Just published! Our first paper from research in Haiti: Anthropogenic nutrients mitigate importance of fish-mediated nutrient supply for seagrass beds 🐟 Congrats to past UMich Ecology and Evolutionary Biology lab undergrad, Emily Brines, on her first first-author paper! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

What a crazy cool past couple of weeks! First conference as a PhD student and won the best poster prize with my work with Coastal Ecology and Conservation Lab. Then I presented my PhD plan with Centre for Coastal Biogeochemistry and confirmed as a candidate. And covid to spice things up😅 Now, ready for the field season!

Two new exciting PhD projects in the Centre working on GHG emissions from flooded drylands. Great international team (NASA, CSIRO), field work or modelling, great employment outcomes for our graduates. scu.edu.au/graduate-schoo…

Finally published in nature : river metabolism and biogeochemistry in a changing world led by the one and only Tom Battin @RIVER_epfl and fantastic team. read here 👉 nature.com/articles/s4158…

🚨New contribution: Jonas Letschert and I summarised findings from our #ISATEC Masters theses - check it out if #NIS invasive marine species in #Galapagos and #Tourism impact on reef #fish in the #CookIslands are up your alley 🏝️🐠 link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…

To my German-speaking friends and colleagues, here is our paper in the Tageschau!! tagesschau.de/wissen/klima/a…

Check out the news story on Mona's PNAS paper scu.edu.au/engage/news/la…

Holy cow!

Today published in NatureClimate: Coastal vegetation and estuaries are collectively a greenhouse gas sink. A new synthesis of coastal #CO2 + #CH4 + #N2O fluxes in 10 world regions and globally. Read here: nature.com/articles/s4155…

1/2 🌿🐟=💥New paper alert! Just published my latest (royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…) w/ the amazing Coastal Ecology and Conservation Lab! 🎉 Turns out, seagrass love fish pee. It's a goldmine of nutrients that boost their growth, even under fishing pressure & human nutrient influence.

2/2 Artificial reefs that attract fish and their magical pee play a crucial role in boosting seagrass production! And maybe even carbon storage🌱🌟 nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/…

Our traditional Christmas lunch at the Eltham pub. Probably the biggest group we have had.

🚨New funding = new PhD position. Come work with me on #methane cycling in #mangroves in Australia. #findaphd #phdchat + world best surfing beaches + 🌊🌴🏄‍♀️🏝️ Details and how to apply see here: findaphd.com/phds/project/p…

Thank you @Seagrass_WSA and @ECSAssociation for sponsoring my attendance at the World Seagrass Conference!🌱🙏🏼 It was a BLAST. Can't wait til the next one.

The World Seagrass Conference in Naples was incredibly fun and unforgettable! There were so many fantastic talks by researchers about our shared seagrass obsession. My favorite part was reconnecting with old friends and making a bunch of new ones. Well done ISBW15!!
