This year in late July/early August, some of our lab members – Ken, Andrew, Alicia and Hannah – took a trip to Yokohama, Japan to attend the International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS). Here we share some of the highlights.

Some things I’ve learned in my first 12 months.
If you’re considering whether or not to apply for a PhD, you should think carefully about a few things. I recommend reading this article and this article (and simply googling or consulting academics and PhD students on “why you should or shouldn’t study a PhD”) before you make a decision to apply.
If, however, you have just accepted your offer for admission (congratulations!), I refer you to some hot tips. They are compiled from general advice I have received from post-docs, academics, second and third year PhDs as well as things I have learned myself as I have bobbed turbulently along my first year of candidature.
Despite (or perhaps because of?) growing up on a hobby farm, I’ve always been fascinated by marine ecosystems. This led me to study Marine Biology at the Uni of Adelaide from 2012. Realising the underrated power of remote sensing for monitoring broad scale marine processes in my third year, I joined the Spatial Sciences Group in 2015 to complete my Honours. After this, I was offered a short research contract looking at changes in coastal productivity in relation to Murray River flows. This experience convinced me to stay on with the SSG and study further. Seems like they can’t get rid of me?!
