The spiny lobster trial system is now up and running! Time to get to the science! Prey type effect on larval development 💪💪🦞🦞 #projectLOBEX @RyanInstitute @uniofgalway @STEM_Galway @CiimarUp

‼️ Campus Closure ‼️ In light of the Status Red Wind Warning and the resulting damage from #StormEowyn our campus will remain closed today and will re-open tomorrow in line with normal schedules. Stay safe everybody! 🙏

It's amazing to see carbon footprints on menus now! We should empower consumers to consciously choose foods and associate their environmental impact! Next- Lifecycle impact indicators. Well done @StenaLineUKIE #ClimateAction Although I will pay my penance for the cheeky fry up

Dive into the depths of discovery! 🌊 Explore marine life, environments, and how they’re shaped by nature and humans in our unique Marine Science course. 🌍🐠 Watch Prof. Mark Johnson share more insights at University of Galway! #MarineScience #UniversityOfGalway #STEM

Met Éireann has issued Status Red wind warnings in response to #StormEowyn 🌬️  All our campus locations will be closed during those warnings. Here’s what you need to know: 🛑 During a Status Red weather warning, all campuses in affected areas will be closed and classes will be cancelled.

Carna Research Station has batten down its hatches🚨🚨A red warning tonight! Floods, high gust, danger to life. Invoking Teresa Mannion, don't take risks!! Stay safe, everyone🙏🙏

We are now on the precipice of human-induced climate change, and we are causing irreparable damage to the biological, chemical, and physical elements of our precious ecosystems. An example of this is Iceland's dwindling glaciers - solheimajokull glacier. A sobering reality...
