Oyster reefs facilitate bioturbation in surrounding sediments. You can read all about it here: doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.4021. Also, a sneak peek of upcoming work, these same bioturbators drive nutrient cycling around reefs. Stay tuned, a lot more to come @SydneySOLES @harbourprogram

Dear anatomists and medical people, I took this thermal image of my feet and discovered my left middle toe is significantly warmer than my right middle toe. Why? Different vasculature/circulation? Is this asymmetry common in feet? Many thanks in advance!

So excited to welcome @DilerniaNikki (back) to the team to start a cool new project #oceandeoxygenation - great way to be starting 2022!!
So grateful to be able to accept a scholarship to continue on in a PhD position with the Future Reefs team at @uts_c3! ✨ Super excited for the next chapter in my coral career, and can’t wait to work with my amazing supervisors @DavidJSuggett @emmafcamp and Dave Hughes 🐠🌊

Amazing take over from the @harbourprogram group and their awesome army of postgrads!! If you haven’t seen today’s feed at @themarinediary you better go and check it out! Really great and key research on the intertidal remnant Sydney rock oyster reefs of Australia!
Time for us to sign off, we hope you’ve enjoyed meeting our research team and learning about #shellfishreefs down under! 👋To hear more about our work, follow us at @harbourprogram or check out the work of other Australian oyster researchers @OysterReefs @elliot_scanes @seapross

Microbes may be small, but their effects on #oysterreef nutrient cycling are substantial! @DrKDafforn studies how microbial communities mediate #denitrification pathways, by using these custom-built #benthicchambers … (1/3)

Check out our high-tech system for videoing #fish on #oysterreefs! @willfig’s Honours students @ChrisUndrTheSea & @katie_erick have been identifying fish communities so we can tailor our #reefrestoration efforts to maximize their function as fish habitat… (1/3)

#Bioremediation is one of @DrABugnot’s key interests, as these #bioturbators could be used alongside restored oyster reefs to #remediate excess nutrients from the sediment (2/2)

How does landscape context affect epifaunal assemblage and #predation on oyster reefs? @DR_GRIB’s students Ruby and Josee are finding out by building and distributing oyster cages in #seagrass, #mangrove, and bare sediment habitats … (1/2)

What factors influence recruitment on #oysterreefs? 🔎🤔 PhD student @rickleong has been setting up recruitment tiles on remnant oyster reefs to see if sediment deposition plays a role. So far, he’s found drivers of #settlement are site-specific! @DR_GRIB @DRABugnot

Australian #oysterreef habitat has declined drastically since pre-colonisation times. Our focus is studying the funamendal #ecology of our remnant oystereefs in order to provide guidelines for future #restoration efforts @GribbenLab gribbenlab.org/

We're taking over #themarinediary for 24hrs to showcase our using remnant oyster reef research. Follow the tweets. @unswcmsi @DR_GRIB @UNSWScience @unswbees
Join us ✨TOMORROW✨(🗓️31st) for a #takeover by the Sydney Harbour Research Program! They will discuss their ongoing research on remnant Sydney Rock #OysterReefs, and what they are learning to help the #ShellfishRestoration efforts in Australia. @harbourprogram @SydneyMarine

We are doing a #TakeOver of @themarinediary today to talk about our research on Sydney Rock #oysterreefs, and what we are learning to help the #shellfishrestoration efforts! Tune in to find out what our students are up to, supported by partners @nswdpi & @nature_org.

A great PhD opportunity for a student interested in marine plants and how below-ground processes (e.g. plant-soil feedbacks) controls their health and resilience/resistance to environmental stress . Link to the application is here cmsi.unsw.edu.au/study-us/gr…. @unswcmsi @unswbees

More than 32,000 square kilometres of the world’s marine environment has been modified by human construction and this is likely to reach nearly 40,000 by 2028. @DrABugnot @Sydney_Uni @harbourprogram bit.ly/2YO0D4P

Check out our latest global collaboration to map marine urbanization and ocean sprawl in #NatureSustainability @MQEarthEnv @MQSciEng
Our new study @naturesustainab shows that marine built structures have modified at least 1-3% of the oceans' exclusive economic zones, with some structure types projecting to double its extent in the following decade. Find out more at rdcu.be/b6zYU.
