Had the best time with this great group of women in #STEM this week as part of the Greenland #UKRIArcticOffice #AI workshop! Happy #InternationalDayofWomenInScience !

A huge influx of people of the past few days so HELLO! I'm Emme, modeller of marine habitats, mother of BathyCam, and lover of all things benthic 🤎 Thinking about starting a body doubling video call writing group (NE 🇨🇦) in mid Feb - anyone up for it? 🐙 🦑 🧪

The evolution of BathyCam, my modular underwater camera system! V2 integrates a nav camera plus handheld controller allowing us to see the seabed in real time. In September we used BathyCam V2 to collect data across a soft coral garden in NL using a fishing vessel & crab hauler! #marineecology

The soft coral garden at Funk island Deep Marine refuge - these were the first videos we captured in June 2024, I've been back twice to map more and it's much bigger than we first estimated! #Newfoundland is beautiful both above and below the ocean 🌊
