New era for Indian Ocean research: news article on WAMSI website.
The disappearance of flight MH370, the devastation caused by the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami, the profound societal impact of monsoons which are so strongly linked to the Indian Ocean and the fact that so many island groups, states and territories rely on its little understood ways has helped to renew a global drive to find out more about the only ocean to be blocked by land to the north. Indian Ocean research came into focus in Goa, India, recently when researchers from around the world presented their findings ahead of a Second International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE2), launched 50 years after its predecessor. A group of researchers from WAMSI partner organisations (CSIRO; Murdoch University, Curtin University, The University of Western Australia, Bureau of Meteorology and IMOS) attended the ‘Dynamics of the Indian Ocean: Perspective and Retrospective’.

| Summary: | The disappearance of flight MH370, the devastation caused by the 2004 Boxing Day
Tsunami, the profound societal impact of monsoons which are so strongly linked to
the Indian Ocean and the fact that so many island groups, states and territories
rely on its little understood ways has helped to renew a global drive to find out
more about the only ocean to be blocked by land to the north.
Indian Ocean research came into focus in Goa, India, recently when researchers
from around the world presented their findings ahead of a Second International
Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE2),
