Thanks Zoe for a great week of diverse coral taxonomy in our gbr back yard!

Wow! A total of 103 conference sessions and 21 workshops will be held during #ICRS2020 !! We thank all the enthusiastic contributors for sharing their ideas and help in making ICRS 2020 a success! Want to take part? Abstract submission opens July 1st!

New review in print this week by @ReefLuke exploring what nutrient inputs to the marine environment influence coral bleaching severity. My photo from the inshore reefs around Russell Island during the 2017 bleaching event made it on the cover! Australian Institute of Marine Science Reef&Rainforest RC NESP TWQ Hub

Final paper out from my PhD! Our newly published 2-year study in Frontiers - Microbiology showed that temporal changes in #coral #microbial communities exist, but they do not reflect seasonal patterns 🦠 Australian Institute of Marine Science @CoralCoE @spectacularia Greg Torda Neal Cantin frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Put it in your diaries 🗓️ Tuesday 10th September at 12pm Great opportunity to hear from AIMS scientist Dr Neal Cantin (Neal Cantin) about the clues we find from #coral skeletons about the future of the #GreatBarrierReef. #TownsvilleShines #Townsville #Scicomm

#HappeningNow coral biologist Dr Neal Cantin from Australian Institute of Marine Science chats about his research into long-lived coral skeletons #coralbleaching #savethereef Neal Cantin #scicomm

Thanks for the invite and opportunity to talk about the history of coral bleaching on the GBR @MTQ_Townsville. Great discussion from everybody. It was a great afternoon. Australian Institute of Marine Science Reef&Rainforest RC NESP TWQ Hub

Neal Cantin in Cooktown: how to quantify bleaching across reefs Australian Institute of Marine Science

Great to welcome CANEGROWERS to our Townsville HQ this morning to discuss AIMS research on marine water quality, climate change and the #GreatBarrierReef.

AIMS scientists Cathie Page and Neal Cantin inspired #Townsville school kids during 'Speed-chat-a-scientist' at the World Science Festival Brisbane in #Townsville today!👩‍🔬👨‍🔬🐠🔎 What a wonderful way for @MTQ_Townsville to re-open the doors and welcome back the community! #STEMeducation

Dr Neil Cantin of Australian Institute of Marine Science telling PhD candidates AIMS@JCU about his journey in #marinescience

Committing to #ClimateAction can become overwhelming. So we’re sharing our net-zero journey in a resource called “Don’t #@!% the Planet.” 🌎 Our goal is to help teams navigate the ins and outs that technical step-by-step guides don’t cover. Get started: bit.ly/42Vm9UC

Meet Neal Cantin 👋 Dr Cantin is a coral reef #biologist who specialises in studying how coral reefs respond to climate change. He conducts aerial surveys + in-water observations during #coralbleaching events, & he studies #climatechange using nature’s history book - coral cores.

2024 Great Barrier Reef bleaching summary now available: aims.gov.au/sites/default/… - Fifth mass bleaching event on the Great Barrier Reef since 2016 -Very high (60-90% cover bleached) and extreme (>90%) prevalence of coral bleaching in all three regions of the Great Barrier Reef

The first aerial orthomosaics from the northern GBR during the 2024 mass coral bleaching event are up online: data.geonadir.com/image-collecti… Images are open-source to encourage resurveys and time series analysis of > 1 million georeferenced bleached corals (1/n)

We’ve finished our largest ever science activity on the #GreatBarrierReef during a mass #coralbleaching event. More than 40 scientists carried out in-water surveys to assess the fine-scale effects of heat stress this summer. More: bit.ly/3Ug2Mn4
