Not 1 but 2 evening #sciart events (w drinks) during #OSM26 in #Glasgow!

* zine-making in the pub, Mon 23 Feb (link below)

* opening for Constraint Made Visible (Transmission Gallery, 24 Feb)—collabs among local mathematicians, artists, crafters, and ocean modellers

Pls help spread the word!

Applications are now open for participation in the 7th workshop on Trait-Based Approaches to Ocean Life in Asilomar, California: carnegiescience.edu/seventh-trai...

We usually think of photosynthetic bacteria as the main N2 fixers in the world's oceans . Using a mechanistic model we estimate that heterotrophic bacteria are responsible for 10% of the global N2 fixation. And it also occurs temperate waters. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Squid die when they reproduce. We estimate that sinking squid carcasses locks away 11-12 Mt carbon/year in the deep oceans. Increasing squid fisheries interrupts this sequestration and sends it to our dinner plates - where it is respired to the atmosphere. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Our online simulator of the FEISTY fish community model is now live. Simulate the food web structure fish communities based on bottom depth and zooplankton production:

The importance of teaching units ecological theory and modelling is under-appreciated. Great to hear that units are being taken seriously!

We have an open associate professor/tenure track position in oceanography at the Technical University of Denmark. Be part of our expanding oceanography section and contribute to our new education in Ocean Engineering: efzu.fa.em2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid....

Finally in print: R package of the FEISTY global fish community model. Fast Fortran backend with an R interface makes it fast and easy to use FEISTY for your own applications. Used in the EU projects #NECCTON and @oceanicu.bsky.social. doi.org/10.1111/2041...

I have moved my online presence from twitter to Bluesky. Delighted to see so many from the old community are here already.
