DriftersLab

IMAS based lab group focusing on #zooplankton ecology, especially in the Southern Ocean.

[DriftersLab @DriftersLab]

Welcome to the Drifters official Twitter page! We are a group of research scientists and students based in Nipaluna/ Tasmania @imas_utas studying all things #Zooplankton. We mostly focuses on the Southern ocean but also venture into the temperate waters around our little island.

👏 Congrats to AAPP/@IMASUTAS PhD student Pimnara ‘Nia’ Riengchan on landing an award from the Holsworth Wildlife Research Endowment. Nia studies how ocean acidification affects the shell-building of planktonic sea snails (pteropods) in the Southern Ocean.

Come join our lab group!
Are you interested in a phd looking at zooplankton and ocean productivity? Then we have just the project for you!

I presented my first poster of my PhD the other week at the @Ant_Partnership annual workshop. I have attached a picture of it here if anyone is interested in what the @DriftersLab have been up to this year

Are you interested in the pathways krill take as they are washed around Antarctica, and how that may change in the future? New #PhD project at @IMASUTAS with me and @AbigailJRSmith

Welcome @CamiCM_ ! Camila's PhD project will use biomarkers to trace how changing sea ice affects the ecological roles of Antarctic krill and zooplankton in the Southern Ocean @weldrixx @IMASUTAS

[Melanie Borup @MelanieBorup]

Abstract submission for SCAR open science closing soon (June 1)! I'm convening a session with @cathking1969 and @SpeddingTim on #contaminant impacts and #remediation in #Antarctica

Submit your abstracts at https://t.co/8BjvOeWHfP

Hope to see you there! #SCAR2022 @SCAR_Tweets

Huge week for the Drifters this week! @svenja_halfter and Katy Baker set sail on the #rvinvestigator as part of the SOTS: automated moorings for climate and carbon cycle studies in the Southern Ocean voyage. We wish them smooth sailing and hope they have a successful trip!
