Can’t recommend this lab group enough!! 2 #PhD opportunities offered @ImperialSci Silwood Park with the Cavan Lab 💩🇦🇶

[Emma Cavan @emma_cavan]

Two #PhD #opportunities are available with me:

1. Data-driven modelling of the Southern Ocean #carbon sink 🇦🇶 (link below)

2. The Power of Poo 💩: detecting #ecological health and #biogeochemical function through animal faeces
(link below)

Deadline 10th Jan 2025.

New study from @emma_cavan
and colleagues published in @NatureComms shows that #Antarctic #krill play a
vital role in carbon cycling, storing similar amounts to key ‘blue carbon’ habitats such as mangroves, saltmarshes and seagrasses.

Last week, I presented our work on krill #carbon storage 🦐 at #SCAR2024 and helped run the @UKPolarNetwork and @APECS_Uruguay’s ECR workshop 🐧 Pucón was an amazing backdrop, with highlights including meeting the British ambassador to Chile and skiing on an active volcano 🌋

Join the UK Polar Network Committee!

Are you interested in supporting early-career polar researchers through networking, education and outreach, and making polar science a welcoming, and inclusive place for all? UKPN would love to have you onboard! 🧵

[UK Polar Network @UKPolarNetwork]

Anona Griffiths is our Education Officer. She is a Research Assistant at Imperial College London working on carbon storage by krill in the Southern Ocean. She is also a teacher! ❄️

Team TIME @GlacierThwaites are at McMurdo Station in Antarctica 🇦🇶 proudly displaying Antarctic Flags from schoolchildren👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

As always we are a diverse team, w/ 6 unis & 6 nationalities this year!🌍

Thanks @UKPolarNetwork for having us be flagbearers for your outreach projects!

[Anona Griffiths @AnonaGriffiths]

@svenja_halfter @ImperialLifeSci @WWF @emma_cavan @SOOSocean Yes, I’ll be there!!

[Anona Griffiths @AnonaGriffiths]

I’ve been lucky enough to spend #WorldKrillDay at the Australian Antarctic Division’s Krill Lab measuring the carbon storage of krill poo!! Here’s some of the carbon capturing crustacean superstars that I’m currently sharing an office with 🦐 @ImperialLifeSci @WWF

[Anona Griffiths @AnonaGriffiths]

Super lucky to have such a supportive supervisor!! And a great end to my masters degree 🌊 @150_challenger #Challenger150

[Emma Cavan @emma_cavan]

Super proud moment having my wonderful @GMaceCentre @ImperialSci Masters students at #Challenger150. They gave fantastic presentations whilst volunteering to help keep the conference running. Spreading the polar ocean #carbon love 🇦🇶

[Anona Griffiths @AnonaGriffiths]

Great to be able to support the @emma_cavan lab group at @150_challenger today! Really great talks from both @NatNickells and @Jasmine_ZYang!! #Challenger150 @ImperialSci @NHM_London

[Anona Griffiths @AnonaGriffiths]

First in-person conference, and first poster! Day 1 at @150_challenger was great - looking forward to day 2 and @NatNickells talk! 🦐#Challenger150 @ImperialSci

[Anona Griffiths @AnonaGriffiths]

I gave my final MRes presentation with @imperialcollege last week, at the @Silwood_Park FrEEC symposium, talking on kelp recovery in a restoration zone, as part of the Sussex Kelp Restoration Project @SussexWildlife @sussex_ifca @ZSLScience #HelpOurKelp

[Emma Cavan @emma_cavan]

Dream team marine! Ready to spread the marine love, from plankton to corals 🌊 🦐🐠 at Birds Beasts and Bugs Day 2022! @GMaceCentre @imperialcollege @ImperialSci

[Emma Cavan @emma_cavan]

Collecting plankton with @Silwood_Park @GMaceCentre Masters students @NatNickells and @AnonaGriffiths for tomorrow's Birds Beasts and Bugs Day 2022 at Silwood! Bringing some Test River esturarine plankton to the heart of Berkshire.

[Anona Griffiths @AnonaGriffiths]

Really enjoyed helping to collect baseline data for the #BugNetwork research group, through @ImperialSci - working to better understand the impacts of grazing and fungi on plant ecosystems! Not seaweed, but great to be out in the field! https://t.co/rPydN57y6C

[Sinead O'Brien @sinebrien]

Again, cannot understand why anyone is still talking about feeding seaweed to livestock as a means to reducing GHG emissions. Algae has a lot to offer as human food. We need massive reduction in livestock numbers. Feeding seaweed to them isn’t a solution. https://t.co/NBN5p70Pfr

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

I really feel that some people neglect and overlook compassion because they associate it with religion. Of course, everyone is free to choose whether they pay religion any regard, but to neglect compassion is a mistake because it is the source of our own well-being.
