When Dhruv Bhagtani landed in Australia thanks to a prestigious Future Research Talent Award, he knew he’d be doing world-class undergraduate research. What he didn’t expect was the world of opportunity it also opened up.

“If they need me," Dr Brad Tucker says, "it is either a critical point for what is happening or it is a very serious matter, the kind of thing you see on the news, so they want as much detail as possible.”

New research, published today in the journal Nature, projects a slowing of the Antarctic overturning circulation and deep ocean warming over the next few decades. This could change our climate and marine environment in profound and potentially irreversible ways.
