Eurythenes plasticus, a new species of amphipod, small to medium-sized crustaceans found in aquatic environments worldwide, was named by the British researchers after the plastic pollution found in its guts. forbes.com/sites/davidbre… #marinesciences #deepocean

Roberto Burioni salve Professore, a partire dai dati ufficiali della Protezione Civile ho creato un Situation Report di 6 pagine per #COVID19 in Italia, con molti più dettagli di quelli comunemente visibili. app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrIjo…

Ebbene sì, incredibile: è di nuovo ora di merenda! Come 10 minuti fa! Come ogni cazzo di ora! Sì!

New book chapter " #PlasticPollution in #marine and #freshwater environments: abundance, sources, and mitigation" with a great team 🌎 @Sedat_Gundogdu1, @frkhan_ecotox, @OlivelliAri, @wastefreephd, and @TimVanEmmerik (DM for pdf) #plastic #wastemangement #circulareconomy ♻️

New paper out! A look at #mesophotic biogenic mounds offshore Malta, the potential risks they face from anthropogenic activity and the need for protection. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… From RhodoMalta w/ Andrea Giulia Varzi, Adam Gauci, Aaron Micallef, Dr Tim Le Bas and TrawledSeas Project. #MPA

Great talks all, showing the huge range of interactions of biological systems with shaping of the seafloor and how we can look at them. And now - to a session on submarine canyons! #ICoSLPE

#seafloor2022 Geomorphology Mapping Workshop 🗺

Helping an outstanding PhD student from Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, Andrea Giulia Varzi, working on a paper from her PhD where we try to refine the chronology of submerged #marineterraces, and test if they are recording the #Pleistocene/#Holocene transition period. 1/n

If interested, she will be presenting preliminary results from this work at INQUARoma2023. Look for her presentation next July in #Rome. Collaborating with outstanding colleagues such as the Uniba.it Aldo Moro crew, Dr. Luca Fallati, Alessandra Savini et al. is crucial for Andrea Giulia Varzi's paper

Underwater photogrammetry activities with the participants of the #mtmt workshop! Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca @marine_sciences_unimib #maldives #ocean #coralreef @ Marhe, Marine Research and High Education Center instagram.com/p/CqFyhnepEZ-/…

The Mapping Technologies and Monitoring Techniques (MT&MT) in Coral Reef Environments workshop has started! The activities of the first days were dedicated to drone mapping using different platforms and ground stations and struggling against rain!

Underwater #photogrammetry activities with the participants of the #MTMT workshop! Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca #Maldives #corals

The participants of the #MTMT workshop illustrated some of the models realized with #underwater #photogrammetry #techniques. Great job folks!

The second edition of the #MTMT workshop has been such an incredible experience! I had the pleasure to know and work with amazing people. Thank you a lot, folks! Plus, I collected cool data with my beloved #R2sonic2022 #MBES. "Multibeam is Multicool"

Hernando, Paula and Maycol have developed a Google Earth engine app to detect and monitor methane seeps in the ocean: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Nearly there to submit this manuscript after a last reading. Andrea Giulia Varzi, PhD student from Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, did an amazing job with the mapping and characterization of these submarine paleoshorelines in the #Marzamemi offshore, SE #Sicily. Really happy to have followed her @egu talk...

New call for proposals for Short Term Scientific Missions on themes related to offshore freshened groundwater within OFF-SOURCE: off-source.eu/activities/sho… Please apply before the 2nd February 2024.

The Salas y Gómez Ridge extends off the coast of Chile to Rapa Nui. An expedition led by Erin Easton on board R/V Falkor (too) will explore seamounts along this ridge and their biodiversity. Follow the expedition here: schmidtocean.org/cruise/unexplo… Schmidt Ocean MBARI

Noto Canyon is a strange looking canyon SE of Sicily. It is thought to have formed by the passage of the Zanclean flood from the western to the eastern Mediterranean. To test this hypothesis, we are mapping exposed and buried sections of Noto Canyon in unprecedented detail.

There is hope because there is evidence that protection works. When caring replaces killing, species and systems rebound.
