Finally checking in on this account after a 3 month hiatus. I’m back in Hobart for the annual #fsa (fish stock assessment) working group meetings at #CCAMLR! Excited to attend and present a paper on my upcoming voyage, and to meet such wonderful people. Here are some of the amazing women of FSA!

Abandoning Antarctic krill management measure threatens conservation progress (commentary)
All along the western Antarctic Peninsula, whales, penguins and seals in their millions depend on krill (Euphausia superba) throughout the year. In the most rapidly warming region on the continent,…

👍🏽 Nice profile on @researcherose.bsky.social, who's also a PhD student working with Cassandra Brooks on how Southern Ocean fisheries can be best understood & managed
It’s time to pull back the curtain to show the faces and people behind the work of PSECCO, starting with our very own social media strategist, Rose Leeger! Learn more about her and see photos from her latest adventure on the RSV Nuyina in the first of our “meet the team” posts! Stay tuned for more!

Sand-sized fossils hold secrets to the history of climate change
Foraminifera have lived almost everywhere in the ocean for millions of years. Their fossilised remains hold a record of Earth’s past.

New research out today with colleagues Bishakhdatta Gayen and Andreas Klocker projects that the world’s strongest current, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, may slow by 20% by 2050 in a high emissions future. So happy to have this out for the world to read!

Earth’s strongest ocean current could slow down by 20% by 2050 in a high emissions future
Melting Antarctic ice is releasing cold, fresh water into the ocean, which is projected to cause the slowdown

As our plane landed in Hobart, Tasmania there was a land acknowledgement included in the flight attendant’s debrief acknowledging the traditional stewards of this land. Meanwhile in the US we are dismantling the little bit of DEI we have left. What a paradox

Sometimes as grad students we forgot how much impact our mentorship has. This was from a friend- a fellow student I met in one of my joint undergrad/grad classes last year. Mentorship is crucial for the next generation of students, and I’m so proud of them for getting into grad school!
