Variation in Mangrove Geometric Traits Among Genera and Climate Zones - Estuaries and Coasts Coastal engineering models frequently represent vegetation as rigid cylinders to simulate the geometry of mangrove trees, including their roots, trunks, and canopies. However, mangrove geometry varies...

🌱New Paper Alert!🌊
We compiled a dataset of >17,000 published mangrove observations outlining their root, trunk and canopy geometries so they can be modelled more accurately, published in

🌊Happy belated World Wetlands Day! 🐊

It seems that tides are often perfect for fieldwork on weekends 😅 It was great to have the help of 6 other wetland warriors conducting fieldwork as part of a PhD project with Kayla Ostrow.

Artists bring magic of tropical mangroves to life for national exhibition Tropical mangroves shelter nurseries of creatures and protect coastlines during storms. A group of Darwin artists has recreated the ecosystem for a national science exhibition.

How cool is this mangrove art exhibit?

First Bluesky post 🙌🏼
Yeah the engineering girls! Had a blast setting up wave monitoring equipment in the mangroves this week for Kayla Ostow’s PhD work 🌊 My muscles sure are sore today!
