A marine ecology researcher diving off Albany has had the thrill of a lifetime after spotting a tiny fish so rare it has been officially recorded only once since its discovery in 1996.

Huge thanks to the amazing RV Solander Crew, Carlin Bowyer, our science crew and James Gilmour for letting me deploy too many instruments across the reef! :D
Building on my PhD work at Mermaid Reef, we show how internal bores propagate from the reef slope onto the shallows, delivering short-lived but significant cooling that is invisible to satellite SSTs but critical for reef thermal stress.
🪸🌊 I’m really happy to share our new paper in Limnology and Oceanography Letters: Thermal buffering by tidally generated internal bores on the shallows of a remote coral atoll - aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
We're advertising a PhD project to investigate the hydrodynamics of Aldabra Atoll @oxuniearthsci.bsky.social! We are looking for a student with strong quantitative skills and interest in ocean modelling. Competitive funding available through ILESLA. Please share with anybody who may be interested!
