The first chapter of my PhD is published! I used one of the largest datasets on seabirds at-sea to investigate spatial patterns of seabirds in the California Current and our west coast National Marine Sanctuaries. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Whether you're an avid aviary fan or a #birdwatching novice, @abbyhamblin of @sdut has a handy list for where to see sky-bound San Diego locals, featuring guidance from Scripps Oceanography PhD candidate and seabird expert @Marinamorphosis! 🐦 sandiegouniontribune.com/best-birding-l…

The rapid population collapse of the Antarctic fur seal - a key marine predator in the northern Antarctic Peninsula - endangers genetic diversity and resilience to climate change, suggests a study published in @FrontMarineSci. Read the research article ⬇

“That level of synchronicity was surprising,” said Hinke. “Animals dive and forage in groups—that’s not new—but we haven’t been able to look at it underwater before..." Read more about the team’s study and findings: go.usa.gov/xMJDR #marinebiology #penguins #antartica

Hinke’s goal was to study how #penguins interact with their prey while they’re on the hunt. Their findings - among the first to document synchronous diving and foraging in penguins - revealed just how coordinated the penguins were in their movements... go.usa.gov/xMJDR

Dr. Jefferson Hinke, head of #seabird studies at NOAA Fisheries’ #Antarctic Ecosystem Research Division, and his research team attached small, lightweight video cameras and depth recorders to observe chinstrap #penguins underwater... go.usa.gov/xMJDR

WE HAVE BIG NEWS and it’s little…#LittleBluePenguins, that is! The Beyster Family Little Blue Penguins habitat is #waddling to you in Summer 2022! #BirchAquarium #LittleBluePenguin #BirchBluePenguins #LittleBlues #penguin #penguins #penguinsrule #penguinlove

Penguins are common in zoos and aquariums, but only a handful of @zoos_aquariums have Little Blue Penguins—the world’s smallest species of penguin. 🐧 Today, @Birch_Aquarium announced the addition of the Beyster Family Little Blue Penguins habitat, which will open in summer 2022!

Applications are now open! Share with all the undergrads you know! This program was a life-changer for me! 🌊

@LuisHuckstadt @NSF @NERCscience @uncwtiftlab @DanielPCosta2 @PeterTFretwell So awesome!! Congrats!! 🎉

@angie_zorka Congrats Angie! I'm so excited for you!

I am honored and excited to have been awarded the #NSF Office of Polar Programs #postdoc Research Fellowship. I'll be heading to @OregonState's Marine Mammal Institute to work with the fabulous Dr. Kate Stafford on #BowheadWhales in the #Arctic! ❄️🐋🎶

As communities across the world prepare for the impacts of sea level rise, a new visualization tool provided by @NASAClimate & @IPCC_CH gives users the ability to see what sea levels will look like anywhere for decades to come. Discover more: go.nasa.gov/2VJ8ZfP

@LuisHuckstadt The cutest pinniped for sure!

Check out the Scripps Student Spotlight interview with our labs undergraduate researcher, Karina! It's been an amazing experience & complete honor to mentor her over the past year! 🐧🌊🐋

Our new paper! We disentangled drivers of close encounters between #albatross & fishing vessels🌊🦆⛴️. This analysis offers an albatross perspective on bird-vessel interactions to inform #seabird bycatch management -across national borders & the high seas. ow.ly/CohM50E82sI

Shake your tail feathers: We have a new Osprey Cam housed on Scripps Pier! Get an up-close view of our resident #ospreys and their current nesting activities here: scripps.ucsd.edu/piercam
