A permanent Lecturer job is available at my school @UNSW!! Come work with us in a brilliant place

@science_shane @HelenBostock5 @moninya @royalsocnsw It was awarded for zoology, botany and geology on rotation for many years.

@HelenBostock5 @moninya @royalsocnsw @OceanRes_UNSW @HelenBostock5, there's about 15 or 16 women on the list of previous winners: https://t.co/zIEPRh1Krx. I think Moninya is the first oceanographer (male or female) to win the medal, however.

[Royal Society of NSW @royalsocnsw]

The Royal Society of New South Wales' 2023 Discipline Awards and Lectureships were awarded to @moninya, @MK_CCI, @kaarin_anstey, and @HansPols3.

We know that surface temps can mis-represent sub surface marine heatwaves. That’s why we are worming tirelessly to measure sub- surface ocean temperatures using fishing vessels.

Thanks to @IMOS_AUS for the great data as usual

[Neil Malan @NeilMalan]

To keep pace with a changing climate, and the expected increase in extreme events, we need to include freshwater discharge in our model simulations, and ensure our observe networks don’t neglect coastal salinity.

[Neil Malan @NeilMalan]

What does it all mean? With an increase in extreme rainfall expected in the future, we need to pay more attention to freshwater discharge in normally ‘dry’ areas such as eastern Australia.

[Neil Malan @NeilMalan]

Gliders showed extreme low salinity waters extended more than 70km offshore and persisted for months. We observed a vertical double-stacking phenomena with two layers of fresher water extending deeper than 50m. Stratification was controlled by salinity rather than temperature.

[Neil Malan @NeilMalan]

It turns out it hangs around for a surprisingly long time.

We used a combination of moorings, gliders and remote sensing to define an observational extremes framework for salinity. This allowed us to track the extent and longevity of freshwater plumes associated with floodwaters

What happens when a historic year of rainfall dumps a bunch of freshwater into the ocean next to a western boundary current?
In @NatureComms today, @moninya, @mphemming, Tim Ingleton and I look at the impact of the 2022 East Australian floods on the ocean

A student perspective on what it is like to spend a month at sea with @unswbees Oceanography on #RVInvestigator

[Jessica Bolin @DrJessBolin]

I recently spent 25 days aboard @CSIRO #RVInvestigator, chasing eddies in the East Australian Current system (i.e., my favourite ocean current). These were some of the best weeks of my life. A 🧵…

[Jessica Bolin @DrJessBolin]

We were a diverse team of physical oceanographers, biogeochemists, atmospheric scientists and ecologists studying mesoscale eddy-eddy interactions. With 83 CTDs, 105 XBTs, 24 drifters, 24 radiosondes, 10,000+ seabirds, and 2850 nm travelled, we had a *very* productive voyage!
