Nice underwater footage of #kelp and the #GSR. winding down here โฆ but continuing at @twernberg.bsky.social. @UWAresearch @uwaoceans @GSR_Australia.
Watch: Fieldwork on the Frontlines. Join Professor @twernberg in Jurien Bay, WA. Learn why fieldwork and long-term monitoring programs are crucial for understanding the changes happening across the Great Southern Reef.

Turns out #kelp forests of the #GreatSouthernReef top the list globally - thatโs the short version ๐ ๐ฑ โบ๏ธ Read the linked article and our recent @NatureGeosci led by @Filbeek ๐ @UWAresearch.
GSR Science Committee Member @twernberg unpacks how kelp contributes to carbon sequestration "The majority of the biomass that's exported are fragments of various sizes, and that enters the marine environment and gets broken down even further". Learn more

Major negative effects of #marineheatwaves on #foundation species such as #kelp, #coral, #seagrass and #mhw metrics matter: our new study in @NatureComms @UWAresearch @uwaoceans @BiolSci_UWA @NBFNetwork @Havforskningen.
Our new study published today in @NatureComms examined links between marine heatwaves (MHWs) and the health of foundation species (corals, kelps, seagrass) across the global coastal ocean. (1/n)
