🐋🐧 Antarctic krill: small but mighty in the fight against climate change!

New @imperialcollege study, led by Dr Emma Cavan (@emma_cavan), reveals krill store similar carbon to mangroves & seagrass, but face threats from warming oceans & overfishing 🌊 imperial.ac.uk/news/256274/an…

New study from @emma_cavan
and colleagues published in @NatureComms shows that #Antarctic #krill play a
vital role in carbon cycling, storing similar amounts to key ‘blue carbon’ habitats such as mangroves, saltmarshes and seagrasses.

New research shows that #Antarctic #krill 🦐 sequester as much carbon through their sinking 💩 as mangroves and seagrass! With climate change and fishing pressures rising, protecting this carbon sink is more urgent than ever #ProtectAntarctica #BlueCarbon nature.com/articles/s4146…

A study by @emma_cavan and colleagues shows that #Antarctic #krill are important facilitators of #carbon #sequestration, transferring through their faeces as much carbon to the deep #ocean as is stored in seagrass beds and mangrove forests @imperialcollege

Last week, I presented our work on krill #carbon storage 🦐 at #SCAR2024 and helped run the @UKPolarNetwork and @APECS_Uruguay’s ECR workshop 🐧 Pucón was an amazing backdrop, with highlights including meeting the British ambassador to Chile and skiing on an active volcano 🌋

Today I officially become a faculty member @ImperialLifeSci @GMaceCentre!! Very excited for the next chapter in my career and grateful for the research time I've had. Thanks for all the poo 💩

Happy to celebrate our last few years together at the MBA - to share an office with such an academic gem and a kind soul @laura_brans was a dream! Proud to see all your achievements thus far and I know there will be many more to come!!

Have you ever seen a #Coccolithophore outfit before? Designed by talented students at @artsuniplym, excited to deliver a costume with a significant educational message. See for yourself at @royalsociety's free #SummerScience Exhibition, we're here all week! #RoyalSocietyAtlantis

Anyone know what this is? Washed up on isle of wight beach. Felt biological and not man-made, and when not broken would be spherical. #ukbeach #MarineLife

Do grant proposal texts matter for funding decisions? A field experiment

Spoiler alert...NO!

First set of Marine Snow Catchers (MSC) deployed #DY180! Happy faces on the MSC team! @coddiepoc @biocarbon_nerc

We're so excited to have been awarded the Athena SWAN Silver Award today! A big step towards gender equality in higher education.

Many, many congrats to the tireless @crisbanksleite and Dr Josh Hodge and to everyone in the team who helped! Well done everyone 🙂
