Meet Emma Chesley Emma Chesley (she/her), the Benthic Ecology Lab’s new research technician. Emma earned her B.S. in Fisheries and Wildlife from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in May 2022. Born and raised in Nebraska, it can be surprising to find out she’s so interested in the ocean.

Dolphins, manatees, and rays oh my! A week after #HurricaneIan, we were happy to be in the #field to perform our 4th quarter #monitoring. Although the brunt of the storm didn't hit this region, we’re keen to process samples to see how the #infauna communities fared.📸Emma Chesley (she/her)

My final day as a SmithsonianMarineStn #postdoc with this wonderful team -including those not in the group photo today! Thank you all this memorable experience. Excited to continue collaborating for more groundbreaking #research on the impact of ocean deoxygenation on #coralreefs 🪸

#DYK today is #WorldWetlandsDay? Celebrate it by taking a tour of the #softbottomhabitat we study in the #IndianRiverLagoon (IRL). Thanks to Emma Chesley (she/her) 's📽️ & Scott Jones for 🤿in #FL’s frigid Jan waters. #savethewetlands #essentialforall #kidneysoftheearth #loveyourlagoon

It’s #WorldSeagrassDay!🌊🌱 🌱 Seagrass is found around the globe, from the tropics to the colder temperate and arctic regions. It supports high biodiversity, removes carbon from our atmosphere and can help protect our shorelines from erosion.

🚨JOB ALERT🚨 Do you have a passion for estuarine restoration and a love for invertebrates? We're hiring! See the post for more info and send your cover letter, CV, and 3 references to Dr. Holly Sweat ([email protected]) by March 17, 2023! #jobalert #benthicecology

So excited to announce that I was awarded the U.S. National Science Foundation GRFP!!! I’m still completely shocked, this is truly a dream come true! I’m forever thankful for all the support from my family, friends, and mentors. Grateful to be pursuing my passions in coral reef science! 🪸🇵🇷

Had such a amazing time at tonight’s poster presentation! Can’t wait for the next few days! #BEM2023

Had a great time at #BEM2023 sharing my research on UV-A light as an antifoulant in marine vessel plumbing systems. SMS Benthic Ecology Lab

POV: you are an invertebrate our benthic ecologists found in the Indian River Lagoon! 🔬🪱🦀 #indianriverlagoon #benthicecology #loveyourlagoon #pov

New #OA paper in Marine Ecology Progress Series (MEPS)📢 Assessing genetic differentiation for species with high gene flow can be challenging. We show that #relatedness can be a useful tool to detect isolation-by-distance & can help with #MPA design if carefully applied🧬🐟 ▶️int-res.com/abstracts/MEPS…

Last week at the Indian River Lagoon Symposium I presented research I have been conducting for the past year. My work in the Benthic Lab has transitioned to contributing to a long-term benthic infaunal monitoring project to inform the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan.

Had another successful Benthic Ecology Meeting presenting my work from the SMS Benthic Ecology Lab! #BEM24

Amazing performance by the Casey lab at the 52nd Benthic Ecology Meeting! 🧬🐠 Shoot out to Hannah Rempel Zoé Delecambre for winning best presentation awards 🏆#BEM2024

29 whales were found dead on the shores of Germany, their stomachs filled with plastic waste dumped in the sea.

This 15-year-old dog can't see, but he sticks close to the sound of his mom's voice.

When you have two "once every 500 years" storms IN THE SAME WEEK it is time to acknowledge the climate has changed. x.com/michaelrlowry/…
