The official graduation photo. Thank you @SCU_Australia and Sandra McPhee AM for this unforgettable experience. Huge thanks to all my supervisors, my family and friends, those present in person, others overseas, and the few watching from above. And thanks to my beloved Frankie ❤️

Just keeping a good momentum, new research accepted by @EGU_BioGeo, investigating Mg(OH)2 dissolution and CaCO3 precipitation kinetics at different salinities and grain size, and a look at Mg and DOC inhibition of CaCO3 prec... @tcyronak @bach_lennart egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/2024…

And after a lovely ceremony, I received my diploma and can wrap up my PhD experience! @SCU_Australia @PalaeoGARG @bach_lennart @tcyronak @biogeochemSCU @SCGeoscience



So happy to see my full PhD thesis published! doi.org/10.25918/thesi…… @SCU_Australia @biogeochemSCU
Probably the most interesting OAE talk I have witnessed so far @_david_ho_ #NegativeCO2emissions
I talked about the challenge of monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) for marine CO₂ removal (mCDR) to this crowd. Most people stayed awake. #NegativeCO2emissions
New paper by our PhD student @marin_samper! Kudos Laura! 📄🥂 "Assessing the impact of CO2-equilibrated ocean alkalinity enhancement on microbial metabolic rates in an oligotrophic system" bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/28…
/!\ New research out (full text soon), where we looked at the suitability of iron and steel slag for #OAE. Surprisingly, steel slag had an unexpected high cumulative CO2 capture potential of 10-22 Gigatonnes by 2100! @FrontiersIn @bach_lennart @tcyronak frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
New #oae research out with the help of Kai Schulz, @tcyronak, @bach_lennart and Renaud Joannes-Boyau. Investigating grain size and seawater salinity effect for OAE! #OceanAlkAlign
Discussion open for comments on @EgUsphere: Effects of grain size and seawater salinity on magnesium hydroxide dissolution and secondary calcium carbonate precipitation kinetics: implications for ocean alkalinity enhancement doi.org/10.5194/egusph…
Excited to be part of this project which builds on the methods of my first PhD chapter Get in contact if you're interested in conducting your own OAEPIIP experiment!

9/9) Massive thanks to all involved whilst also navigating the challenging COVID lockdowns, major floods & travel restrictions of 2021. The research was made possible by @arc_gov_au @SCUonline @ResearchSCU & co-authors @Dr_Damo77 @ScottJoh_dirtDr @C_Moras12 @JamesSippo et al.👏👏

After a little bit more than 3 years, I finally submitted it. It was a bumpy ride but I had a blast, thanks to my supervisors 💪

An early Christmas present that makes me quite proud and happy. So happy to see my work finally pays off. Higher degree research student of the year 2022 @SCUonline @biogeochemSCU @PalaeoGARG

Congratulations @C_Moras12 for winning HDR student of the year!! No surprise there 😁 @PalaeoGARG
