Marine ecologist at the University of Exeter working on the Convex Seascape Survey - investigating how seafloor creatures interact with carbon in a blue carbon seascape (www.convexseascapesurvey.com).
- Fascinating talk from @sarabenelli.bsky.social about the role of macrophytes and macrofauna in controlling freshwater #biogeochemistry and keeping methane locked into #sediments. Really interesting seeing this next to our marine work! @bes-aquaticgroup.bsky.social @zslofficial.bsky.social
- Interesting findings from @samuelmacaulay.bsky.social presenting his findings with MRES students on enhanced rock weathering as a Carbon Dioxide Removal tool and it's effects on riverine benthic species under experimental conditions with addition of rock material 👍🏻 #BlueCarbon #CDR
- Great talk from @drplanktonpoo.bsky.social Krill Poo may sequester as much #carbon as mangroves AND we're messing that up by fishing them out. The fishery near Antarctica shut early for the first time ever due to record catch numbers (because of more fishing) @bes-aquaticgroup.bsky.social
- Certainly not for the hump or in a flap getting here. Very cool to have a conference at @zslofficial.bsky.social London Zoo. Excited to kick off the @bes-aquaticgroup.bsky.social annual meeting! 🐫 🐧
- Excited to be winging my way to London for the @bes-aquaticgroup.bsky.social annual meeting! A first for me and excited to share mud and worm updates from the #ConvexSeascapeSurvey @exetermarine.bsky.social @bluemarinef.bsky.social @exeter.ac.uk @britishecologicalsociety.org #BlueCarbon #Inverts

- This is what we are measure! A worm & our sand used to measure burrowing. We link this to functioning on the seafloor. We're almost done! @exetermarine.bsky.social @profbenthos.bsky.social @unisouthampton.bsky.social @ulaval.ca @cezzalew.bsky.social @benthicbecky.bsky.social @omparrish.bsky.social
- Baleines! We had a great time yesterday searching for whales (turned out to be a tough day as apparently they should have been everywhere). Finally, we saw loads of Belugas (about 2 miles away). One then swam in closer, and finally, a Minke Whale cruised past! #whale #minke #whales #beluga

- Our work here in Saguenay made it onto Canadian National News. If you want a 2minute TL:DR on what we're doing with grabs and mud! youtu.be/DXhIHK2L1xA?... @exetermarine.bsky.social @unisouthampton.bsky.social @ulaval.ca @benthicbecky.bsky.social @profbenthos.bsky.social @cezzalew.bsky.social
- Grabbing muddy bottoms in Saguenay Fjord 🌊 We haul mud from 250 m down, in each a world of hidden life. In the lab we learn how they keep the seabed healthy 💙 @exetermarine.bsky.social @unisouthampton.bsky.social @benthicbecky.bsky.social @profbenthos.bsky.social @cezzalew.bsky.social @ulaval.ca
- The #ConvexSeascapeSurvey is in Canada! A collaboration between @ulaval.ca @exetermarine.bsky.social and @unisouthampton.bsky.social is investigating the role of animals that live in mud on the #seafloor in helping bury #BlueCarbon and keep our #climate healthy.
- It's the @exetermarine.bsky.social Summer Showcase!! A day for networking and sharing with our colleagues across our campuses as well as organisations we are lucky to work closely with including @zslscience.bsky.social @plymouthmarine.bsky.social DEFRA and The Marine Biological Assc. @exeter.ac.uk

- Talk day! Excited to be sharing my research on the impacts of bioturbation on nutrient cycling in the benthos and the implications for carbon storage in soft sediment habitats. @egu.eu @exetermarine.bsky.social @bluemarinef.bsky.social #CarbonScience #BlueCarbon #Ecology #MudScience

- Wir sind angekommen! @egu.eu Day 1 - Team #ConvexSeascapeSurvey and others with a fascinating #BlueCarbon poster session. All talks are tomorrow from 16.15 in Room 2.17 @exetermarine.bsky.social @exeter.ac.uk @bluemarinef.bsky.social
- Excited to be winging my way to Vienna for @egu.eu and looking forward to presenting our work on the #ConvexSeascapeSurvey! If you want to chat mud, worms and carbon I'm all ears! #BlueCarbon #EGU25 #EGUVienna #CarbonScience #ShellYeah #NoSpineFeelFine
- Gearing up to: A) Conference season - @egu.eu Vienna next week B) Going to Canada as part of the #ConvexSeascapeSurvey so delivering equipment for the slow boat shipment to Southampton tomorrow C) Finish 5 papers and a fellowship application ASAP So I'll start doing some Bluesky! Not much then!
- Great to see @fishtekmarine.bsky.social #DiscoScallops landing on plates at my favourite fish restaurant #Rockfish Innovative marine research that is making for healthier #seafood and a healthier #seabed @exetermarine.bsky.social @bluemarinef.bsky.social
- Very lucky to have access to this wonderful space to have some quiet and focussed work time. The Devon and Exeter Institution was founded in 1813 for "The general diffusion of science, literature and the arts". I hope the academic prowess stored within is diffusing into my brain as I work here!
- Excited to take a step up to interchangeable lenses in my #underwaterphotograpgy It's twice the size but I'm looking forward to getting to grips with it underwater (literally). Just strobes to get (and more lenses, arms, floats, gears etc.) #Underwater #Olympus #OlympusOMD #Macro #SCUBADiving
