Sighting of the rare and enigmatic 𝑺𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒖𝒔 𝒅𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒖𝒔 searching for their instruments in Mission Bay this morning. Yui Takeshita Melissa Ward

We just published a review paper on the advancements of autonomous observations of the marine carbonate system over the last 5 years or so. Enjoy! @SethBushinsky Dr. Nancy Williams link.springer.com/article/10.100…

We just finished a cruise where one of the objectives were to test a new SBE pH sensor that integrates into the CTD (SBE9). The results are very encouraging! If you want one, call Seabird and tell them you are interested so they will make it a priority to make it available!

Check out this podcast aobut how robots are changing the way we study the ocean, featuring MBARI and SOCCOM researcher Ken Johnson!

Congratulations to our Director of Communications Heidi Cullen who shares the 2019 National Center for Science Education Friend of the Planet award, for her work with Climate Parents -- helping families and teachers talk about #climatechange: ow.ly/4BLJ50uoZT9 #SciComm

I'm very excited for this collaboration! It was great that the installation went smoothly as well.

Congratulations Dr. Heidi Hirsh for her excellent paper on exploring the potential for kelp forests to locally ameliorate ocean acidification stress! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20… Kerry J. Nickols @StanfordEarth Dr. Sarah Traiger MBARI

Here's an article describing our work operating pH sensors on Spray gliders. We are working towards nitrate next!

So exciting!! So stoked that SEA is able to operate through this pandemic!!

Another press release for the paper by Dr. Heidi Hirsh!

A bit belated, but excited to announce that I defended my @StanfordEarth PhD just over two weeks ago! My dissertation examines the potential for kelp forests and/or seagrass beds to ameliorate local #oceanacidification stress. Want to learn more? Details in this 🧵

Our paper led by Dr. Phil Bresnahan on a self-calibrating ISFET pH sensor is out! Our hope is to address the challenges associated with calibrating ISFET sensors for more effective sensor observational networks for ocean acidification! aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Our paper describing the performance of pH sensors on Spray gliders just came out! It also includes a simple method to calibrate O2 optodes in air, with 1% accuracy, and assessment of algorithms to correct for pH sensor drift along the CCS. Check it out! journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/…

Check out our new paper led by @RomanoOrte demonstrates that algae communities on recently dead corals can calcify as fast as corals during the day! What does this mean for using net calcification rate measurements as a proxy for reef health? aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ln…

The first float was launched thanks to the support of the US GO-SHIP program and researchers aboard the A20 Expedition in the North Atlantic and has already sent data back to shore. Yui Takeshita quickly plotted the first profile so the team could begin tracking the data.

The most extensive study yet of how seagrasses—marine plants that form lush underwater meadows and provide critical food and habitat for myriad ocean life—can buffer ocean acidification was published today by UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz Science, and MBARI scientists: mbari.org/seagrasses-tur…

A new paper, led by Dr. Aurora M Ricart, shows the strong potential for seagrass meadows in California to buffer against ocean acidification stress, based on sensor deployments over multiple years.

As the researchers and crew aboard the R/V Thomas G. Thompson continue to deploy biogeochemical floats in the western North Atlantic, the arrival of the first profile data marks an exciting step forward for the #NSFfunded GO-BGC program: go-bgc.org/news/taking-th…

I'm evaluating student presentations at #OSM22, but it seems like the only feedback I can give is 'OK', 'Great', 'Outstanding', without any opportunity to give a more in depth evaluation. Am I missing something? if not, this is evaluation is meaningless...

Interested in how extreme events can affect ocean biogeochemistry? Register for the OCB-webinar today at 1PM Pacific to see how BGC-Argo data are being used to study impacts of bushfires and Southern Ocean storms! us14.campaign-archive.com/?u=be293460fdc…
