July 2025: Kick-off of Salanieta Kitolelei’s postdoc in Bremen

July has been an important month for SOCPacific2R, marked by the start of Salanieta Kitolelei’s three-year postdoc at the Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT) in Bremen. Sala’s presence in Germany, before she dives into research on reef passages in Fiji, was the opportunity to organise the visit of Elodie and Auréa from Montpellier for an intense week of exchanges with the German crew on different aspects of the project, in particular on the preparation work for the summer school named TIDES – for “Training in InterDisciplinary and Ethnoecological Studies of reef passages” – which will take place at USP in Suva in September: more news on this soon!
