❄️🌊 The third paper from my PhD is out! doi.org/10.1029/2026... Here, we describe how trace metals are added and removed from waters with transit through Nares Strait, Parry Channel, Jones Sound, and Davis Strait.

The second paper from my PhD is out! Here we looked at trace metal fluxes across the gateways of Baffin Bay, and discussed potential changes to these source waters feeding into the North Atlantic.

🌊 New paper: @tiaanderlini.bsky.social @seos-uvic.bsky.social @jgroceans.bsky.social 4 years of sampling the gateways of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago shows Arctic waters are a significant source of trace metals to the North Atlantic doi.org/10.1029/2026...

🌊 New paper from @tiaanderlini.bsky.social @seos-uvic.bsky.social: we traced how trace metals change as Arctic waters flow over the Mackenzie shelf and through the Northwest Passage toward the Atlantic. doi.org/10.1029/2026...

The Transformation of Trace Metal Distributions Across the Mackenzie Shelf and Through the Northwest Passage

Trace metal distributions are modified by river runoff and sea ice melt with water transit via the Mackenzie shelf and Northwest Passage Elevated trace metal concentrations in shelf waters influe...

Slowly trying to reintegrate into the real world after 2 months at sea! This year's trace metal sampling campaign aboard the CCGS Amundsen contributed to the CASCADES and QEI/MAZE projects. @seos-uvic.bsky.social @dalhousie.bsky.social

🌊 Lab members Dr. Tia Anderlini and Sofie Ohrling made a visit to the community of Grise Fjord today to talk about their work on trace metals. Our clean lab fit was very popular with the youngsters 😎. Thanks to Amundsen Science and the CCGS Amundsen for support

My paper with Susan Allen, @jilian0717.bsky.social, @jaytcullen.bsky.social, & @tiaanderlini.bsky.social is out! We show how Pacific source waters shape property flux into the Salish Sea, and separate dynamical vs property-driven change—useful for understanding coastal conditions in a changing ocean

Water property variability into a semi-enclosed sea dominated by dynamics, modulated by properties

Abstract. The biogeochemistry of the Salish Sea is strongly connected to its Pacific Ocean inflow through Juan de Fuca Strait (JdF), which varies seasonally and interannually in both volume and proper...

1/🧊 ONC is partnering to support the global delivery of research data from the first all-Canadian led scientific expedition to the Southern Ocean. The data will soon be available on ONC’s data portal, Oceans 3.0 and partners’ platforms. Full story 🔗 bit.ly/4n7CvmA 🧪 🌊#KnowTheOcean #CDNsci

Some of the greatest hits from Leg 4 of the 2025 CCGS Amundsen research trip so far. We are sampling for trace elements in the Tuvaijuittuq Marine Protected Area of the Queen Elizabeth Islands 🇨🇦

Intense FOMO but very happy to see @tiaanderlini.bsky.social and Sofie Ohrling of @seos-uvic.bsky.social @uvicscience.bsky.social off to a great start on CCGS Amundsen in the Canadian 🇨🇦 Arctic Archipelago. First trace element samples collected for 2025 for us in the North

🌊🧪 Great write up of our involvement in the recent Canadian 🇨🇦 expedition to #Antarctica 🇦🇶 featuring newly graduated @tiaanderlini.bsky.social @seos-uvic.bsky.social @uvicscience.bsky.social . www.linkedin.com/pulse/dr-tia...

One more glamour shot of Admiralty Bay (South Shetland Islands) for a belated #worlddayforglaciers

I was travelling during the first #worlddayforglaciers but here is a lil selection of my favourites from the past month in the Antarctic:

Welcome to Antarctica! PhD student Tia Anderlini (@tiaanderlini.bsky.social) is currently in Antarctica as a research scientist on board the HMCS Margaret Brooke. This trip marks the first circumnavigation of South America and visit to Antarctica by a Royal Canadian Navy vessel. #WorldWaterDay

This #WorldWaterDay, the United Nations is focused on glacier preservation. UVic professor Jay Cullen (@jaytcullen.bsky.social) is focused on glaciers (and sea-ice, and permafrost) every day. Learn more about Dr. Cullen's research analyzing trace elements in the Arctic. www.uvic.ca/science/home...

Sampling from small boats is hard work, but worth it for the view 😍 (and the science). Here we are heading out in Admiralty Bay in the South Shetland Islands to collect water samples from glacier fronts. 🇨🇦🇦🇶

Spending International Women's Day with these adventurous gals aboard HMCS Margaret Brooke! This is the first all-Canadian Antarctic expedition. We are currently wrapping up some scientific sampling in Port Foster, Deception Island. 🇨🇦🇦🇶 Photo credit: Cpl Connor Bennett, Canadian Armed Forces
