Check out the Carbon Flux Ecology Lab blog! 🤩 Emily Mitchell shares her experience at MBARI and delves into the artistic process behind her stunning illustrations of #phaeodaria 🌟

Working with her it has been an absolute joy!

And while we weren't looking, North Atlantic sea surface temperatures have been spiking, as of yesterday back up to 4σ above the 1991-2020 mean.

First steps in the protist world! I was so lucky to be invited on MBARI R/V Rachel Carson by Natalia Llopis and Colleen Durkin to look at fascinating deep sea plankton!!
(and also to discover how sick I can be on a boat 😅)

Look at this gorgeous phaeodarian colony ⬇️

A study in NatureClimate suggests that global mean surface temperatures may have already passed 1.5°C of warming and could exceed 2°C by the end of the decade. go.nature.com/49i4oC9

New preprint alert! 🔔 Investigating a rare Nassellaria, our research suggests the gelatinous matrix could be an adaptation to oligotrophy.
Dive into the details here: 👇

Why do some planktonic protists develop a gelatinous matrix? Here we show that this original adaptation is a strategy to cope with oligotrophy in the oceans: doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…
With Natalia Llopis, Sarah Romac, Manon Laget and Tristan Biard

Microbial community succession on sinking particles controls how deep carbon is sequestered in the ocean. We quantified this by resolved the microbial community on hundreds of individually isolated particles. Brandon Stephens lead this analysis: doi.org/10.1093/ismejo…

I am looking for a postdoc to analyze lake plankton time series and large spatial datasets to identify drivers of harmful algal blooms and to characterize community responses to changing conditions. Remote work is possible. Please RT and share. jobs.carnegiescience.edu/jobs/postdocto…

Ostréiculture : 'Ce ne sont pas les huîtres qui sont malades, ce sont les humains', Philippe Le Gal ➡️ l.franceinter.fr/HGq

With parts of England flooded again, a reminder that one key reason is that our winters are getting wetter as the world is warming.
Lots of variation from year-to-year but winter rainfall has increased by ~27% overall since records began in 1837.
