The first Kasten core deployment has extracted a tube of mud from the #Antarctic seafloor. Once in the lab, the sampling begins for traces of ancient eDNA (@AusAntarctic) and porewater, and measuring for thermal conductivity. #DMV @IMASUTAS | @UTAS_ 📷: Katharina Hochmuth

🌊 "As an oceanographer, I’m excited about the prospect of getting ocean, ice and climate data from a region where few observations have been collected. The only way to get information like this is to be there." — Prof Nathan Bindoff, AAPP/@UTAS_ theguardian.com/commentisfre…

What's the best way to learn about sustainable fishing and marine science, no matter what's your background? By playing a card game! The Big Fish card game is just perfect for that. Based on science but also lots of fun. Get your copy on Kickstarter kickstarter.com/projects/big…
