Great #AMSA2025 workshop yesterday exploring the breadth of ocean observations collected by @imos-aus.bsky.social and freely available to support marine researchers, decision-makers, industry and First Nations. Attendees learned how to access, visualise & integrate IMOS data with their datasets

Job advert: Research Associate in Environmental Time-Series Modelling
We have just today advertised a new postdoctoral position funded by the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Indigenous and Environmental Histories and Futures (CIEHF) that will be based in the Global Ecology Lab at Flinders University. This is a fixed-term position for up to 3 years, and we are especially targeting Indigenous candidates. The successful candidate will use existing code and develop new approaches to analyse complex data derived from lake, lagoon, river, and wetland cores measuring various aspects of dated vegetation composition, fire regime, and climate fluctuation.

Fascinating new paper out in @nature.com on the importance of Small Scale Fisheries. Lots of great information on catch, nutrition, livelihoods, etc. The #sharkscience factoid I found was that only 0.2% of the SSF catch is sharks, rays or chimaerans.

We have developed a set of recommendations on how to define a #MarineHeatwave in a new paper.

Clear communication on *how baselines are defined* is important for interpreting events and associated impacts, and the messaging on extreme events.

What is the best way to define a baseline for marine heatwave (MHW) research – or extreme events in general? A new study from a wide range of experts highlights that the choice of baseline matters and should be tailored to the specific application.

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.

A Place of Joy.

Really nice looking postion open here at SLU Sweden: Professor (fully tenured) in conservation ecology with focus on biodiversity linked to forest management & green infrastructure.

It is also at our Alnarp campus which is...well...rather nice & even has a castle! 🧪🌎

We know that our climate is changing. Extreme weather events are becoming more common, sea levels are rising and overall, our planet is getting warmer. Monitoring these changes is critical.

Do you work with large #acoustictelemetry networks?

Ed Lavender just put out a new model for tracking the paths of aquatic animals through these networks.

Antarctic blue whales display high movement rates around the Southern Ocean. Estimated 8-32% movement rates from one ocean basin to another each year, and therefore circumpolar-wide complete mixing in under 10 years.
