Here we examine climatic-zone differences in mangrove structural traits, density and morphology influence sediment accretion potential. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0043135426006810?via%3Dihub https://doi.org/10.1016/j.watres.2026.12600018 May 2026 16:00 +0000at://did:plc:la6j5yzzi3prb6i2v2z7vfuh/app.bsky.feed.post/3mm5apdghms2whttps://bsky.app/profile/alicetwomey.bsky.social/post/3mckqlyf27q2sI was recently interviewed by Hannah Hatcher to discuss my success applying for an Australian Research Council Early Career Industry Fellowship for my project, Elevating mangrove recovery: the role of accretion under sea level rise. I share my insights to help ECRs apply for similar schemes.
