Valuing Darkness Conference on light pollution will take place March 19th-21st in Naarm (Melbourne). Mariana will be sharing research on the effects of light pollution in marine systems, but lots of other interesting talks as well! australasiandarkskyalliance.…

Yesterday we deployed a new experiment for PhD student Lena Holtmanns, looking at the interactive effects of Artificial Light at Night and habitat complexity. Modules have two complexity levels, and half are lit with these floating underwater lights. Super exciting!

This month, we hosted our first ever lab writing retreat in the beautiful Avoca beach! It was a great chance to connect lab members based at different institutions, and to facililate discussions, run peer review sessions, and of course lots of writing and team-building 😊

The third paper of my PhD is now published in @Oikos_Journal w/ @ljfalkenberg !📢 We explored how seasonality and interactions with epiphytic algae and grazers can affect the responses of seagrass to marine heatwaves.🦠🐌🌱🌊 Check it out here: doi.org/10.1111/oik.10382

Happy #InternationalWomensDay2024!
Our Superstars of STEMM were making waves at the Australian National Maritime Museum Women In STEM careers expo!
We had a great time speaking to the next generation of scientists!
Thank you @seamuseum_ & #internationalwomensday!

Such a great article on Project Restore! This recently commenced project aims to restore habitats at the seascape level, with collaborations between @SydneyMarine, @LivingSeawalls, Operation Poisodonia and more, in Sydney Harbour 🌊🌱
🌊 A group of marine scientists are embarking on a mission to restore the waters of the iconic Sydney Harbour.
If successful, it may become a template for revitalising other urban marine sites worldwide.
