Valuing Darkness Conference on light pollution will take place March 19th-21st in Naarm (Melbourne). Mariana will be sharing research on the effects of light pollution in marine systems, but lots of other interesting talks as well! https://t.co/NGVI2pFXI6

New paper out this week on the effects of artificial light at night on in-situ fish predation and herbivory intensity on rocky reefs! Led by Honours student @gyeungMarine with @cariocamayer and @millycaley

New paper! Antagonistic Effects of Light Pollution and Warming on Habitat‐Forming Seaweeds - with @CariocaMayer @ProfMariaByrne @ZiggyMarzinelli https://t.co/VEFNYcrapC

Yesterday we deployed a new experiment for PhD student Lena Holtmanns, looking at the interactive effects of Artificial Light at Night and habitat complexity. Modules have two complexity levels, and half are lit with these floating underwater lights. Super exciting!

Fun with seagrass chambers in Lake Macquarie!

🌊 It’s out there! Curious about Sydney’s underwater gardens? Take a look at some of the striking effects the urban estuarine environment can have on its kelp forests ! 🏙️🌱

Congratulations to our lab member Thayanne Lima Barros who submitted her PhD last month on the impacts of bushfires in estuaries! Thay was supervised by Mariana Mayer Pinto, Katie Dafforn, Emma Johnston and Stuart Simpson. Awesome work!

[SEACS @seacs.bsky.social @SEACSlab]

This month, we hosted our first ever lab writing retreat in the beautiful Avoca beach! It was a great chance to connect lab members based at different institutions, and to facililate discussions, run peer review sessions, and of course lots of writing and team-building 😊

The third paper of my PhD is now published in @Oikos_Journal w/ @ljfalkenberg !📢 We explored how seasonality and interactions with epiphytic algae and grazers can affect the responses of seagrass to marine heatwaves.🦠🐌🌱🌊 Check it out here: https://t.co/QcU7OSJmHU

Happy #InternationalWomensDay2024!

Our Superstars of STEMM were making waves at the Australian National Maritime Museum Women In STEM careers expo!

We had a great time speaking to the next generation of scientists!

Thank you @seamuseum_ & #internationalwomensday!

@MelanieJBishop Thanks Mel! 😊

[Milly Caley @millycaley.bsky.social @millycaley]

First publication! Exciting! 😊
