Some great work by @ChandlerJosie and team. 4k video workflows to image 40+ conlonies per dive and predict 3D surface area from rapid 1D field measures for a wide range of corals! @CoralReefEcoLab @burn_deborah @PeterCDoll Agus Piccaluga Abby Johnades. https://t.co/2UwercGSGv

Our little slice of heaven on the Southern GBR has been hit hard this year (bleaching like much of the reef) by elevated ocean temperatures. Be back in 2 weeks...hoping to see some recovery. 🤞@OneTreeIslandRS @Sydney_Uni @Sydney_Science @USydMSI https://t.co/sgdJl5WMYl

HUGE effort from @katie_erick to inform us on how to most efficiently get fish assemblage data out of our unbaited oyster reef videos. A lot of advantages to using MeanCount in these situations! https://t.co/KPBhTBp1Y3 @DrABugnot @USydMSI @Sydney_Science @SydneySOLES

Background Assessing fish assemblages in subtidal and intertidal habitats is challenging due to the structural complexity of many of these systems. Trapping and collecting are regarded as optimal...

Beautiful day at Coral Gardens off Manly…but we weren’t alone. A “smack” of moon jellies joined in the fun. Appropriate term as that’s also the noise they make when the swell pushes them against your wetsuit. ⁦@USydMSI⁩ ⁦@Sydney_Science⁩ ⁦@SydneyMarine

Here's a fun lockdown project. Needed to know the volume of my pool to size a new pump appropriately...so I 3D-modelled it! #lockdownscience. And yes its quite dirty...did that on purpose to help with model alignment! 😀
