SAMS scientists, including Prof John Howe, have joined others from around the UK on board the RRS Sir David Attenborough to investigate south-east Greenland's rapidly decaying ice sheet. Prof Howe featured on Good Morning Britain today in this report on the project, led by British Antarctic Survey 🐧.

❗ ATTENTION ALL MARINE SCIENTISTS❗ Challenger Conference - one month to go Make sure you've signed up for a place at this year's Challenger Society conference in sunny (hopefully) #Oban, starting the week of 2nd September. Register/find out more at challenger2024.co.uk

Oban next Wednesday 4th is the Scottish Association for Marine Science Rocking the boat event: a screening of three short films and then a Q&A session with some of the people featured in the films It'll Never Work The Creel Deal Fighting For The Underdog each about innovations in sustainable fisheries

🎧NEW PODCAST EPISODE Poetic sampling: when art and science collide In the latest episode of the Ocean Explorer podcast, we discuss how science helps art, and vice-versa. Listen on your streaming platform of choice or at lnkd.in/eigUFSN8 #newpodcastepisode #podcast

Just arrived at Scottish Association for Marine Science ahead of the Challenger Society conference! Delivering our “Introduction To Communicating” training to 10 lucky ECRs! It’s great to be up in Scotland again! Incredible Oceans 🐳

Ice-breaker over - time for some sleep before a busy few days of marine science deep dive with National Oceanography Centre at the Challenger Society #Challengerconf2024 in #Oban hosted by Scottish Association for Marine Science #oceanscience

#Challenger2024 is underway! Scottish Association for Marine Science director Nick Owens has opened our amazing conference with words from the Challenger Expedition, 150 years ago. Looking forward to an excellent week in Oban!

Welcome to Oban, Ocean Census! #Challenger2024

Welcome to Oban National Oceanography Centre!! #Challenger2024

🌊 And we’re off! Welcome to Oban #Challenger2024! Running from Sept 2-6, this year’s conference dives into #marinescience, focusing on #climatechange and biodiversity loss. We kicked things off last night with an icebreaker at the Oban Bay Hotel, complete with stunning sunset!

So pleased to welcome Gillen D'Arcy Wood as a keynote speaker. Recognising the state of oceans and those that researched them in the past is essential for looking forward into the state of oceans in the future. Scottish Association for Marine Science
