Exploring and enhancing our harbours.

@jsEklof Thanks @jsEklof! I know that article very well. It is a very nice one :)

Oyster reefs facilitate bioturbation in surrounding sediments. You can read all about it here: https://t.co/Md33SSqYvu. Also, a sneak peek of upcoming work, these same bioturbators drive nutrient cycling around reefs. Stay tuned, a lot more to come @SydneySOLES @harbourprogram

Dear anatomists and medical people,
I took this thermal image of my feet and discovered my left middle toe is significantly warmer than my right middle toe. Why? Different vasculature/circulation? Is this asymmetry common in feet? Many thanks in advance!

So excited to welcome @DilerniaNikki (back) to the team to start a cool new project #oceandeoxygenation - great way to be starting 2022!!

Amazing take over from the @harbourprogram group and their awesome army of postgrads!! If you haven’t seen today’s feed at @themarinediary you better go and check it out! Really great and key research on the intertidal remnant Sydney rock oyster reefs of Australia!

Microbes may be small, but their effects on #oysterreef nutrient cycling are substantial! @DrKDafforn studies how microbial communities mediate #denitrification pathways, by using these custom-built #benthicchambers … (1/3)

Check out our high-tech system for videoing #fish on #oysterreefs! @willfig’s Honours students @ChrisUndrTheSea & @katie_erick have been identifying fish communities so we can tailor our #reefrestoration efforts to maximize their function as fish habitat… (1/3)

#Bioremediation is one of @DrABugnot’s key interests, as these #bioturbators could be used alongside restored oyster reefs to #remediate excess nutrients from the sediment (2/2)

[The Marine Diaries @themarinediary]

How does landscape context affect epifaunal assemblage and #predation on oyster reefs? @DR_GRIB’s students Ruby and Josee are finding out by building and distributing oyster cages in #seagrass, #mangrove, and bare sediment habitats … (1/2)

[The Marine Diaries @themarinediary]

What factors influence recruitment on #oysterreefs? 🔎🤔 PhD student @rickleong has been setting up recruitment tiles on remnant oyster reefs to see if sediment deposition plays a role. So far, he’s found drivers of #settlement are site-specific! @DR_GRIB @DRABugnot

[The Marine Diaries @themarinediary]

Australian #oysterreef habitat has declined drastically since pre-colonisation times. Our focus is studying the funamendal #ecology of our remnant oystereefs in order to provide guidelines for future #restoration efforts @GribbenLab https://t.co/auszpiD27I

[Sydney Harbour Research Program @harbourprogram]

We're taking over #themarinediary for 24hrs to showcase our using remnant oyster reef research. Follow the tweets. @unswcmsi @DR_GRIB @UNSWScience @unswbees

[The Marine Diaries @themarinediary]

Join us ✨TOMORROW✨(🗓️31st) for a #takeover by the Sydney Harbour Research Program!

They will discuss their ongoing research on remnant Sydney Rock #OysterReefs, and what they are learning to help the #ShellfishRestoration efforts in Australia.

[Sydney Harbour Research Program @harbourprogram]

We are doing a #TakeOver of @themarinediary today to talk about our research on Sydney Rock #oysterreefs, and what we are learning to help the #shellfishrestoration efforts! Tune in to find out what our students are up to, supported by partners @nswdpi & @nature_org.

Last (but not least) PhD paper is finally out! 🌊🌊🌊

Our oyster reef research spotlighted at the new Sydney Harbour Gallery @seamuseum_. Check it out! @SydneyMarine

[Dr Rick Leong @rickcleong]

Honoured to be a recipient of the 2020 @Society4ConBio Student Award to better understand #ecological #baselines of #SydneyRockOyster #reefs in New South Wales. Thank you #SCB!🙏 @DR_GRIB @AlistairPoore @ZiggyMarzinelli @DrABugnot @harbourprogram @EERC_UNSW @SCBOceania @unswbees

[Paul Gribben @DR_GRIB]

A great PhD opportunity for a student interested in marine plants and how below-ground processes (e.g. plant-soil feedbacks) controls their health and resilience/resistance to environmental stress . Link to the application is here https://t.co/piH37MOVg4. @unswcmsi @unswbees
