Marine snow is the continuous drift of organic debris—such as dead plankton and fecal pellets—from the ocean's surface down to the deep sea, serving as a primary mechanism for long-term carbon sequestration.

Marine snow is a continuous shower of organic dust and detritus that falls from the upper layers of the ocean to the seafloor, acting as a vital "biological pump" that transports and stores atmospheric carbon in the deep

Oceanography is the comprehensive, interdisciplinary study of the Earth's oceans and seas, encompassing their physical properties, chemical composition, biological ecosystems, and geological structures. Its primary goal is to understand the complex, dynamic processes that govern the marine environment, how the ocean interacts with the atmosphere to regulate global climate

Sea levels along global coastlines are significantly higher than previously assumed in coastal hazard impact studies, with actual levels in regions like Southeast Asia and the Indo-Pacific measuring 1 to 1.5 meters above prior baselines.

Hudson Bay borders the Canadian provinces of Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, and Nunavut. This body of saltwater has a surface area of 1,230,000 km2, an average depth of 100 m, a maximum length of 1,370 km, and the maximum depth of 270 m. It is home to cod and salmon. #Oceanography

Just saw the news about the EU launching 'OceanEye' and Barcelona building a 'Digital Twin' of their port using AI drones. Part of me (the guy who loves a clean dataset) is fascinated. Imagine being able to see every blade of seagrass and calculate blue carbon in real-time without ever dropping a tethered camera.

Anyone else following these 'Ocean Digital Twins'? Or are you still partial to the view from the deck?

Got questions about for ocean observation? 🤖

Later this season, I'll be chatting to Dr. Simona Aracri from the National Research Council of Italy about innovative robot designs for oceanography and environmental monitoring.

Send me your questions for Simona in the comments below or on the Robot Talk website: robottalk.org/ask-a-question/

🌊 This week, ocean scientists from across the globe gathered in Glasgow for the Ocean Sciences Meeting 2026.
Researchers from many disciplines shared new results, exchanged ideas, and strengthened international collaborations. 13 of our #MPIM ocean scientists took part, presenting their work, contributing to discussions, and engaging with colleagues. Thanks to everyone who connected with us in Glasgow. We look forward to continuing the conversations.👋

#AliceMarzocchi (National Oceanography Centre) added an impressive example of the Labrador Sea (between Greenland and Canada) subpolar gyre mixing collapse obtained by high-resolution ocean-ice-biogeochemistry modeling

Alice Marzocchi's talk on "Future subpolar gyre tipping point? Deep convection shutdown in a high-resolution ocean-ice-biogeochemistry simulation", which shows a time series of mixing depth in the Labrador Sea. it has a drastic cassation of mixing in the 2040s.

Ocean Sciences Meeting starts today with the *Atlantic Ocean* 🌊📈

@rahmstorf presenting on the "Risk of Major Future [Atlantic meridional overturning circulation] AMOC Changes":

1. AMOC has a thermosaline tipping point, but also a wind-driven one (?)
2. Subpolar gyre might collapse
3. Many different parameters show slowing of AMOC, density changes, deep water formation
4. Underlined by paleoclimatological studies
5. Breakdown of convection might happen already quite early (next decades?)

We don’t understand enough about how the ocean absorbs CO2, says UNESCO.

This creates critical uncertainties in climate projections.
