We pride ourselves on forming deep connections, collaborating not just with one another, but with local industry, schools, and everyone who calls our island home.
Step into the diverse and dynamic worlds of our alumni through this visual journey across continents and disciplines. From Associate Professor Scott Ling diving into reef ecology and Inessa Corney identifying zooplankton aboard an Antarctic research vessel, to Thomas Forrest shaping the future of medicinal cannabis in New Zealand and Pete Mattila at work in the forge – this feature captures the spirit of innovation, exploration and creativity that defines our global alumni community.
Associate Professor Scott Ling (BScHons 2000, PhD 2009) surveying a remnant giant kelp forest at Sisters Bay, Southport. This forest collapsed in 2024 but is showing some signs of recovery. While there are a few juveniles present, there seem few adult kelp present to continually fuel the forest. With support from a Saving Native Species Priority Place grant, IMAS researchers are actively attempting to augment the forest by clearing competing seaweeds from around the juvenile kelp | Photo: Scott Ling
