I presented my Poster on the extreme 2024/2025 MHW off the coast of Western Australia with the title "Oceanic Preconditioning and Wind-Driven Amplification of the 2024/2025 Marine Heatwave off Western Australia"
I presented part of my PhD research on using short-term time series to detect marine heatwaves in a probabilistic framework, rather than a binary classification approach. The presentation was titled “Make the most of little time: a probabilistic approach to marine heatwave detection.”
After the extreme marine heatwave during the austral summer of 2024–2025, multiple research groups came together to share fieldwork, data, and preliminary findings from the event. I presented my own preliminary results on the potential drivers of the heatwave.
During the John Glover Symposium in October 2024 in Perth, I presented my research on “Marine Heatwaves off the Coast of Western Australia.” My poster was awarded Best Poster, recognising the quality and impact of the work presented.
At the AMSA conference in September 2024 in Hobart, I presented my first PhD research on the characteristics of marine heatwaves off the coast of Western Australia, with a particular focus on subsurface marine heatwaves.
I also won the conference lottery and received an RBR stand-up paddleboard.
In 2024, I participated in the 3MT (Three Minute Thesis) and VYT (Visualise Your Thesis) competitions at UWA, where I presented my PhD research in highly condensed formats of three minutes of free speaking for 3MT and a one-minute visual video for VYT. I was awarded a finalist position in both competitions. It was a challenging but enjoyable experience that pushed me to communicate complex science in clear and engaging ways.
