Africa: Drifting Architects - Plankton, Climate, and the Race to Understand Our Changing Ocean: [UN News] Drifting with the currents, plankton are the ocean's lifeblood - invisible yet essential, regulating the climate and sustaining entire ecosystems. On the French Riviera, scientists are racing to decipher their secrets before the silence of their decline echoes across the planet. http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TLFKWY #Plankton #ClimateChange #OceanConservation #MarineEcosystem #SustainableScience

Unfiltered and ghostly, delicate yet powerful underwater world. I haven't had time to do any treatment, and i like them like these - photographs awash in various hue of green and blue - verdigris 😊.

I wish i could stay a little longer, my soul feeling similarly delicate and faint in a face of what awaits in global North / Western world with dark powers unleashed.

Feeling scared for all vulnerable earthlings, i wish i could protect them all.

> ... while at first glance it appears that the expansion of #CoralCommunities, like those described here, are a positive result from rising ocean temperatures, the effects could be disastrous. Changes in coastal community structure and composition in response to #ClimateChange pose threats not only to #SeaweedCommunities, but also to the functioning of the entire #MarineEcosystem. While #corals are beautiful, without #seaweed, the future looks ugly.

In watching how these 2 #hurricanes evolve and eventually end somewhere in the Atlantic ocean, it is clear that both systems will cross paths a different times over the same sector a couple of days apart.

Lukily it is over the ocean and not over land. However, from the view point of the #marineecosystem:

What is the impact of two major sources of fresh water and severe mixing along the water column ? how would the system react and how would it take to go back to normal?

How to ensure the integrity of information submitted to the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) by data providers?
This week I co-chaired WKEnsure, a workshop tasked to develop guidance to address potential conflicts of interest in data & information provision that may affect the integrity of #ICES ICES #marinescience & advice for #fisheries and #marineecosystem #management.

Hello 👋 A quick introduction:

I'm a #biological #oceanographer originally using large, 400 kg imaging instruments to study #zooplankton distributions. Developed #citizenscience and #deeplearning methods for plankton classifications. I then made a hard switch to modeling, developing #marineecosystem and #oceanbiogeochemicalmodels for IPCC-class #earthsystemmodels.

Interested in #climate #oceans #plankton #DEI #scicomm and just making academia a better place!
