We're very proud to announce that Dr Martino Malerba 🇺🇦 will compete in the prestigious Falling Walls Lab pitch competition on Monday 26th (2-4 pm AEST) & you're all invited! Martino is breaking the wall of hidden carbon emissions in agriculture. RSVP 👉 bit.ly/3Uw3wTo

Honoured and excited to be named Australian Institute of Policy & Science 2022 Victoria Young Tall Poppy for my research on #plastic pollution, #microplastic and #citizen science. Thank you Prof. Peter Macreadie at Blue Carbon Lab for the nomination and Deakin SEBE Deakin UniversityCIE Deakin Research & @Deakin for the support

Now up Dr Tanveer Adyel from the Blue Carbon Lab talking about his research conducted under his Alfred Deakin Institute fellowship. Just how bad is the micro plastic 🥤problem in mangroves 🏞️? *spoiler, pretty bad* #DeakinCIE22

Very excited and honored to receive "the 2022 Victorian Young Tall Poppy Scientist of the Year" last evening. Thanks Australian Institute of Policy & Science and jury board for considering my #plastic and #microplastics reserch Blue Carbon Lab for this prestigious award.

We need your help! Join us for two exciting #citizenscience days at Truganina Swamp (Altona, VIC). 🤩 On Tuesday 8th November, we will monitor the grassland for environmental weeds and survey the creek bank to estimate the plastic pollution.

On Sunday 13th November, we will focus on the degraded patch within the saltmarsh to understand the factors inhibiting its growth. We will collect sediments, elevation points & survey the saltmarsh cover. Please send an 📧 to [email protected] to register for the events

(1/2) Worldwide, #plasticpollution has negative consequences on #biodiversity. A new Frontiers - Environmental Science Research Topic synthesises knowledge on the sources & distributions of plastics and the implications of plastics in the environment, and discusses open science in plastic research.

(2/2) Our researchers, Mohammad Abu Noman (Abu Noman) and Dr Tanveer Adyel (Tanveer Adyel ) contributed to the research and to the editorial on this important topic, respectively. Access the Research Topic: bit.ly/3SRzhEr

PhD scholarship opportunity at Deakin's Blue Carbon Lab

Started the new year with a paper published in Journal of Hazardous Materials |Letters |Advances showing aging of biodegradable plastic may not be as fast as we imagine. authors.elsevier.com/c/1gM9O15DSlNu… Deakin SEBE Blue Carbon Lab #plasticpollution #plastisphere #biodegradable_plastics

Job opportunities at Blue Carbon Lab on wide range of environmental topics.

Excited to see our work on future of #ocean_plastics through the lens of collaborative frameworks is selected as #EditorsChoice. Excellent leadership by Dr Refilwe Precious Delphine Lobelle et al. UniSA Blue Carbon Lab Deakin Research ➡️shorturl.at/aptT3

Congratulations Pete and your team!

Absolutely delighted to share...I have received a #DECRA from Australian Research Council. My project will quantify the fate and consequences of #microplastics in Australia’s coastal wetlands. Thanks to Prof. Peter Macreadie & colleagues at Blue Carbon Lab for their great support.

Thanks Denise Mitrano for hosting me for a quick tour at ETH Zürich. We discussed potential collboration on #microplastics. Will be great to back in Zurich for a longer stay.

Sharing our new paper led by Chaoran Li published on Environmental Science & Technology Journals on biofilms' carbon source-sink transformation under wet-drought-rewetting cycles in aquatic system. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Excited to be the recipient of the Thomas Davies 2024 grant by Australian Academy of Science. This will allow me to extend my collaboration and examine #ecological_processes of coastal wetlands under #microplastics exposure. shorturl.at/BFKRU
