Presented some current PhD work at the #SOOSSymposium2023 on searching for phytoplankton under the sea ice using tagged southern elephant seals!

Last week, 300 international scientists urgently called for more Southern Ocean science. "The current very rapid change in sea ice, we didn't see this coming. And we definitely are currently struggling to understand what's actually driving that." sbs.com.au/news/podcast-e…

Beluga habitat use in summer is important to identify for future management decisions. We used multiple discriminate analysis to differentiate between beluga habitat areas based on environmental variables and how variables related to prey availability. cdnsciencepub.com/doi/10.1139/as…

Thank you Science Magazine News from Science for telling our story. Antarctic science is more important than ever in today's changing world. We just feel 'gutted' by this huge loss. science.org/content/articl…

What can the new Hyperspectral Imaging (HI) ROV #HIcyBot do? · Works in two modes: sea-ice and benthic scanning (two highly interconnected worlds). · Every frame of the high frequency imager is timestamped via GPS clock to acoustically provided underwater position and attitude.

Excited to share our new paper out today in nature: We found that windblown iron-rich dust supports a third of the Southern Ocean’s biological productivity, highlighting the vital role dust plays in the global carbon cycle. 🌬️🏜️🌊🌱 📝 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Presented some of my PhD work that focuses on estimating net community production in Antarctic sea ice using a biomass accumulation approach at #SCAR2024

Some of the IMAS crew attending the #SCAR2024 conference over the last week. Had a blast, great networking and enjoyed the beautiful views that Chile has to offer!

Big congratulations to @klc_algae on receiving ERC funding! 👏🏼🎉

Submitted my PhD! Yew! It focuses on the physical influences on ice-associated primary production in the Antarctic 🇦🇶

Very grateful to receive the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation SCAR Fellowship! Can’t wait to get my project focused on the responses of Antarctic ice algae to changing environmental conditions started in Norway with @klc_algae lab at UiT! 👩🏼‍🔬 Thank you Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) FPA2 !

🌏 “Between NASA and NOAA, if we were to lose the capabilities of one or both of them, we’d be in a pretty dark place literally and figuratively, not knowing what’s going on with the Earth.” — Dr Alex Fraser, AAPP/University of Tasmania in Guardian Australia theguardian.com/science/2025/m…

🚨New paper in GRL! 🚨We compiled 30 years of organic carbon data from 362 #Antarctic ice cores to provide a robust estimate of net community production in sea ice - key to understanding the role of ice algae in polar ecosystems. #seaice Open access: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

1⃣ At its peak, #Antarctic sea ice covers twice the area of Australia. That's a lot of habitat for the microscopic algae that live in and under sea ice – like 'a vast unseen meadow', says AAPP PhD student Laura Dalman IMAS (seen in action on a ice floe below). 📸 S Moreau

Just arrived in Tromsø to start my SCAR fellowship work over the next couple of months focused on all things #icealgae. Thanks to the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) and FPA2 for the support in making this possible. Excited to get things started! #Antarctic meets #Arctic
