Awesome article about my PhD work looking at pollen in marine sediment cores from the Hikurangi Margin 🌊

Excited to have made it to Massey University to start pollen processing on sediment from some of the TAN1613 cores from NIWA! Can’t wait to see what we find!

📢📢 #Preprint alert!! Super excited to share the first chapter of my PhD thesis. Here, we applied #machinelearning to improve the accuracy of current wave setup predictors. Now out at Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences (NHESS)! doi.org/10.5194/nhess-… coco Pablo H coastandoceancollective University of Auckland | Waipapa Taumata Rau School of Environment, The University of Auckland

Had an awesome time at my first GSNZ conference at Massey University and was stoked to take out runner up for best student poster with my first lot of results for my PhD on pollen sorting in HSM turbidities! For a closer look at my poster ➡️ linktr.ee/laura.mcd_

Massive congratulations Dr Lorna Strachan 🌊🔨 🎉 I’m so lucky to have such a fabulous and inspirational team of supervisors - including the fairy presenting the award Kat Holt 🧚‍♀️

My first, first-authored paper with coco and Pablo H is now officially published 🤩 I've also posted about it in our coastalhub.science blog. Check them out! doi.org/10.5194/nhess-… coastandoceancollective #wavesetup #geneticprogramming #gp #coastal #machinelearning

Had a great time presenting my PhD work INQUARoma2023 on pollen in turbidites School of Environment, The University of Auckland University of Auckland | Waipapa Taumata Rau NIWA

(Most of) the NZ contingent at #INQUARoma2023. We have representatives from 5 of the 6 universities (Massey University, University of Canterbury , University of Otago, WellingtonUni, School of Environment, The University of Auckland), 8 students, countless oral and poster presentations, and one gorgeous 8-month old!

The University of Otago Geology Department is facing a proposed cut of 1/3 of their staff. As a past student, this is very upsetting to hear. If you have a few seconds to sign this that would be greatly appreciated. chng.it/jrkTZzGQrr

In 2016 #NZs 2nd most powerful #earthquake struck #Kaikōura. It shook the land and the sea. Here we explain some of the carnage encountered in the seafloor! Marsden Fund School of Environment, The University of Auckland East Coast LAB | Hikurangi Subduction Zone M9 NIWA l youtu.be/n8u839kw2vU

Super stoked to be at IODP Gulf Coast Repository in College Station, Texas to see the cores I’m using for my PhD! Had some time for some quick pictures while waiting for the XRF scanner University of Auckland | Waipapa Taumata Rau School of Environment, The University of Auckland

Pretty cool name for a street 🌳 stumbled across this in Ponsonby #pollen #palynology

Check out this RNZ podcast about our work trapping pollen on the roof of Auckland Museum 🌳 So grateful to be a part of this awesome research team Kat Holt School of Environment, The University of Auckland University of Auckland | Waipapa Taumata Rau The longer version is also on Our Changing World on Spotify. rnz.co.nz/national/progr…

My first conference presentation at AQUA’24 done and dusted 👩🏼‍🏫 Minjerribah is such a special place and perfect for a mid winter escape AQUA

The first paper from my PhD is published! Hitting this milestone feels amazing and I’m so grateful for all the help and support from my supervisors and co-authors. Check out the paper in the Journal of Quaternary Science ⬇️ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jq…
