While our classroom might look a little different, we can’t wait for our Duke University Block D drone class to start.

#365FemaleEcologists 33/365 Miriam Gerhard (#notonTwitter) defended her PhD thesis today in what turned out to be one of the best defenses I have seen. Great work on how temperature effects on phytoplankton depend on nutrient supply and stoichiometry. Great discussion ICBM_uol | @icbm-uol.bsky.social

Check out this new pub on cashing in on biological partnerships to enhance kelp restoration.

Great suggestion!! This book and one of the nice graduate level text books on community ecology are what I recommend.

Did you know lions, sea otters, hippos, elephants and other amazing beasts live in salt marshes? This new paper shows our idea that marshes are reserved for small creatures is myopic! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… Duke Marine Lab UNC IMS @leogaskins

Over the moon excited to announce the *brand new* @UVic Dr. Marmie Perkins Hess Research Fellowship. Apply (soon!) to JOIN my large collegial marine climate change group - open to your ideas and/or developing one together. $70K salary/benefits/research$. Pls Retweet.

Congratulations to Junlin Ren and Qiang He for being featured on the cover of Science Advances! These are among the prettiest marshes in the world. It was great working with you on this project! Duke Marine Lab Duke Environment UNC IMS NOAA Sea Grant Lenfest Ocean Program Pew Environment

Fancy a PhD working with Dan Smale WWF UK & myself at NCL Marine MBA - Marine Biological Association on quantifying the contribution of kelp farming to Blue Carbon ecosystem services tinyurl.com/27wnd4xj Full studentship & substantial research funding - deadline 29th Nov, start Jan 2022

Mangrove forests sequester disproportionally large amounts of CO2 & thus there is considerable interest in restoration to mitigate & adapt to climate change. #Restoration can provide multiple ecosystem service benefits, such coastal protection & supporting fisheries #CWTC21 1/5

Check out Our Shared Seas' interview with Ben Halpern on his team’s new study showing that wastewater nitrogen may be half as much as agricultural N inputs. ow.ly/MJIS50H4aYn

"The thing about wastewater is that it’s generally invisible. A lot of the pollution occurs unseen.” Check out the global map showing where human sewage is entering coastal ecosystems. 💩 ow.ly/PvQ050H4EbZ

Looking for solutions to help combat climate change? Our review just out highlights how conserving and restoring wetlands can reduce global emissions by ~5%!science.org

Climate Solutions: our paper in Science (science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…) reveals wetlands as carbon hotspots! They hold 20% of the earth's surface carbon. Stopping wetland loss can reduce global C02 emissions by up to 5%/yr!, Duke News,Lenfest Ocean Program, Duke Environment

Key to restoring wetlands is changing the restoration paradigm so that outplanting designs harness biological partnerships between organisms and ecosystems.Sabrina Imbler,Lenfest Ocean Program ,pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

GOAL!!!! SILLIMAN!! Parker with an incredible one on one effort down the right side. Beats his defender and gets his own rebound for the go ahead goal. 2-1 Cavs in the 60th

A huge road win for the Cavs at Jordan tonight!! Two Menjivar goals and the game winner from Silliman are the difference in a 3-1 victory! HighSchoolOT
