If you've always wanted to get out in the field on a remote island & you're passionate about protecting priority wildlife populations, this could be your time 🦭 We have 2 field #ResearchAssistant positions going on #macquarieisland! Details and to apply: careers.utas.edu.au/en/job/498834/…

🔉 Summer Internships with Nature Scotland on the Isle of #Mull (August 14th - 1st Sept 2023) - 3 weeks, voluntary role) (Sept 4th - 22nd 2023 - 3 weeks, voluntary role) As Nature Scotland has evolved during the last few years, we are now in a position to provide opportunities

New Paper! Offshore wind turbines are key to a low-carbon future, but construction using pile-driving is damaging to dolphins & porpoises. Can we do better? Our new OA paper: doi.org/10.1007/s00227… suggests gravity-based foundations offer a more dolphin-friendly alternative.

I am absolutely over the moon to be able to say that from October 1st I will be an Assistant Professor at the Scott Polar Institute, and I will be the first woman to hold a full time permanent academic position at the institute (1/2)

Would be great to see some more BAS folks at Paul's focus groups next week!

#Manatee vocalisations are so cute! 🎤 These are audio clips from recordings captured using #HydroMoths at ONG Aquasis and mark the beginning of the #ManateeSoundscapes project 🤩 🔊 I'm thrilled to collaborate once again with the NGO I co-founded & hold dear to my heart! 😍

Vivaldi's The Four Seasons with folk music improvisations. Enjoy Pekka Kuusisto, Ale Carr and Kammerphilharmonie's interpretation on BBC iPlayer

Congrats to Jelaine Gan on 1st paper with our lab & for her PhD study. Can we assist / do we need to assist bird facilitated seed dispersal in forest restoration efforts, Philippines. link.springer.com/content/pdf/10…. fieldwork ✔️(see below) - doing the review: next.

So: we're currently missing an area of Antarctic sea ice bigger than Greenland. You might have seen this graph (thanks Zack Labe). Our scientists have been pretty busy talking about this extreme event in the media. Here's what you need to know ⬇️ bas.ac.uk/media-post/the…

This is the face of an oceanographer that maps the #Antarctic continental shelf. Seals with sensors are rewriting previous estimates of the ocean depths. In the most extreme case “they were diving 1,000m deeper than what we thought was the ocean floor.” ➡️antarctic.org.au/seals-uncover-…

Excited to see the first paper of my PhD published today! (does this make me a real scientist now? 🥹) We used ICESat-2 to measure up to 15 km (!) tidal grounding line migration on the Ronne Ice Shelf, and found 4 different modes of migration! Check it out here 👇🏼👇🏼

Please share: the Kitzes Lab at University of Pittsburgh is recruiting a PhD, Postdoc, & Technician to study avian conservation #bioacoustics! 🦉🎶 We create & apply techniques in bioacoustics, quantitative ecology, machine learning, and data science to study sound-producing animals 🦜🐸🐺 Details below👇

Are you a polar scientist? Do you identify as a woman? Have you conducted #fieldwork in the #Arctic, #Antarctica and/or the Third Pole? Help us document and gather empirical evidence on polar fieldwork experiences of women-identifying researchers! forms.gle/wy2HLziQHE9Tha…

It's World Penguin Day, but as we celebrate this charismatic animal, have a thought about how they are reacting to climate change. Our new paper released today gives a short assessment of emperor struggles with sea ice loss. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

The calving of #A83 poses a real threat to the stability of the re-formed Halley bay emperor penguin colony. This colony was originally the second largest in the world, but several years of bad sea ice and iceberg calving events have hit it hard British Antarctic Survey 🐧

Throwback to July 2022, when Covid-19 and airline strikes almost saw our fieldwork cancelled... but when in the end all the stars aligned in our favour to bring you this newly published paper to count walruses from space. doi.org/10.1002/rse2.3… Image © Emmanuel Rondeau/WWF-UK

Our Wildlife from Space project has been highlighted as on of six examples of the use of AI in UK research. ukri.org/who-we-are/how…

Interested in a PhD or Masters at the intersection of AI and Ecology? This research area is growing rapidly, and it can be hard to figure out which research groups where are doing what! Come join our infosession to hear from PIs worldwide about their research and goals!!
