydney for the first time in the world.

UNSW Sydney researchers and the CRCLCL, CRC for Low Carbon Living will use these trial results to create industry guidelines for the very first set of geopolymer concrete.

“While we’ll monitor the road performance for up to five years, a lot of the data collected in the first three to 12 months of this world-first trial will be used to confirm our models and strengthen our predictions. Concrete contributes 7% of all greenhouse gas emissions and in 2018 the world produced about 4.1 billion tonnes of cement, which contributed about 3.5 billion tonnes of CO2. Alternative, low-CO2 concrete materials offer potential benefits in reducing the greenhouse gas emissions associated with conventional concrete. This trial is important because we need demonstration projects to accurately assess the performance of geopolymer over time so that there can be broader uptake,” said Craig Heidrich, executive director of Australian (Iron and Steel) Association and Ash Development Association.

According to the associate professor of sustainability research at UNSW, Dr Tommy Wiedmann, if all concrete produced was geopolymer in place of traditional concrete for one year - 12,000 kilotons of carbon di oxide would be saved.
