Check out our new paper in Marine Ecology Progress Series (MEPS)! We show that the #seagrass Posidonia oceanica can survive in + >1°C for decades but despite this persistence even +0.39°C has lead to a reduction in some aspects of meadow structure and a skew in its macrofauna. int-res.com/abstracts/meps…


One of the best explanations of entropy and the physical origin of life I’ve seen: youtu.be/DxL2HoqLbyA Veritasium


Check out our review on macroalgal carbon sequestration published by Cambridge Philosophical Society at doi.org/10.1111/brv.12…!

The first chapter of my PhD is out! We examined the physiological responses of two tropical seagrasses found in Hong Kong (Halophila ovalis and H. beccarii) to a simulated marine heatwave. Please check it out from the link: doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1… 🌱🌡☀️ Laura Falkenberg

Excited to see our hot-off-the-press paper published in Science Advances!! We studied the hidden impacts of an unprecedented marine heatwave on Porites lobata, an incredibly common coral species usually considered to be “stress tolerant” 🧵 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…


Check out our new paper Marine Policy where we update the state of the science regarding existing blue carbon pathways and explore emerging blue carbon opportunities. A great collaborative effort led by Jennifer Howard BlueCarbonInitiative Conservation Intl sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Check out my latest paper on #kelp detrital #photosynthesis in Marine Biology, corroborating Wright & Foggo (10.3354/meps13886) on the absence of photosynthetic #pigment loss in #detritus of #Laminaria but showing that this is not true for all kelp genera. doi.org/10.1007/s00227…

Happy to share my first PhD publication in @AnnBot. We found that detrital photosynthesis is a key determinant of #kelp detrital dynamics and is more sensitive to elevated temperature than expected: doi.org/10.1093/aob/mc…. School of Biological Sciences, UWA @UWAOceans Forrest Foundation
