Gribben Lab

Our lab is a group of marine scientists, lead by Dr Paul Gribben, working in a range of areas from fundamental ecology to habitat restoration and conservation.

Some classic marine fieldwork taking place in #Kioloa today - Honours students Iva and Rachel are tagging limpets! Have to be quick to catch them 💨

PhD opportunity looking at the role of #microbes and genetics in mediating #seagrass response to environmental stress. Join our friendly, multidisciplinary lab! https://t.co/4Ywz5Ddli1

On the way back to Sydney after a week of science at #CERF2023. Thank you @CERFScience for a great conference and for letting me present some of my PhD work on #seagrass and their belowground #microbiome 🦠@GribbenLab @ZiggyMarzinelli @unswcmsi

[Paul Gribben @DR_GRIB]

Great CERF conf in Portland...Aussies representing @Renske_Jongen @stacey_teetee @unswcmsi @joseelhart @HannahEWesley

Another intense but successful field day! 🌱🌊 Sampled the first time point of the ‘big’ experiment. 840 tubes were filled, 360 #seagrass plants were clipped and bagged, and lots of snacks were eaten. Many thanks again to @katie_erick, @LDAW12 and Julia Hammans! 🌊

[Renske Jongen @Renske_Jongen]

What a week! What a team! ‘The big field experiment’ looking at the effect of ocean warming on #seagrass and #sediment #microbes is set up! 🌱🌊 Thank you so much @katie_erick, @agus_piccaluga, @StephAtko and @LDAW12, you were amazing! @SydneySOLES @ZiggyMarzinelli @GribbenLab

What a good looking group of scientists! We had a fantastic time at our Oyster Reef ARC Linkage Workshop - wonderful to hear from students and partners at TNC and DPI about all the research we have achieved over the past three years🎉🎉

HUGE effort from @katie_erick to inform us on how to most efficiently get fish assemblage data out of our unbaited oyster reef videos. A lot of advantages to using MeanCount in these situations! https://t.co/KPBhTBp1Y3

Some #seagrass underwater gardening 👩‍🌾. New experiment set up with the fantastic help of @katie_erick, Dani, Steph and Emmerson! 🦠🌊 #microbes @SydneySOLES @GribbenLab

[Dr Rick Leong @rickcleong]

Offi-shell-ly graduated with a PhD. 🦪😅 Big thanks to my blood & research fam @unswbees, @unswcmsi, @GribbenLab & @DR_GRIB for coming to my graduation day! 🎓👨‍🎓

PhD opportunity looking at the role of microbes in controlling #seagrass response and #resilience to #climate change. Come join our large, friendly international team! https://t.co/YmAqgLN7fj

Exciting to get out into the seagrass and do some sampling of Zostera and Halophila sp. last week! Bodyboards can be so useful..

Thanks @katie_erick @Renske_Jongen @orlamckibbin @HannahEWesley Dana Lanceman & Luke Walker for field help, and @DR_GRIB @ZiggyMarzinelli Tim Glasby!

[Katie Erickson @katie_erick]

@joseelhart and I went searching for Zostera and Halophila at Lake Macquarie - and found both! We also found the perfect sunny lunch spot😎

The Gribben Lab does it better... thanks everyone for a wonderful lab retreat in #Kioloa! Sadly missing a couple of lab members, but all the reason to do it again soon 🦀🐬🏄

[Renske Jongen @Renske_Jongen]

Really happy and grateful to be the winner of this award. Thank you @EcolSocAus and looking forward to talk about #seagrass at the conference in October! 🌊🌱

[Paul Gribben @DR_GRIB]

In our new paper we review how two global stressors interact with native aquatic communities. Massive effort @JebByers and team. @unswcmsi @GribbenLab @UGAEcology @unswbees https://t.co/PbKnKRW1Rk

[Hannah Wesley @HannahEWesley]

Had a great time in the field last week testing some sampling methods for my PhD looking at the influence of bioturbation on sediment functioning in restored salt marsh @GribbenLab @AnjGopakumar @katie_erick @joseelhart

[Talia Stelling-Wood @tstellingwood]

Our new experiment is out at @SydneyMarine! Previously we found variation in #sargassum frond size controlled it’s value as predation refuge for epifauna. Now we’re testing for the universality of this relationship using 3D printed algae mimics @GribbenLab @UNSWScience @unswcmsi

The Gribben lab at #AMSA22 in Cairns - not in wetsuits or field gear for once!
