Australasian Coasts and Ports 2019 Conference

Our Conference Theme “Future directions from 40°S and beyond” reflects the increasing awareness about the need to find suitable means for adapting to change in the “right” direction.  It also identifies a geographical location (in latitude) at the northern extremity of Tasmania.  Beyond 40°S is the world at large but specifically alludes to two continents- a frozen one southward, and a warmer one above.  A deeper understanding of the frozen continent, Antarctica, will aid an increasing knowledge about its influence on oceans and coasts around Australasia, Oceania and beyond.
