Really excited to share our new @kelprescue paper on bull #kelp and giant #kelp population #genomics.
We identify the genetic structure of these two critical species and investigate the consequence of small population size for genetic health & restoration

Had a great time participating in the DBCA school outreach program aimed at inspiring young minds in WA towards ecology and conservation

Excited to share the Phaeoexplorer paper out today in Cell: Evolutionary genomics of the emergence of brown algae as key components of coastal ecosystems! 🌊 Including the genome of Dictyota dichotoma and many more! https://t.co/4rM2YGhmuU #Seaweed

Huge thanks to @ForrestResearch and @uwaoceans for supporting this opportunity to attend #COP29

It has been amazing to see all of the ways that people from all over the world engage with the greatest challenge of all time

[UWA Oceans Institute @uwaoceans]

At #COP29 in Baku this week, the Oceans Institute was proud to showcase innovative solutions to accelerate decarbonisation and reach net zero targets.

From wave power to offshore renewables and blue carbon credits, we’re driving progress in sustainable energy.

[UWA Oceans Institute @uwaoceans]

Our OI team have arrived in Baku, Azerbaijan for COP29. These conferences are the world’s only multilateral decision-making forum on climate change that brings together almost every country on Earth. We’re excited to be attending alongside key partners & friends of the Institute

🌊1/Seaweed forests worldwide are changing rapidly due to climate change. Western Australia’s forests are dramatic examples of this, but what about the biodiversity hotspot on the south coast? Our latest historical ecology research finds out... 🧵

🌱Seaweed forests of the south coast of Australia contain ~15% of the world's seaweed species 😲 These forests contribute uniquely to temperate reef ecosystem functions https://t.co/MonkSfPlDM, but little is known about how they are responding to climate change...

REVIEW
Impacts of marine heatwaves in coastal ecosystems depend on local environmental conditions

A big thanks to my awesome coauthors including @pessa_3, @GeorgeValentin_, @Filbeek , @cneufeld5, @MelindaAColeman, @twernberg

@uwaoceans @uwanews @BiolSci_UWA

[Samuel Starko @SamStarko]

Why are the impacts of #climatechange so variable? Excited to share our new review paper in @GlobalChangeBio which explores the role of local environmental variation in mediating the impacts of extreme marine heatwaves

Happy to share my first paper!

Featuring the first spatial quantification of #metalpollution in a tropical seagrass meadow and showing how metal concentrations differ between two #seagrass species 🌱

[Samuel Starko @SamStarko]

While these are options for PhD projects, there may be other opportunities available in our lab group. So if you are interested in kelp forest ecology, climate change, tropicalisation or blue carbon but these projects don't speak to you, please still reach out!

[Samuel Starko @SamStarko]

Join us at @uwaoceans in beautiful Perth, Australia!

@twernberg and I are looking for PhD students to study #kelp #forests and #climatechange. Applications due July 31! Both domestic and international students are encouraged to apply.

Please share widely :)

[Samuel Starko @SamStarko]

Perth is a stunning place to live and work. Imagine waking up to this every day!

[Samuel Starko @SamStarko]

@chrisecornwall @denisaquatic @Ashtyn_Isaak How long will you be up there for?? I am heading up tomorrow for 10 days

[Samuel Starko @SamStarko]

Looking for a place to send your manuscript on seaweeds and climate change? We have just lauched a new research topic in FMARS!

[Dr Christopher Cornwall @chrisecornwall]

Our research topic on the Impacts of Climate Change on Seaweeds has launched. Led by myself, @cohblain @SamStarko @MaggieDJohnson @denisaquatic. If you work in this area, please feel free to submit to Frontiers in Marine Science's Global Change section: https://t.co/ZlJ0ouOp9X

🌿🌿🐠How do we restore marine forests at ecologically-meaningful scales?

In our new article we discuss current challenges and emerging solutions from 25 projects around the world
