This was an AWESOME fun project, where we made ocean drifters (GPS surface trackers) out of COCONUTS! Avoiding the use of plastic for buoyancy. We deployed 5 on the Great Barrier Reef during coral spawning and their varied trajectories were , well, NUTS! #Oceanography 🌊 publuu.com/flip-book/11...

USA VS AUS. both teams scored one goal each . It's just that Australia's goal was for the USA team . Is this AUKUS in action?

Qf27's flight path from Syd to Santiago takes it far south into antarctic skys. Last night an Aurora was visible from the starboard side with the wing illuminated red from the strobe on top of the aircraft. #qantas #auroraaustralis

This single shipload of electric vehicles from BYD will cut Australia's annual fuel demand by at least 6 million litres This is what genuine fuel security looks like - not tanks of diesel and rushed trade deals, but cutting our exposure permanently to overseas fossil fuel supply.

Spotted this amazing stonefish whilst snorkelling at Fitzroy island (Queensland) They are ambush predators & can inflict a very painful (potentially deadly) sting from venomous spines if trodden on This one was in a very prominent location by the jetty preying on bait-fish sheltering there i guess

We are hosting IUGC2026 International Underwater Glider Conference at the Indian Ocean Marine Research center, UWA, Perth Western Australia 16-20 November. Looking Forward to seeing everyone showing off beautiful Perth & Our Glider Lab (>400 missions & going strong) abstracts close 26th June 🌊

Oh it's #CTD_AppreciationDay AGAIN! My goto CTD for casual casts is the CastAway here we are, returning from a glider deployment, training indigenous rangers to do CTD casts So their routine water quality monitoring work can include profiles of temperature & Salinity on the Great Barrier Reef 🌊

please please can we get the Swift and Shift guys out of retirement to do a pacific edition #ABC #SBS www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Doug Webb, an oceanographer and innovator at WHOI, revolutionized how we explore the ocean. Webb is best known as the inventor of the underwater glider, an autonomous vehicle that navigates the ocean by adjusting its internal buoyancy. Learn more about this ocean pioneer: go.whoi.edu/webb

Model aircraft components have revolutionized access to technically capabilities that were once the realm of giant industrialized militaries. This operation used; model aircraft tech, fox cunning, ingenuity, impeccable planning & astonishing bravery 1/3 of Russian strategic bomber capability!!

THANKYOU @thejuicemedia.bsky.social i hope the second part of your prediction goes beyond getting the dick out of dickson & finishes off the shit party for good youtu.be/euE8eZTyQQg?...

Want to know about the water conditions in the #GBR right now ? IMOS Ocean gliders Have launched an ocean glider mission in the waters of Mission Beach in Far North Queensland and YOU can follow it live at anfog.ecm.uwa.edu.au coral reefs

If only there was a way to cool the upper ocean by reintroducing mixing processes, deficient during coral bleaching events on the GBR? Hint there is and we have demonstrated that the cool water is there and we can bring it to the surface www.rrrc.org.au/reef-havens/ 🪸 coral reef #coralbleaching

Enough sun falls on the roof of the average suburban house in Australia to supply a surplus to their daily electricity needs enough surplus to power their daily drive as well

That's a Wrap IUGC2024. Using Ocean Gliders's engineering flight data to visualise ocean mixing processes. The random water flow of ocean mixing processes causes differential flow over each wing that shows up in the rolling motion of the glider

Some cautiously optimistic news from the #GBR. These ocean profiles from yesterday & 6wk ago show recent high winds have mixed the water column to<29c bringing relief to stressed & bleaching corals like 2020&22 when the early arrival of SE winds allowed corals to make an almost 100% recovery

It's not looking good for corals on the #GBR folks. The next 4-5 days are going to be very stressful corals; elevated temperature, low winds and low tidal movement (2nd - 4th feb) These look distressingly similar to conditions during the 2016 bleaching event reefhavens.pythonanywhere.com
