It’s #WorldOceansDay!🌊 The theme this year? Catalysing Action for Our Ocean & Climate. At WAM, we’re tackling a quiet crisis: ocean deoxygenation. Less oxygen = more risk for marine life + food security. We’re building models & collecting data to turn science into action. #WAMProject #OceanClimate

Day 2 of the #WAMMeeting
Half the group visited Sea Technology Services to see the ocean gliders, while others toured the V&A Waterfront by Duckboat 🌊
Now hearing from Dr Sarah Nicholson (SOCCO) before more talks and collaborative discussions!

Say hello to the Atmosphere-Ocean Interactions Team!
They’re unravelling how ocean-atmosphere exchanges shape marine chemistry and climate, from nitrogen isotope work to aerosol impacts. Another key part of the WAM puzzle!

Polymetallic nodules can generate oxygen in total darkness, no sunlight needed. As WAM explores oxygen dynamics along the West African margin, findings like this show how much we still don’t know about deep-sea systems.

Evidence of dark oxygen production at the abyssal seafloor - Nature Geoscience
Oxygen is generated abiotically at the abyssal seafloor in the presence of polymetallic nodules, potentially by seawater electrolysis, according to in situ chamber and ex situ incubation experiments.
