Devastating news

I am so proud of Alexandra Strang! You did such a great job!

Can we use satellite images to monitor colonies of #penguins in #Antarctica ? Alexandra Strang is testing and refining these methods #UCNZabc Biology at UCNZ

There are at least 11 distinct songs made by blue whales worldwide, each corresponding to a unique population that is assessed separately. Some interesting insights: 1/n

Awesome stuff, Clive McMahon!

🛰️ 25 years of satellite data show an increase in phytoplankton blooms in the #SouthernOcean .

How will these large-scale changes impact the marine food web?

.The Drive with Rob and Roz, you talked about international #seal day. Did you know there's an #Antarctic seal species called the Ross seal...or a 'Roz Rob'. It is the scarcest & least studied species & behaves unlike any other! We at University of Pretoria & Unisa in 🇿🇦 are doing the ONLY research on them!

On Checkpoint just now I didn't fully convey just how gutted these scientists are about what they're seeing, how worried they are. It came through intensely when they briefed us.

I applied for several REU internships and was rejected from them all - came up second at Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium, the place I was dying to work, and almost got to, but the first place candidate decided they wanted the position after all.
