This week’s fieldwork: Capturing plastic sample reflectance with #CSIRO’s #HydraSpectra sensors under clear skies. Great progress and strong teamwork on the dock, supporting #AquaWatch’s mission for real-time coastal water quality monitoring. #PlasticPollution #CoastalResearch

Honoured to present our work on Sarawak’s mangroves at "The League of Tropical Universities Summit 2025" in beautiful #Hainan! A wonderful experience learning from our amazing tropical colleagues across Asia, Africa, and South America. #TropicalResearch #MangroveConservation

Agar, action, and a splash of science! Our FYP students dive into coral microbiomes, prepping marine agar and battling 𝘝𝘪𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘪𝘭𝘺𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘴 with potential probiotic allies. Stay tuned for some microbe-powered discoveries!

Excited to share our latest work in @JournalofRS! A novel algorithm to automatically map & monitor intertidal #seagrass meadows by integrating optical & SAR images. The algorithm was tested across 15 sites globally.

📢 Pristine #mangroves absorb nitrous oxide (N₂O), offsetting up to 71% of local methane (CH₄) emissions.

🌍 Globally, mangrove N₂O uptake may offset one-third of aquatic CH₄ emissions, boosting their overall #climate benefit.

What a lovely day for fieldwork ☀️

Our FYP @Swinburne_Swk students are out collecting in-situ CO₂ flux measurements using LI-COR 8100 Analyzer under the vast skies.

Ocean acidification is a key stressor on the ocean ecosystem. How will plankton respond - and what are the wider C cycle feedbacks?

Happy new year to everyone. Today is day 1 of our new @HorizonEU project TRICUSO, designed to integrate effort from @ICOS_RI, @EuroArgoERIC, @EMBRC_EU & @EuroGO_SHIP together in support of the @WMO Global Greenhouse Gas watch in the Southern Ocean.

LI-COR in action at Belawai #mangroves! 🌱
#carbonflux

[LI-COR @LICOR_ENV]

Looks like that unit has put in some quality field time… good luck with the new season!

[AQUES_MY @aques_my]

Here we go again, ready for our sampling trip to Belawai!

Throwback @ “Mindful Sharing through Games for AquaWatch Mission in Sarawak” workshop. Engaging in interactive game-based activities to explore real-life applications focused on #waterquality monitoring. Session ended with insights & next steps for #AquaWatch Mission in Sarawak.

[AQUES_MY @aques_my]

@LICOR_ENV Yes, indeed !! Needs a little love but still going strong !! @LICOR_ENV

@AndreasHeinem Hi @AndreasHeinem, thanks for rhat. Which ones do you use ? Lithium batteries can sometimes be hard to find here in Borneo but will certainly try. We also use power packs for other instruments, was going to take a look at that as well…

[AQUES_MY @aques_my]

Testing the LI-COR equipment for carbon flux measurements...
Getting ready for the upcoming Belawai fieldwork! 😎

New paper entitled "Aquatic microplastics research in the ASEAN region: Analysis of challenges and priorities" was just puished in the MPB as a one of key achievements of @SATREPS project.
