My life changed when I first read "The Sea Around Us." Rachel Carson's words captured my 13-yr old sense of wonder for a place I barely knew but felt for so deeply, the ocean. Honored to speak to her legacy @agu.org and grateful to my colleagues for the nomination 🌊💙

🌊❄️🇦🇶Attention polar nerds: the Southern Ocean Observing System is organizing a Virtual Workshop on "Ocean Connectivity & Exchange Across the Antarctic Peninsula: Processes and Impacts". Join us on October 14-16! Registration here: airtable.com/appoukWG95eu...

And please share with your networks.

Virtual Workshop on Ocean Connectivity & Exchange Across the Antarctic Peninsula: Processes and Impacts
𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆:
𝗦𝗢𝗢𝗦 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝗮-𝗦𝗰𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗮 𝗔𝗿𝗰 (𝗪𝗔𝗣𝗦𝗔) 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 (𝗥𝗪𝗚)

The Antarctic Peninsula is a critical region of ocean exchange along the Antarctic coast, where the cold Weddell Sea and the warm Bellingshausen Sea meet. In this 3-day virtual workshop on “Ocean Connectivity and Exchange Across the Antarctic Peninsula: Processes and Impacts”, we will discuss the physical drivers modulating the ocean circulation and along-shore exchange in the region and their potential impact on biogeochemical processes.

𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁: The workshop will be held on October 14-16, 2025. We will hold three 2.5-hour sessions timed to span as many time zones as possible. Invited talks will be followed by short lighting presentations and discussions.
