I think so! Sending greetings from your friends here in Punta Arenas readying to sail tomorrow! (We’ve got Lohan, Moore, Milne, Ussher, Baker, Boyd, Resing, Twining …. on board)

Prof Alessandro Tagliabue @altagliabue.bsky.social · 1d

Of course!

Prof Alessandro Tagliabue @altagliabue.bsky.social · 1d

Absolutely! We have the Hesperides and Sikuliaq alongside with us and I think the revelle is still offshore

Here we go for two months in the Southern Ocean!

Of course. Many thanks!

Prof Alessandro Tagliabue @altagliabue.bsky.social · 22d

Ok great. Be good to know as I often bring one of the kids with me but seems silly to charge them adult prices when they have FB+ child memberships! Thanks 💙

Prof Alessandro Tagliabue @altagliabue.bsky.social · 22d

That was a response to a DM sent to the Everton fan services Twitter account 🤷‍♂️

Prof Alessandro Tagliabue @altagliabue.bsky.social · 22d

Yes, would have understood that. But this seems a generic rule - ALL resale tickets are adult priced even if they are allocated to a child member

Prof Alessandro Tagliabue @altagliabue.bsky.social · 22d

Not sure. I just asked a generic question about whether I could call and get an adult priced resale ticket changed to a child when it was allocated to a FB+ child member. Turns out no was the answer. Seems a bit of an own goal …

Prof Alessandro Tagliabue @altagliabue.bsky.social · 22d

Sadly fan services deny this :

Message from efc fan services saying all resale tickets are adult priced

Prof Alessandro Tagliabue @altagliabue.bsky.social · 22d

Aha this is a life hack - brilliant. Too late for tonight but one for the future! Many thanks!

Prof Alessandro Tagliabue @altagliabue.bsky.social · 22d

Yes. I knew about it. But it seems silly when I’d take my daughter this evening - both of us as members - but we have to pay 2x adults!

Prof Alessandro Tagliabue @altagliabue.bsky.social · 22d

One weird thing is that you can only buy adult priced tickets on resale. Even if they get assigned to child members. That seems wrong.

Prof Alessandro Tagliabue @altagliabue.bsky.social · 24d

Onwards!

Baylor Fox-Kemper @baylorfk.bsky.social · 25d

Everyone always asked why I moved to landlocked Colorado to do oceanography. Because it was the world's largest concentration of climate scientists. Because of NCAR and NOAA.

In Boulder, fewer are alarmists; they are overwhelmingly problem solvers.

NCAR's science is patriotic. Vought is not.

If you’re interested in the productivity of the southern ocean using remote sensing, floats and models - both now and in the future then this is the paper for you! We’re gearing up for an associated field campaign in January!! 🌊

(a) Annual Southern Ocean NPP (Pg C) time series for six remote sensing algorithms: Eppley-VGPM, Behrenfeld-VGPM, Behrenfeld-CbPM, Westberry-CbPM, Lee-AbPM, and Silsbe-CAFE. (b) Long-term NPP trends (Gg C year−1) averaged across the Southern Ocean for the full time series (darker shade) and a jackknife resampling of the full time series (1998–2024) as a moving 20-year record with the mean trends ± the standard deviation reported (lighter shade).

Changing Ocean Biological Systems working group @scor-cobs.bsky.social · Dec 11

The COBS working group is offering an experimental design workshop before Ocean Sciences in Glasgow in Feb 2026! 🌊

Join us for a day of learning about designing and analysing multiple stressor experiments without getting multiply stressed out.

forms.office.com/Pages/Respon...

Date and time: 9:00–15:30, Sunday, February 8, 2026

Location: University of Glasgow, room details TBA

Title of the event: Designing multiple driver experiments

Conveners: Sinéad Collins, University of Edinburgh, Simin Gao, University of Edinburgh, Paul Renaud, Akvaplan-niva

Description: The MEDDLE resources were developed to help researchers design and carry out tractable and comparable multiple driver experiments. In this workshop, participants will learn how to use these resources to design multiple driver experiments. While the concepts and methods discussed can apply to many systems, examples used during the workshop will focus on manipulative experiments rather than observational data.

The workshop is geared mainly towards PhD students, postdocs, and ECRs new to multiple driver research, and focuses heavily on the rationale of different experimental designs, and analysis strategies for multiple driver experiments. A basic working knowledge of statistics is needed (regression analysis), and statistical analysis examples will use R. Participants should bring a laptop with R and R studio installed.

Topics include:
• Defining a research question
• Identifying relevant drivers
• Identifying biological traits and responses
• Experimental designs for multiple driver experiments
• Statistical analysis plans

Hosted by the SCOR project “Changing Ocean Biological Systems”, this free workshop will be led by Sinéad Collins, University of Edinburgh (UK), Simin Gao, University of Edinburgh (UK), Paul Renaud, Akvaplan-niva (Norway). Spaces are limited. If you would like to attend, contact Sinéad Collins (s.collins@ed.ac.uk) by January 15, 2026 to register your interest. Limited to 24 people, so please register early!

Please include a brief (<150 words) statement outlining (a) your experience carrying out Ocean acidification or multiple driver experiments (if any) and (b) how you plan to incorporate multiple driver experiments into your work
