Still processing yesterday's events, but thanks to everyone celebrating with me!πΎI am so lucky to be part of such a great team, be surrounded by friends & to have such an amazing supervisor @DanSmale1 supporting me on my PhD journey! π₯°π Apparently, I am Dr Nora Salland now π€
Happy to announce our βrecent OA publicationβ in @EcographyJourna, selected as Editorβs Choice! During our #historicalSWkelps surveys, we revisited 34 kelp forest sites to assess climate-driven shifts in kelp structure and distribution. vist.ly/55kj2
Resurveys of 34 sites along the coast of SW England combined historical data (1941β2016; 5β82 years prior) with contemporary surveys (2021β2023), enabling a robust comparisons of kelp forest change across a biogeographic transition zone in the NE Atlantic.
This survey was conducted during my PhD and was one of my favourite project components! π Huge thanks to all co-authors and the BEECHies for their support during this massive field effort π
Already 2 weeks into the new year but nevermind π«’. Reflecting on 2024 with exciting career development (finish of PhD & start of postdoc), change of research focus (exciting & frightening), moving across the world, friendship development & life decisionsπ« Excited for 2025! ππ±
Happy to announce that I finished my last training dives this week for #CAUS level I to carry out scientific #diving work in Canada!ππ€Ώπ¨π¦π Thanks for the awesome training by Fabiola Ruiz Aguilar pushing us to gain new skills, and for Ruth Arnold for being a great dive buddy!ππ½

Had a last visit to Plymouth during a UK vacation trip and got surprised by my lovely team with a self-made, PhD-themed graduation hat! Thanks guys - you are just amazing and I'm missing you already β€οΈ Special thanks to @MaxineCanvin for all the crafty kelp magic - I love it π₯°

A whole year of record breaking ocean temperatures.
This warmth has significant effects on ocean ecosystems. A large fraction of the worldβs human population rely on protein from the ocean to live. Disruption to life in the ocean does affect us all.
