New research has identified opportunities in 4 policy areas across marine conservation, coastal planning & environmental effects assessment, fisheries regulation, and Māori rights & interests, in order to manage the moana in a holistic & inclusive way 👇

Today, the International Day of Combating Sand and Dust Storms, the International Conference on Aeolian Research #ICARXI started with a trip to White Sands National Park. In addition to its amazing dunes, White Sands is a major North American dust source! Photo by @silentspring9
A fantastic three days exploring the wonders of biogeography/environmental management with amazing @GeographyOtago GEOG301 students! We got our hands dirty sampling vegetation on the braided rivers of South Canterbury. 🌱🌾 #FieldTripAdventures #EducationBeyondTheClassroom
A favourite part of the research process - scoping potential fieldsites for exciting new projects #saltmarsh #wetlands

Aotearoa New Zealand’s single manawa (mangrove) species is only found in the upper North Island. University of Waikato coastal marine Associate Professor Julia Mullarney is on a mission to show how amazing mangroves are, and why we should protect them.

Initial @niwa_nz field data from Omaha in Auckland shows the sand #CycloneGabrielle removed, and how important our barrier beaches are. Summer berm and aeolian ramp are gone, and steep cliff is carved into what was the foredune ridge. Exposed rootlets show at least 5m was removed

Due to the excellent R-Shiny skills of Alys Young, the data from our multi-criteria #livingshorelines suitability analysis for the state of Victoria, Australia can be visualised at: livingshorelines.shinyapps.i…
Thoroughly enjoyed writing this interdisciplinary paper with 5 incredible #WomeninSTEM - we combined SDMs with a multi-criteria analysis to identify opportunities for #livingshorelines - Alys Young @RKRunting @HeiniKujala @bethaniey15 @tkonlechner authors.elsevier.com/a/1gZQP…

Successful day - completed our UAV flights for our work on vegetation-small island biogeomorphic processes. Next task - ground truthing the results. #Maldives #photogrammetry #GeographyOtago
We made it to Fares-Maathodaa, Maldives. Here with Mike Hilton to look at small island vegetation and biogeomorphic processes...

Happy Penguin Appreciation Day!
🐧 The Little Penguin is the smallest of the world’s 18 penguin species, and the only penguin that breeds here in Australia. They’re found along Australia’s southern coastline and in New Zealand.

I'm not a fan of the term "sea level rise," which connotes oceans that get higher but still, perhaps, remain separated from dry land.
I think I'm going to start using the phrase "expanding oceans," or something like that, to clarify that the water's going to cover the coasts.

Sad to see reports of vehicle damage to nests. Sea level rise will cause big changes to shorebird nesting sites. Improved climate change resilience in the short term requires managing existing threats. stuff.co.nz/national/politic…
