The annual Reef Conservation UK conference was hosted by the School of Ocean Sciences @bangoruniversity.bsky.social over the past weekend (1/n)

I really enjoyed speaking at the @nature.com & @commonseas.bsky.social roundtable ' #Microplastics, a threat to human & planetary health' Fantastic discussions with fellow panelists and audience Talks will be shared: natureconferences.streamgo.live/microplastic...

Professor Yueng Djern-Lenn fro @bangoruniversity.bsky.social and fellow of the Learned Society of Wales, recently took part in the Society’s anniversary celebrations in Cardiff, presenting alongside former First Minister Mark Drakeford.

SOS Alumn @hannahbyrne.bsky.social presenting her work on how cartilage evolved in sharks at the @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social meeting in Birmingham. Our students end up on a range of career paths, and we cannot wait to hear what Hannah comes up wiht next.

School of Ocean Sciences @bangoruniversity.bsky.social was very well represented at the UK seagrass symposium this year! These wonderful people have done - and are doing - everything from internships to PhDs and everything in between on these crucial habitats. Keep up the good work, everyone!

On October 22nd, Prof. Katrien Van Landeghem @kjjvanlandeghem.bsky.social represented Bangor University’s School of Ocean Sciences (SOS) at the Wind Energy Expo in Dublin! #MarineEnvironment #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #CareerSuccess #SOS #BangorUniversity

Heading out this morning on the Prince Madog with @sosbangor.bsky.social physical oceanography Masters students. On the hunt for SIPS in Conwy Bay!

Experiment complete, or so the @sosbangor.bsky.social students have declared! We are heading back into Menai Bridge on this glorious day

First year students from @bangoruniversity.bsky.social School of Ocean Sciences were gaining practical field work skills (and how to keep dry) at Aberffraw beach today.

As Welcome Week, in great weather (the sun always shines in north Wales!), is drawing to a close we thank the SOS peer guides for their efforts. They are the friendly faces behind Welcome Week and put a lot of work in to make the freshers (aka The Peerlings) feel at home.

A great day for the annual SOS beach trip with the new undergraduate students @bangoruniversity.bsky.social. Sandcastles were built, beach pictionary played, and much fun had by students new and old, and staff.

Chloe Macleavy and Jasmine Scott-Dickins are both studying Marine Biology at SOS and are currently doing their placement year as research officers with Trashfree Trails (TFT). At the moment they are planning a litter research fieldwork day which will take place in Newborough Nature reserve.

SOS 3rd year marine biology students enjoyed their fieldwork at the Virginia Institute for Marine Science earlier this month. The weather was almost as good as in North Wales at the time...

Ruth Clarke, a third year Marine Biology and Oceanography student at SOS, is currently doing a placement year with @seatrustwales.bsky.social in Pembrokeshire to gain wider skills in conservation related topics.

Great talk on using historical sources to map herring spawning grounds by @georginahunt.bsky.social for @projectfishistory.bsky.social.

And she was shorted-listed for the best presentation award! @sosbangor.bsky.social

At the end of @tidalites.bsky.social 2025 in Liverpool, a group of attendees went on a road trip to Pembrokeshire to visit the tidalite at Wiseman's Bridge. Much fun, lots of discussions, and several project ideas came out of the trip. See you all in Korea in 4 year's time :)

Students from @bangoruniversity.bsky.social School of Ocean Sciences using geophysical techniques to trace out fresh groundwater flow on Ro Mawr beach near Llanddwyn during their third year Coastal sediment field study.

Staff and students from School of Ocean Sciences @bangoruniversity.bsky.social have steamed through the Irish Sea and the Caledonian Canal. After sampling in Loch Ness they move to the North Sea to measure the impact of tidal wakes behind floating wind turbines in projects funded by [email protected].

About 18 to 14 million years ago, global temperatures spiked in an event called the Miocene Climatic Optimum. Despite these conditions, we still had coral reefs. But those corals were pushed to their very limit to survive, at a physiological cost. 🧪🌊 Link: www.nature.com/articles/s43...
