Glad to see our papers on DCMs distribution, #TopCited, and on their response to eddies, #TopDownloaded! 👀 bit.ly/3mmyMba bit.ly/3Ks5SOU Thanks Hervé Claustre for coordinating this PhD work at LABO LOV, Sabrina Speich & R. Laxenaire, and all collaborators! #BGCArgo

Ça a poussé fort aujourd'hui! Le camion du LABO LOV est prêt pour Brest! Chargement du navire océanographique Thalassa dans 2 jours!! ⏳🚢 COMPLEX LOV IMEV-Institut de la Mer de Villefranche

Today get out the results of a 7 years marathon around the Tara Pacific expedition. In a collection of 8 papers (nature.com/collections/ad…) and more to come.

But such an expedition is also a "beast" by itself: 100 000 km of distance, 2.5 years of manipulation, 32 islands, 108 sites, 249 oceanographic stations, 58 000 samples following 44 different protocols, 10 automatic instruments giving rise to 3.8 million measurements.

To allow to everyone to find his way to such a jungle of data and samples, the full protocol description is also published nature.com/articles/s4159…

it describes how the different samples were obtained, processed and preserved for various analysis.

together with coral, an enormous amount of samples were also taken in open sea, using a protocol allowing to sample water, plankton, aerosols and trace metals (among others) while cruising at full speed!

The full provenance (sampling metadata) and environmental measurements corresponding to each samples and each collection events, completed with satellite derived data and model reanalysis, is fully provided within a collection of open access databases

All together those datasets pave the way to further works to track the effect of the very diverse environmental constraints that both the coral and the plankton are experiencing at the scale of the Pacific ocean, but see other papers from the same collection.

Shortly after defending her PhD, Thelma Panaïotis brilliantly presented some of her work at #ASLO2023, exploring how mixotrophy influences the fine scale distribution of giant protists of the clade Rhizaria. LABO LOV COMPLEX LOV

Following 5 months of glider deployment in the Ligurian Sea by a team of people from LABO LOV and IMEV-Institut de la Mer de Villefranche, we can present the first results combining classic biogeochemical sensors and UVP imaging at #ALSO2023. COMPLEX LOV Lov_OMTAB

The Biological Carbon Pump session at #ASLO2023 allowed Laetitia Drago and others to present their work on the EXPORTS cruise. In situ imaging allowed her to understand eddy dynamics a shed light on the complex process that the BCP is. Great job! COMPLEX LOV LABO LOV

To inform models and better understand the Biological Carbon Pump, the PSSdb project released its first product (zenodo.org/record/7998800): worldwide pelagic size spectra slopes and intercepts. It was just presented at #ASLO2023 by Mathilde Dugenne from COMPLEX LOV, LABO LOV

A long time series and original imaging and data processing methods showed an increase in diversity and extreme morphologies of plankton along the oligotrophication of the Mediterranean Sea, presented by Miriam Beck from COMPLEX LOV at #ASLO2023. LABO LOV IMEV-Institut de la Mer de Villefranche
