Project manager and PDRA on the #ClimateREEFS project. I like measuring nature. Thinking about high latitude reefs, populations and communities.
First day of our ECR training event. A gentle start as the typhoon delayed participants from Phils. 1-1 surgeries with our Indonesian team members were productive nonetheless - advancing their analysis and patching up knowledge gaps! Super fun and heart warming to see the enthusiasm! #ClimateREEFS

The ClimateREEFS team has had a wonderful time at #AF2025 showcasing our research on small scale fishery sustainability. Similar challenges but many solutions in climate adaptation. We are in this together. #CLimateAdaptationREsilience @adaptationfutures.bsky.social @priestleycentre.bsky.social

Curious about what lives in NSW (Australia) estuaries?
We established a new open access baseline with more than 10,000 taxa for >250 sites using #eDNA methods.
Short summary online today with links to video and a site map

From surprise platypus to wandering cane toads, here’s what we found hiding in NSW estuaries
Researchers worked with Indigenous Rangers to map life in 34 estuaries across NSW using environmental DNA - and made a host of unexpected discoveries.

It's certainly not everyday that we see a #Nautilus in the wild, with our own eyes. But today was the day! Here it was hanging out in the lagoon, in less than 5m of water, with its own Chrysiptera taupou (Southseas devil) friend.

We are onboard the French RV ANTEA for the next 3.5wks to explore the beautiful #reefs of Nouvelle Caledonie on the NSF-NERC funded DisKer project: Resolving dispersal kernels 🐠🚢🌏🌊. Day 1 of dives today! Watch this space. @mariabeger.bsky.social @bioscienceleeds.bsky.social
