Recently, I was invited by the @solwayfp.bsky.social to write an article for their Tidelines Magazine. This was an honour and my first time in print, huge thanks to Clair and the team for this opportunity. If you are interested in learning more about my PhD, please read below! 🌊

Busy month of fieldwork so far investigating the resilience of intertidal forests 🌊☀️ Working with some incredible teams in Orkney, Portugal, and now Galicia 🌱 @jngriffy.bsky.social @mdolbeth.bsky.social @falaropo.bsky.social @heriotwattuni.bsky.social

Looking forward to our @ciimar.bsky.social seminar next week. @rubygeorge.bsky.social and I will be flying the flag for rocky shores as a valuable model system.

Re-upping this PhD opportunity in marine ecology, applying a trait-based approach to seaweed carbon dynamics. Includes exciting opportunities for international fieldwork and open to applicants worldwide tinyurl.com/bdhs3aac

New pre-print on heterogeneity- stability relationship led by @jsola.bsky.social: Using a long-term #RockyShore experiment we show substrate heterogeneity promotes stability via biodiversity and asynchrony, but simultaneously inhibits stabilising dominants. www.authorea.com/users/795647...

*PhD opportunity*: I’ll shortly be advertising a project linking seaweed traits to blue carbon in the context of climate change. Please contact me via email (j.n.griffin at swansea. ac. uk) if potentially interested. More details to follow.
