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!

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.
@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…
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.
