PhD candidate Jose Valentí Muelas is presenting at #OSM26 🌊
His research focuses on polyester microfibres and how they move through estuarine environments.
🗓️ Feb 23 | 4–6pm
📍 Poster HC14B-0141 | Hall 4
Have a great presentation, Jose!
Join PhD Candidate in Oceanography Becca Beutel @bbeutel.bsky.social for her first research cruise on the La Perouse biochemical survey!
Spotting whales, dolphins, squid, pteropods... sounds like a pretty great first research cruise experience, even if we agree the night shift sounds a bit scary!
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
The discovery of the first major lithium-bearing pegmatite in B.C. — and the geochemistry behind it — could help make Canada more self-sufficient in #criticalminerals resources.

UBC mineralogist Dr. Catriona Breasley has made the first significant discovery of #lithium in B.C. "There could be much bigger deposits out there,” she says. “We just haven't found them yet." @eoas.ubc.ca
