Short summary
Using 16 years of ocean glider data, we show that marine heatwaves are characterised by shallow mixed layers and alter subsurface biogeochemistry across Australia’s continental shelf. Surface chlorophyll generally declined, but strong stratification and event severity promoted deeper, intensified chlorophyll maxima, highlighting region-specific ecological responses to heatwaves.
