Had a great fieldtrip to Waitomo yesterday with the Speleo QUEST team for monitoring in Waipuna cave! I really missed this landscape! @SFMBreitenbach Ola Kwiecien uɐʍɹɐɯ ʇɹǝqɹou 🕊 Adam Hartland 🔋⚡️

Speleo QUEST @SFMBreitenbach Adam Hartland 🔋⚡️ Ola Kwiecien Maximilian Hansen In our way!! Following Smart elephant and Lucky cat advice! QuestTeam is about to explore Niue caves and looking forward to reveal ENSO records :) 🇳🇺🌴💕✨

Today we began exploring coastal caves along the western coast of Niue. The first site, Avaiki, did not disappoint. No photoshop here- yes the water is really that blue! Speleo QUEST

Had a pretty good start exploring the caves of Niue with the Speleo QUEST team today. What a scenery to work in! Adam Hartland 🔋⚡️ Ola Kwiecien Cinthya Nava

The Speleo QUEST team on its way through the niuean bush to explore more caves in order to find the perfect study site. What a little paradise this is! @SFMBreitenbach Adam Hartland 🔋⚡️ Ola Kwiecien Cinthya Nava

After 2 month of working and traveling in the southern hemisphere, the time is there for packing and securing some samples from our amazing Speleo QUEST fieldtrip to Niue for my trip home. Thanks Adam Hartland 🔋⚡️ for an awsome time! Cinthya Nava @SFMBreitenbach Ola Kwiecien

So excited to share the Syp - automatic water sampler. Built for extremes. Developed by engineers in collaboration with cave scientists. Now available from WSI. @SFMBreitenbach Sebastian Hoepker waikatoscientific.com/syp The University of Waikato 🎓 Environmental Research Institute

NEW #PhD alert! 🚨 Study #ecosystem and #climate dynamics at the End-Permian mass extinction in #NewZealand with Terry Isson at the University of Waikato - Tauranga The University of Waikato 🎓. Please RT @SFMBreitenbach @tinyicybubbles Maximilian Hansen @WorryTimez

A long road to Speleo QUEST fruition, and with very nice AE comments: "its important and thorough conclusions are accessible within and beyond the geochemical community.  Thanks for submitting your best work to GCA" 😊 with Ingrid Lindeman, D Scholz @SFMBreitenbach Maximilian Hansen

👇Check out our latest Speleo QUEST study in @GCA_Journal. A fantastic piece of work by Ingrid Lindeman, featuring @SFMBreitenbach +Maximilian Hansen We show that organics in cave waters control the capture of metals by #speleothems with climatic significance. authors.elsevier.com/a/1e6Th3p4ZMsL…

Hey 🤔. Considering higher study? 🧐Why not enrol a PhD for Christmas 🥳 In a surprise turn around, I'm recruiting again for this position which would suit a multi-talented geoscientist / cave nerd #PhDposition Please RT @SFMBreitenbach

Check out our latest study in @GCA_Journal! We investigate disequilibrium clumped isotope fractionation during formation of speothem calcite using our artificial cave system: authors.elsevier.com/a/1eQTO3p4ZMsY…

Feeling super positive about our latest #speleothem research trip to Whakapunake. The mountain hosts phenomenal caves and we're just getting started on this MBIE smart idea with Sebastian Hoepker. P.s. we have a #phd open to work with us DM if interested.

Cave researchers these days, honestly.. 😉 Finding your cave monitoring too strenuous? Why not take a break? Take a Syp! waikatoscientific.com/syp Sebastian Hoepker @SFMBreitenbach The University of Waikato 🎓

So, come meet us on Monday, Zoom, Meeting ID: 891 6440 9025, Passcode: 708654 @SFMBreitenbach Adam Hartland 🔋⚡️ Janica Bühler @geo_mbi Yassine Ait Brahim (ياسين) Kerstin Braun Dr. Kathleen Johnson Carbonate Critical Zone RCN Ana Moreno Caballud Jun Hu speleothem-Xing Cheng @DrFranziskaAnna Maximilian Hansen Valdir F. Novello Jon Woodhead

So cool to get these periodic updates on Syp and seeing adoption grow. 15 units deployed in caves worldwide and growing rapidly! Great work by the WaikatoLink team! 👏

Thanks S4 committee for inviting me over! It's an honour to be back at an S4 event! #S42023

Thanks S4 committee for organising such an excellent event! #S42023
