Great kickoff Daniel Nielsen to the first day of #POLAR2018 in scenic #Davos UTS Research


If we don't take #action, the collapse of our civilisations and the #extinction of much of the natural world is on the horizon. - Sir David Attenborough UN Climate Change BBC Earth #climatechange United Nations #COP24

Loving being back at Heron, but looks like another warm summer for the #coralreef UTS Research UTS Science



#Coral bleaching experiment well under way Heron Island. More than 280 cell extractions counted so far, thanks to our two young #research volunteers Eva Fernández UTS Research UTS Science


This is what three weeks of #coral symbiont sampling for cell counts looks like. Another awesome and productive trip to Heron Island UTS Science


An awesome PhD defence, fantastic company and sightseeing in beautiful Svalbard #polar science UTS Science

Diatoms look like "beautiful jewel boxes under the microscope" says #UTSScience Katherina Petrou but new UTS Research shows in Southern Oceans these critical #phytoplankton species are under threat from #ocean #acidification uts.ac/340rRXe The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand


Calcifying organisms aren't the only casualties of #oceanacidification. Antarctic #diatoms also feel it's sting NatureClimate nature.com/articles/s4155… UTS Research antarctica.gov.au
