Amazing project with beautiful music and haunting words donnagrantis.com

Last chance to register to attend in-person! We can't wait to welcome you in Edinburgh in just over a month. ⌛️

Proud to have worked with this amazing guitarist and activist on her project. You might have heard her shredding the national anthem for Dave Grohl during the superbowl... Can't wait to hear more! Donna Grantis Outrage + Optimism thestar.com/entertainment/…

"Decolonizing Conservation Reading List (Version 2.0)" This tailored list of readings by @secanno of NCEAS is meant for non-Indigenous people working in ecology to self-educate on the colonialist roots of conservation science. saracannon.ca/2023/01/23/dec…

Had an amazing time talking about oceanmemoryproject.org with brilliant scientists, artists, and thinkers. Thanks to @SeepExplorer and @RebeccaRutstein for organizing!

Just realized that it was about this time 30 years ago that I decided to be a deep-sea biologist. Thanks Moss Landing Marine Labs Fitting that I am on an epic journey of research over the last few weeks including DC, NYC, Sapelo Island, NIOZ, Oslo, then Edinburgh. Science!

Ironic to see this on display in the building in Oslo where we are meeting to discuss deep-sea coral restoration. “The oil and gas industry learns from mistakes” Do they?

The IRA’s climate provisions are critical to our survival, and proposals to fast-track fossil fuel permitting are unacceptable. They must be off the table for debt limit negotiations. No exceptions. To build a livable future, we cannot default on climate action.

How many species are found in the Pacific Abyss? Our new paper says >6000 and less than 500 have names. Lots of taxonomy to do!

Cordes lab, past, present, and future representing at ISDSC8 sorry we didn’t catch you @quattrinia

Happy to be representing the deep sea at the UN ICP on New Marine Technologies and their Sustainable Use. #UNGA

On #WorldOceanDay2023, I'm proud to share Brandon Keim's wonderful article, Dubious Economics of Deep-Sea Mining bit.ly/3MWoxn9 - I point out uncertainty & risk of investing in DSM alongside @more_whit, contextualizing Victor Vescovo's insightful and harsh economic analysis

The new High Seas treaty at the UN went into effect! Lots of hard work by DOSI to get this one to the finish line! news.un.org/en/story/2023/…

Some good coverage from Chris D'Angelo on the lost sub. Still holding out hope that the assets on site can find them quickly today. No matter where we go from here, there will always be a place for manned exploration of the deep ocean.

Sad day for the families and friends of those lost in the #Titan Butter V2 but it doesnt change my support for human-occupied submersibles like #Alvin Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) which took me to 6000m last year. I’d do it again tomorrow!

Great summary of vulnerability / resilience of ecosystems to oil & gas: "Given the magnitude of the deep ocean habitats... data gaps urgently need to be addressed and the roles of deep-sea species properly evaluated" frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

I wrote about safety in the field of deep sea exploration and how OceanGate bucked established norms Includes lengthy discussion w/ Bruce Strickrott, manager and chief pilot of Navy-owned sun Alvin, as well as interviews with @SeepExplorer and Erik Cordes huffpost.com/entry/deep-sea…
