🐧‘To make the #WeddellSea a protected marine area, we need to demonstrate that what the area has to offer is of great value to humans.’

On 15 December, Oceanographer Jacqueline Stefels and marine biologist Maria van Leeuwe (UG) boarded the icebreaker #Polarstern of

"Maps are to geography what notation is to music."

British writer, geographer, historian, journalist, cartographer, and inventor John Francon Williams died #OTD in 1911.

In 1881, Williams's seminal book The Geography of the Oceans was published. This book focuses on topics such as: General Geography of the Oceans, Physical Geography of the Oceans, the Geography of Particular Oceans. It was the first book to cover with such intensity the geography of the oceans.

Planktonic microbial signatures of sinking particle export in the open ocean’s interior - Nature Communications

Sinking of organic particles to the deep seafloor is fundamental to ocean carbon cycling. Here, the authors investigate prokaryotic communities in sinking and suspended particles, identifying depth-specific signatures of particle export and carbon cy…

[EDIT] FLIP is saved!

Well it had to happen eventually. #Scripps is retiring FLIP (FLoating Instrument Platform). This is an amazing piece of engineering (and soooo weird on the inside - everything pivots, so walls become floors). The #ship to be towed out to a location, and it would literally flip, sinking most of the ship directly down to give a *very stable platform for #oceanography research. Launched in 1962.

Flipping FLIP ship saved from scrapyard at last minute

The US Navy and Scripps Institution of Oceanography's unique FLoating Instrument Platform (FLIP) has been saved at the last minute from the breaker's yard. Scheduled to be scrapped in Mexico, it was purchased by undersea design company DEEP.

New job, new #introduction post!

I work at Heriot-Watt's #Orkney campus in the far north of #Scotland. Programme lead for MSc in #Renewable and Sustainable #Energy Transition. Research at the intersection of #renewable #energy & physical #oceanography. Member of icnz.org/

Not my first career.

I care about the #reproducibility of computational science. I'm a fellow of the Software Sustainability Inst (software.ac.uk) and instructor for Software Carpentry (thecarpentries.org).

Decarbonising Scotland’s islands

The Islands Centre for Net Zero will address the need for fundamental change in how we approach the energy transition across Orkney, Shetland and the Outer Hebrides.

Hoping to see some new #science folks exploring Mastodon so figured it’s time for another #introduction - I’m Mya, a professor at the University of South Florida College of Marine Science. Our lab studies #microbes (bacteria, viruses, protists) in the oceans and other environments and also works on #fish egg identification. I also post about my cute dog and cat a lot! #USFCMS #ocean #marine #oceanography #microbiology #virology #research #seagrass #urchin #academia

Given all the discussion (and dismay) about the newly released #IPCC report, this article on the importance of #turbulence and internal waves for the transport of heat and carbon in the world's oceans. Mentions of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and size of internal waves (yes they can 500m tall) but most importantly about small-scale turbulent mixing (which is poorly documented) having a large-scale effect on climate. #ClimateChange #Oceanography

Underwater turbulence revealed as a key factor in climate change

Much of the heat and carbon produced by humans is absorbed by the ocean. New research has shed light on the role that underwater waves play in moving that heat and carbon around our oceans, an important factor in predicting climate change.

This is interesting and might be relevant for bloom-ending processes in #phytoplankton. Roseobacter can coexist with Emiliania huxleyi (and important bloom forming coccolithophore important to carbon cycling), providing vitamins for ready supplies of sugar and amino acids. However when an algal cell is dying they bacteria can collect additional compounds and leave in search other other hosts. #algae #oceanography

'Friend or foe' bacteria kill their algal hosts when coexisting is no longer beneficial

Scientists have detailed a lifestyle switch that occurs in marine bacteria, in which they change from coexisting with algae hosts in a mutually beneficial interaction to suddenly killing them. The results are published today in eLife.
