Out on the shallow #sea, there are #foraminifera living on seaweed, we call them epiphytes. You'd think that these forams would each have a favorite #algae, but not. If any, the two groups seem to share more common responses to external forcing than on each other.

Bream – a pond with branches

Today's 3D scene is based on a bream. The fish swims in its own world. There's a lake here. And several river branches lead to a pond. And there's an outlet to the river. Right now, the fish is in the pond. Which is already overgrown. And it's quiet here.

#Algae Growth on #Greenland’s #Ice Contributes to Melting, Studies Show
New studies show how algae grows on ice and snow, creating “dark zones” that exacerbate melting in the region.
As a warming #climate eats away at the ice that covers most of the world’s largest island, algae blooms are speeding up that process, according to two new studies. Greenland is shedding hundreds of billions of tons of ice every year and raising #sealevel as it does.

Stagnating Lost Lagoon in Stanley Park could be reconnected to ocean
Instead of a growing bloom of algae and worsening water quality — a result, the board says, of a century of infilling — a lagoon reconnected to the sea could see bird-rich mud flats at low tide, and marsh-like conditions at high tide.

I used black glass shards as back- and underground and diffuse daylight. The dark field isolates a tiny branch with bright yellow, yellow, and orange-yellow lichens. There are soft transitions, no harsh specular highlights on the thallus surface, and the small cup structures remain readable without blown edges.

The lichens on this tiny twig are light green to yellow. A tiny light green moss plant grows among them. The twig was placed on and in front of black glass shards by day.

A macro photograph shows two lichen species on a concrete wall. One species displays all shades from pale yellow to orange-yellow, while the other is light gray and has many thin stems, some of which are coiled into spirals. Both species are often found growing together, even when there is enough space for them to coexist. This suggests a beneficial relationship between the two.

Whitefish in a Lake

Today's 3D scene is based on the whitefish. And this is this fish's world. The fish lives here. It swims a lot. It swims to other fish in their little worlds. Each fish here has its own world, where this fish lives. There's a huge lake here. It's simply enormous. And you can swim a lot and peacefully.

Algae and leaves in an aquarium.
I don't think it's right to keep animals in a glass box, especially when they were taken from nature.
Plants are ok.

A dark clump of algae with white shining air bubbles hanging in it. The background is colored rust-red by a blurry piece of broken clay.

The image shows several long leaves of an aquatic plant, one of which is sharply focused in the foreground, while the others fade into blurriness towards the back. In some places, the leaves are covered with algae. This, along with other leaves in the background, makes the water look green. Dark brown patterns are particularly visible on the front leaf.

The left half of the Image is covered by a green leav of a waterplant. In the background are some air bubbles, Most of them are visible as blurred spots in light green to white tones. In the upper right corner, a large one can clearly be seen as an air bubble. In the centre, two more small bubbles bubble discreetly upwards in focus.

Some #weird #algae growing over everything in the low #creek #green #photography

University of Missouri: Lab-grown algae removes microplastics from water. “In a recent study, [Professor Susie] Dai used genetic engineering to create a new kind of algae that produces a volatile natural oil called limonene — the same chemical that gives oranges their refreshing scent. Limonene makes the new algae water-repellent. Because microplastics are also water-repellent, the two come […]

ARCTIC MEAL
Course 1 // Kelpsalad, kelp kaviar, coral flan, soya aged egg yolk, smoky wasabi foam

For each course of the dinner, we identified a selection of key ingredients that formed the foundation of the dish. Complementary ingredients were then carefully chosen to complete and refine each course.

In northern and Arctic regions, #ALGAE are strongly affected by climate change. Rising sea temperatures, melting sea ice, and ocean acidification alter light conditions, nutrient cycles, and habitats. Ice-dependent microalgae lose their living space as sea ice retreats, while COLD-WATER #KELP FORESTS are stressed by warming and increased storm activity.

ARCTIC COLD-WATER #CORALS are affected by the climate crisis through a combination of environmental and human-driven changes. Rising ocean temperatures disrupt the narrow thermal tolerance of these corals, negatively affecting their growth and reproduction. At the same time, ocean acidification, which is particularly pronounced in cold waters, hampers the formation of their calcium carbonate skeletons and weakens existing reef structures.

WHEAT farming in northern regions is threatened by the climate crisis mainly through more frequent extreme weather. Warmer winters reduce snow cover, which exposes winter wheat to frost damage. Increased rainfall causes waterlogging and fungal diseases, while heat waves during summer shorten grain filling and lower yields. We used the #wheat to create the coral flans.

We served SWEDISH WHITE WINE with the course. Due to global warming, it is now possible to grow wine in southern Sweden.

[I was an artist in residence at #Ricklundgården in #Saxnäs, Sweden for the last weeks and created a conceptual meal ("Arctic Meal") in cooperation with the local chef Jonathan Johansson illustrating the impacts of the climate crisis on northern Sweden and the Arctic].

Multiple cut-glass bowls arranged on a table each contain a nest of kelp salad topped with a soy-marinated egg yolk, while a hand uses a spoon to place another yolk from a bowl of dark soy sauce onto one of the dishes.

🧊 As a result of global warming, the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is shrinking. During earlier interglacials, a similar behaviour had an unexpected result on algae growth in the adjacent Southern Ocean, a new study by scientists from the University of Oldenburg, published in Nature Geoscience, reveals.
