In #Antarctica, a daily radio check or “sked” is more than a safety protocol. It’s a lifeline, a laugh, a voice from the world beyond the ice❄️📻❤️ Short featured research supported by @AntarcticSciAus @AntarcticaNZ @IMASUTAS @niwa_nz @AntaPlatform youtube.com/watch?v=C9Jda8jL…

Finally happy to share our publication on HIcyBot in the Oceanography journal! 🎉🤖❄️ Robots under-ice & hyperspectral imaging for environmental monitoring in Antarctica Could this methodology be integrated in your Antarctic studies? LINK: oceanographydigital.tos.org/…

🌈❄️ How does light shape fast-ice algae? @EC_lambda used colored panels & imaging spectroscopy to track shifts in biomass, species, & photoacclimation—advancing tools for under-ice ecosystem monitoring 🔗doi.org/10.1525/elementa.202… 🔖Part of #SOOSSymposium2023 @ucpress Elementa

Few months ago but... New paper out! ⚠️🗞️ Here we used an optical flow algorithm to co-register drone-based hyperspectral imagery and RGB imagery to high accuracy 🚁📈 Big thanks to co-authors @TerraLuma @EC_lambda & Darren Turner mdpi.com/2504-446X/9/2/132

Our new SC met to shape the agenda of our next meeting! ⏰14–16 March 2025 📼hybrid format 📍Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco Resort (Italy) after @GordonConf and online via Zoom. The final agenda will be published soon, stay tuned! ➡️ More info: bepsii.org

Excited to share our publication on the Seasonal and ocean basin-scale assessment of amino acid δ15N trends in a Southern Ocean marine predator 🦭 ! Check out the details here : doi.org/10.3354/meps14699 #SouthernOcean🇦🇶 #MarinePredators

Antarctic sea ice update 🌊🧊 Antarctic sea ice reached its max winter extent of 17.16 million sq km (6.62 million sq miles) on Sept. 19, 2024. This is the second-lowest winter max on record, @NSIDC reports, just above last year.

The next generation of scientists at the @UTAS_ will have real-world experience exploring the ocean using specialised underwater robots thanks to Hydro Tasmania 🌊⛴ Read more: tinyurl.com/jfnrspt 📸Hydro Tasmania

🏁 Ready for our annual meeting? 📆 24-27/09 online ⏰ 2 daily sessions at 7-9 am & 7-9 pm UTC 🌍 with >80 registered participants, we look forward to shaping our next 5-year science plan 🙏 to our sponsors for their continued suppport @CliC_WCRP @SOLAS_IPO @SCAR_Tweets

▶️ "Y qué alegría poder estar en la clausura de este gran evento que creo que realmente fue muy inspirador y fue creado por un alma como @MarioCimoli; fue el gran motor de este seminario [...] Realmente ha sido una experiencia fantástica, creo que para todos los que pudieron estar a lo largo del seminario. Creo que el hecho de darnos la oportunidad de repensar en el futuro de América Latina es un momento muy importante, porque muchas veces no tenemos tiempo para detenernos a reflexionar y a pensar, y es muy importante porque tenemos que pensar qué tipo de región queremos, qué tipo de visión de desarrollo queremos imprimir a la próxima década o a las próximas dos décadas", destacó la canciller @aliciabarcena en la clausura del seminario internacional "Repensar al desarrollo de América Latina y el Caribe desde México", realizado en la @SRE_mx con la @lauammx, @uamxoficial, @AgendaCAF y ante expertos de @cepal_onu. 🇲🇽🤝🌎 #DiplomaciaCercana #DiplomaciaContundente

Some of the @IMASUTAS crew attending the #SCAR2024 conference over the last week. Had a blast, great networking and enjoyed the beautiful views that Chile has to offer!

PSA: Part one of Patrick Gower: On Ice airs tonight! It shows why Aotearoa has a presence in Antarctica, and what Kiwi scientists are seeing. Why should you care? 👉ow.ly/HVTo50SVv6U @VicUniWgtn @niwa_nz @otago @LincolnUniNZ @UCNZ @gnsscience @SWAIS2C @InspireExplore

For more information, the paper is now available online and open access through Plant, Cell & Environment! doi.org/10.1111/pce.15083

We found very strong linear relationships against EWT and FMC, as well as leaf water potential. When accounting for a breakpoint using segmented regression, the predictive capacity against LWP increased! 🌳This breakpoint additionally indicates a potential link to TLP.

My first, first author paper is now published!! 🎉🗞️ We used proximal spectroscopy to predict key water stress indicators, including leaf water potential, for two native Australian tree species 🌳💧🔦 Huge thanks to my co-authors and everyone involved! 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/pce.15083
