Finalist, Aspire Scholarship Eureka Prize for Excellence in Interdisciplinary Scientific Research
Unexplained genetic links between octopus populations brought together geneticists and geologists from the Octopus and Ice Sheet Team to better understand the stability of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. Novel use of octopus DNA pinpointed the collapse of the ice sheet 120,000 years ago, enabling improved global sea-level rise projections and planning to mitigate against climate change.
