The Octopus Garden captured the curiosity of millions of people around the world. MBARI and its advanced deep-sea technology have helped BBC Earth share the story of these deep-sea octopus moms as part of their new series, Planet Earth III. Learn more: mbari.org/news/mbari-tec…

The SciComm Team at MBARI just posted our next 2-year Science Communication Fellowship opportunity. If you 💙ocean science, tech, & conservation and are passionate about inclusive #SciComm, multimedia storytelling, & climate change, check it out: mbari.co/SciCommFellow2…

Previously it was thought that mostly the number of clicks and their timing matters. We identify two discrete patterns that we call the a-vowel and the i-vowel. We also observe clear trajectories in formant frequency that we call diphthongs.

We argue that sperm whales actively exchange a-vowels and i-vowels in dialogues. This opens up new potential research (= whale philology) and suggest that sperm whale codas are much more expressive and compositional than previously thought.

Clever depiction of global climate warming for each month of each year since 1940 from Copernicus

The alarming slowdown of the ocean carbon pump shows why we need a global ocean health observing system. SOCCOM Global Ocean Biogeochemistry Array @bgc_argo data are critical to study how climate change is changing the ocean, especially the Southern Ocean. bit.ly/3RH0yvR Science Magazine

New York City is now making it easier to build housing by exempting most projects under 250 units from environmental review if they don't use fossil fuels. bit.ly/3U6Uu0W

Unseasonable warmth in Florida continues. This mornings warm low temperatures were made at least 5X more likely by climate change. Global warming is warming overnight temperatures faster than daytime in part due to warmer ocean temps and extra moisture the air can now hold.

This image is astonishing for both the message it communicates and for its sci comm value. Incredible work by team Copernicus EU It shows global ocean temps for each year since 1940. The alarming, yet brilliant part is the pink shading which highlights the 2023-2024 jump 1/

🚨 Collapse of the land carbon sink in 2023 🚨 As the CO2 growth rate reached a record high at Mauna Loa, we set up a low-latency analysis of the carbon budget and found that plants and soils absorbed almost no CO2 last year GlobalCarbonProject Gianpaolo Balsamo arxiv.org/abs/2407.12447

We’re not where we need to be to protect our ocean and the lives that depend on it. A recent report, supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies, highlights key actions governments need to take now to protect our ocean. See how we can turn the tide at #COP16.

#ICYMI - last week our program welcomed 24 new award winners! 🏆 🎉 These awards, given by National Academies in partnership with Schmidt Sciences, recognize individuals who communicate issues and advances in #STEM to the general public. Learn more: nationalacademies.org/awards/excelle… #scicomm

Here is why 2024 is virtually certain be the warmest year on record and first one above 1.5°C 🧵

This is the best paper written so far about the impact of AI on scientific discovery

Honored and grateful to have raised three future service dogs. 🙏 🐾 These amazing pups bring independence, comfort, and so much joy to their future human partners. ❤️ #GuideDogs #PuppyRaiser

Global Carbon Budget is out with an estimated growth of 0.8% [-0.3% to 1.9%] in 2024.
