Had some time free prior to the Australian Marine Science Association conference, so wandered by an Antarctic exhibition at the National Museum of Australia.

American Meteorological Society State of the Climate Report 2025. I'm a co-author on the ocean oxygen change section. ametsoc.net/sotc2025/03G...

Well, teaching at the Ocean University of China done (well, the in person part got some more online lectures and a lotta marking left...). At the airport flying back to Aus in an hour.

Huayan Buddhist temple near Qingdao... Beware of tentacles? (Actually beware of rock falls...)

Usually been at OUC to teach in mid to late April. This year here in March. Air pollution seems worse...

First a "achievement" of the year... Sat on a bloody jack jumper ant nest... 🤥

Sloe gin, cheese and cherries after a swim. Good way to spend NYE.

In Beijing for the CLIVAR meeting on detecting ocean oxygen changes in a warming climate. Delivered my talk this morning (do shifts in spatial sampling influence the trend in oxygen decline?). Went well.

Well, RF "Wormbrain" K Jr is pressing for measles burial grounds...

Bruny Island evenings

Just seen somebody suggest there's no guidebook available that will describe what to expect on various cruise liners. I beg to differ...
