🚨New paper out in @JAppliedEcology . We explore the technological solutions for #biodiversity monitoring appropriate for emerging biodiversity credit methodologies.

New @ENVISIONDTP #PhDposition based in Bangor with my former PhD co-supervisor Professor John Healy on "#Biodiversity for woodland resilience: the long-term functional #ecology of tree diversity". envision-dtp.org/2023/biodivers…

The final nail in the #PhD coffin.. Graduation!! 🥳👩‍🎓So nice to come back to graduate with @sos_bangor_uni and visit the people and places that helped develop me as a scientist. #Anglesey is a stunner and ill forever claim it as my home.

Excited for this to be finally out in the world! Thank you to everyone that helped make this possible. @RemoteReefs @anddavies @jamisongove @naj_graham . Have a read and let me know what you think..🧐 #seascape #bleaching #coral #reef #ecology

#ClimateChange #Trees #Birds #Christmas 714,286 trees are cut down for Christmas cards in the US, releasing 82,619 metric tons of CO2. 7 billion greeting cards are bought in the US every year. That's 140,000 tons of paper just to be trashed. We have to stop the madness.

Another brilliant @LecReefs Lab retreat. Getting to see old and new faces and being pushed mentally and physically to do things you don't normally do! Very grateful to be connected to such a lovely bunch!

Next up at #ICRS2022 from the @OxfordSeaEcoLab is @rosalie_wright_'s poster on establishing a #baseline for #coralreef communities prior to island #restoration

Thank you @RemoteReefs love this picture #DreamTeam can't wait to celebrate with the lab family and wider @sos_bangor_uni community ! 💙 couldn't have got through it without you all.

🌊Session 5🌊of the symposium this week will be all about the links between #PlasticPollution & #ClimateChange, from looking beyond #COP26, to the hidden costs of a plastic planet, to #ECOBOATS... Join us on 27 - 28 April to find out more - register now👇 bit.ly/3KeZJU1

@HeatherKoldewey @_niahjones @EstebanNicole @RemoteReefs @marineronan @hollystokes94 @_niahjones definitely comes to mind as would @YuengP

Can you help with ideas and contacts @_niahjones @EstebanNicole @RemoteReefs @marineronan @helen_ford @hollystokes94 ?

@RemoteReefs @TDJ_marine @anddavies @SJ_Pittman1 @sos_bangor_uni @BangorUni_PGR Well done @TDJ_marine 👏👏👏think we may need to raise a few more glasses again soon!

✅ France bans plastic packaging on fruit & vegetables to curb the growing plastic pollution crisis. 🛑Will the UK go further & faster in the face of the plastic pollution tsunami? @sascampaigns @friends_earth @aplastic_planet @plasticfreepz theguardian.com/world/2021/dec…

A huge thank you to all our partners, funders, pioneers and friends who joined us to celebrate #OneLess at @zsllondonzoo yesterday. Together we are changing the way Londoners drink water, from single-use plastic water bottles to refilling and reusing, for the sake of the ocean🌊

@JyodeeSP @Richardson_LE @marineronan @sos_bangor_uni @BangorUni @Bertarelli_fdn Congrats! 🥳👏👏👏

My first phd chapter published 🎉 We found benthic communities vary by atoll and depth on #remotereefs!#depthzonation #WomenInScience @Richardson_LE @marineronan @sos_bangor_uni @BangorUni @Bertarelli_fdn doi.org/10.1016/j.mare…

Great turnout today for #Bangor's #COP26 #ClimateStrike despite the weather! ☔ Proud of birthday girl @_niahjones for addressing everyone and explaining the links between #climatechange and #plastic (like in our paper.. tinyurl.com/39zf6ybe 😉)

Check out Gareth Williams @RemoteReefs and other reefy experts talking about coral reefs on @BBCRadio4 right now! @sos_bangor_uni @BangorUni

@StuieArtwork @MattMcGrathBBC @Imogennapper @BBCSounds Thanks for having me on!

Busy morning! For our welsh speakers you can listen to @_niahjones talking about our new paper today on @BBCSounds about how #marine #plasticpollution and #climatechange are linked! We also are featured in #bbcnews #Science and #environment section: bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…
