🔊 Listen to Dr David Wachenfeld's interview on ABC Radio National this morning, as he explains results from our annual summary report on the condition of the #GreatBarrierReef - released today. abc.net.au/listen/program…

High coral cover amid intense heatwaves & bleaching? How can that be? 🤔 The answer is simple: lag time Daniela Ceccarelli explains ➡️ bit.ly/3SDV30U We’ll know the full impact from these events when we survey reefs next. We’ll be back in the water from September.

#ICYMI: Our annual report on the condition of the #GreatBarrierReef is out It may be good news BUT there’s some details to understand AND it’s all in the timing of when we completed surveys and when bleaching + cyclone events happened this summer. 📺youtu.be/IfEvDATxYhU

We 🫶 marine science! For NationalScienceWeek we’re discovering what some of our awesome scientists love about #marinescience. First up is Benjamin Mance, an aquarist SeaSim. Ben’s interest in science dino-mited after watching a blockbuster 🦖

We’ll be in Canberra at the GSG STEM Expo hosted by Australia's Chief Scientist on Thursday 🎉 Come along & chat to our scientists Dr Darren Koppel Patrick Laffy Chinenye AIMS will be presenting at 10:30am. If you can’t make it, watch the livestream - register ➡️ bit.ly/4fDlEoD

Congratulations Melanie Olsen 🎉 Melanie, who led the establishment of our #ReefWorks tropical marine technology test ranges, was recognised as a driving force and advocate for regional STEM careers and the North Queensland technology hub.

Passionate, motivated and dedicated = Molly-Mae Baker, an AIMS + UWA Oceans Institute #marinescience graduate, who loves being underwater so much, she sometimes swaps office shoes for fins😜 During NationalScienceWeek dive in to hear why marine science is a fin-tastic field to work in!

🔎 It’s the small things that matter - because making sense of the smaller things, such as #microplastics and the threat they post to marine life, is ‘shore’ to have an impact – and that’s one thing Keegan Vickers loves about #marinescience, having an impact. NationalScienceWeek

When the “best summer of your life” changes the rest of your life! A summer university course & an inspiring professor cemented Holland Elder’s career path to becoming a marine biologist. Jump into Holland’s love for science this NationalScienceWeek

Love science but not a scientist? De’vereux Harvey, a mechanical engineer found a way to combine her maths + physics skills with her passion for the ocean 🌊 📺 Hear why De’vereux ❤️ science. 👏Shout out during NationalScienceWeek to all who work in & ❤️ science!

Current models that map #coralreef habitats don’t incl. key habitat attributes that coral larvae need to settle & survive. In new research, scientists have developed a remote sensing model for coral recruitment habitat to boost #reefrestoration efforts. 🔗 bit.ly/3AuNQtY

Congrats NIWA on the arrival of RV Kaharoa II! Members of our Ops team joined the celebrations as part of the Research Vessel Operators of New Zealand and Australia (RVONZA) forum, gaining insights to assist the ongoing design and planning of AIMS’ next gen research vessel.

Curious about how coral larvae respond to moving substrate? Check out our recent paper in Coral Reefs: rdcu.be/dSp6I Turns out corals can settle on constantly moving substrate & routinely settle on loose rubble! #ACRRI Australian Institute of Marine Science BHP Cathie Page Christine Giuliano

Our researchers are delving deeper into nutrient pathways at Lord Howe Island to help protect its marine havens. New collaborative research with Southern Cross University UNSW and #nsw-marineparks Read more➡️ bit.ly/3ALF0Ii 📸: Caitlin Woods, Justin Gilligan Dr. Kay Davis

Six of the world’s seven extant sea turtle species are classified as vulnerable or endangered. IMOS led a pilot tagging program to track the movements of three species of turtles, providing data vital for conservation. Delayed mode data now available bit.ly/4ecWKuP
