Only a few hours before the talk! ⏰
Come and see the wonders of #mesophotic #corals 🪸
It's open and free for the public, you just have to register here 👇🏼

Still time to register for free! 💃🏼

What links these corals?
They’re all part of mesophotic coral ecosystems—deep, dim, and little-understood habitats teeming with life.

New paper led by @dr-clara-diaz.bsky.social looks at ‘Predicting the Distribution of Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems in the Chagos Archipelago’ This study provides the first prediction of MCE distribution and their benthic communities in the Archipelago. 🦑

Eeek! Here my new paper where we predicted the distribution of #mesophotic #coral ecosystems in the Chagos Archipelago, using #Maxent onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/.... I can now say that MY ENTIRE PHD IS PUBLISHED! @plymbiomarsci.bsky.social @plymuni.bsky.social @iomarinescience.bsky.social

Travelling light for fieldwork... Only 8 luggage, easy 😂👌🏼👌🏼

OUT NOW 'coral reef microbiome' by Springer Nature link.springer.com/book/10.1007... .. some 2.5 years in the making, jam packed: check out Ch.16 on Assisted Restoration as the sum of approaches required to deliver effective ecological restoration! Many thanks to all contributors @uni-konstanz.de

📣 We are thrilled to announce that the #SouthSandwichIslands expedition with Schmidt Ocean Institute and GoSouth is underway!

Find out more on our expedition webpage and follow along for updates. oceancensus.org/expeditions/...

Such a great way to start the week: #benthic sampling for the 2nd year MBO students of University of Plymouth with a Van Veen grab and a Box corer, with the ☀️ as a bonus !

The Woman Who Demonstrated the Greenhouse Effect

Eunice Newton Foote showed that carbon dioxide traps the heat of the sun in 1856, beating the so-called father of the greenhouse effect by at least three years. Why was she forgotten?

Seamounts have been likened to ‘oases’ of life in the deserts of the open ocean. This integrated study of tropical #seamounts suggests that high faunal biomass is sustained by exogenous energy inputs and that they act as aggregating 'hubs' for marine top #predators 🧪 @plosbiology.org plos.io/4hqrJoY

Superb post-doc opportunity 👇Read the thread and get your applications in!

🚨Exciting new #coralreef postdoc!🚨

Apply to explore reef-pelagic connectivity with the @lec-reefs.bsky.social team! I’m thrilled to be partnering on this – we'll be tackling some fascinating research questions.

Full details & how to apply on original thread. Deadline: 28th Feb 🐟 Don’t miss out!

Come work with us! We are hiring a postdoc to assist in several ongoing projects in coral reef larval and disease ecology. Successful candidates will have interests in numerical modeling. Experience in coral larval husbandry/ex-situ spawning is a plus. Please reach out with questions, and repost!

More than 40% of postdocs leave academia, study reveals

Thank you Martin 😊

So good to start the year by catching up with the great science that we do at the @plymbiomarsci.bsky.social in @plymuni.bsky.social!
And first time as a session chair 🫣😃
