No luck getting to Antarctica yet... weather and run-way damage causing delays. Fingers crossed we will get there soon though! Interested in learning more about the Antarctic Winfly season? Check out my latest blog post: rowanmclachlan.wixsite.com/website/post/w…

That’s a wrap on #ISME18 ! Here’s some of the science we shared over the past week: Emily Schmeltzer Emily presented her work on library prep methods for working with coral viral metagenomes on large spatial scales in Moorea, French Polynesia 🌊1/n …

On our first day, we took an #Antarctica survival training course! Want to know how to survive in an emergency on the ice? Have a look! (4 min read) rowanmclachlan.wixsite.com/website/post/t…

Today's blog is about the three types of weather conditions we get here at #McMurdo. After commenting on how bad the weather was today - I was laughed at - and quickly informed that today was a pleasantly mild day by #Antarctica standards! Yikes! 🥶🥶🥶 rowanmclachlan.wixsite.com/website/post/m…

YouTube Dr. Rowan McLachlan Studying Antarctic Ecosystems.

Always great to revisit research sites whose study led to our understanding of how polar ecosystems work. youtu.be/L51j89cKArU Dr. Rowan McLachlan CEOAS - Oregon State #NSFfunded

Trying my hand at underwater panoramas. Here is Dr. Andrew Thurber of Thurber Lab @ OSU cruising under the sea ice and over the anchor ice at Daytons Wall, #McMurdo Sounds, #Antarctica

My latest blog post is about a strange encounter I had this week diving in #Antarctica. The #ocean is filled with wonderful aliens! rowanmclachlan.wixsite.com/website/post/e…

I officially have the best commute in the world right now. Here we are driving parallel to the Transantarctic Mountain range on our way to SCUBA dive under the sea ice. Am I awake rn? #Antarctica #McMurdo #Fieldwork

Diving under the ice in #Antarctica is an almost indescribable experience. Words and photos do not do justice to the beauty of the lighting down there. On this dive we collected bryozoans for a pilot study on trophic carbon pathways Thurber Lab @ OSU

Very excited to share this paper!! We followed carbon from coral parents to eggs to examine reproductive trade-offs after bleaching. Trophic provisioning and parental trade-offs lead to successful reproductive performance in corals after a bleaching event nature.com/articles/s4159…

New work out with Sarah Leinbach and Dr. Marie Strader on the response of Acropora hyacinthus to a severe marine heatwave in Moorea 🪸

Our article 'Unified methods in collecting, preserving, and archiving coral bleaching and restoration specimens” was one of the top 5 most viewed #BiologicalOceanography articles published in PeerJ - the Journal of Life & Environment journal in 2022! 😊 peerj.com/articles/14176/

A new study shows seawater heating rate during MHWs is good predictor of #coralbleaching severity in #Pocillopora & #Plesiastrea #corals doi.org/10.3354/meps14…

This week in Moorea we received a special invite aboard the Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic Vessel, The Orion. Here is a short 3 min blog about our lovely evening sharing our research! rowanmclachlan.wixsite.com/website/post/i… Vega Thurber Lab

Here's a timelapse showing what our morning routine looks like as we get ready to SCUBA dive on the forereef on the north shore of the island of #Moorea. Today, there was a lot of ocean swell as you can tell by the boat rocking! #GUMPstation Burkepile Lab Vega Thurber Lab
