@HelenBostock5, there's about 15 or 16 women on the list of previous winners: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarke…. I think Moninya is the first oceanographer (male or female) to win the medal, however.

We know that surface temps can mis-represent sub surface marine heatwaves. That’s why we are worming tirelessly to measure sub- surface ocean temperatures using fishing vessels.

To keep pace with a changing climate, and the expected increase in extreme events, we need to include freshwater discharge in our model simulations, and ensure our observe networks don’t neglect coastal salinity.

What does it all mean? With an increase in extreme rainfall expected in the future, we need to pay more attention to freshwater discharge in normally ‘dry’ areas such as eastern Australia.

Gliders showed extreme low salinity waters extended more than 70km offshore and persisted for months. We observed a vertical double-stacking phenomena with two layers of fresher water extending deeper than 50m. Stratification was controlled by salinity rather than temperature.

It turns out it hangs around for a surprisingly long time.
We used a combination of moorings, gliders and remote sensing to define an observational extremes framework for salinity. This allowed us to track the extent and longevity of freshwater plumes associated with floodwaters

What happens when a historic year of rainfall dumps a bunch of freshwater into the ocean next to a western boundary current?
In @NatureComms today, @moninya, @mphemming, Tim Ingleton and I look at the impact of the 2022 East Australian floods on the ocean

A large By-the-Wind Sailor (Velella velella) washed ashore by Westerly winds. Lots of these Ocean surface dwellers, of varying sizes, along the beach today. They use their sails to scoot about on the sea surface while their blue tentacles dangle below catching prey.

A student perspective on what it is like to spend a month at sea with @unswbees Oceanography on #RVInvestigator

I recently spent 25 days aboard @CSIRO #RVInvestigator, chasing eddies in the East Australian Current system (i.e., my favourite ocean current). These were some of the best weeks of my life. A 🧵…

We were a diverse team of physical oceanographers, biogeochemists, atmospheric scientists and ecologists studying mesoscale eddy-eddy interactions. With 83 CTDs, 105 XBTs, 24 drifters, 24 radiosondes, 10,000 seabirds, and 2850 nm travelled, we had a *very* productive voyage!

Personal highlights: sailing under the Sydney Harbour Bridge, launching an XBT, observing a pod of 200 dolphins, crossing the Tasman Front, a @IMOS_AUS BGC Argo deployment, table tennis in rough seas, and of course… a late-night eddy centre viewing party in the operations room.

I loved the daily science talks and cruise updates. We had talks on the SWOT satellite mission, Bluebottle prediction and citizen science, calculating eddy centres, weather radar 101, measuring fluorescence, plankton, drifters and surface kinematics etc. #RVInvestigator
