"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.

[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.

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 https://www.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).


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

Excited to share our new paper - Evaluation of DNA metabarcoding for identifying #fish eggs: a case study on the West #Florida Shelf - published today in PeerJ

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

Here goes nothing - let's see if this old dog can learn new tricks! I'm Mya, a professor at the University of South Florida. Here's my happy lab enjoying the Florida sunshine - we love #marine #science , #virology, #genomics, #oceanography #phage #seagrass #fish
