🌊 Boosting iron supply in the anaemic Southern Ocean enhances phytoplankton blooms and the ocean’s uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide. 🧊 'News & Views' @natgeosci.nature.com by Dr Marion Fourquez @utas.edu.au examines a new perspective on where the iron came from in the past. ▶️ rdcu.be/e2bJy

🤝 The COOKIES voyage is led by @imas-utas.bsky.social at @utas.edu.au The research is supported by a grant of sea time on RV Investigator from the CSIRO Marine National Facility.

The results also have implications for proposed ocean‑based carbon dioxide removal strategies, such as iron fertilisation. The research team includes Annika Oetjens, Prof Zanna Chase, Prof Peter Strutton and Dr Tyler Rohr. @imas-utas.bsky.social | @utas.edu.au | @antarctic.bsky.social

🌊 An important new study led by ACEAS PhD researcher Annika Oetjens from @imas-utas.bsky.social at @utas.edu.au shows the Southern Ocean may be storing 40 to 60 per cent less carbon at certain depths than many climate models assume. Learn more ▶️ antarctic.org.au/southern-oce...

🌊 Ocean fronts are boundaries where different water masses collide. They cover about 1/3 of the global ocean but account for nearly 3/4 of total ocean CO2 uptake, absorbing about 1.8 billion tonnes of carbon each year.

TIA entomologist, Dr Justin Cappadonna, has deployed codling moth sensors in Tasmania that are providing real-time codling moth monitoring for sustainable apple production. The project is testing the application of automated sensor technology to detect codling moths in Tasmanian apple orchards. 🍎

Insects play a crucial role in Tasmanian agriculture - supporting crop production, soil health and natural pest control. However, climate change has the potential to significantly disrupt these systems, increasing the risk of pest outbreaks and crop damage. Read more 👉 bit.ly/4bHBorh
