Icebergs everywhere, gracing the landscape, shaping their paths, driving changes in the ocean, and challenging marine scientists to uncover their impacts on the ocean and our planet. 💙

Agora uma opinião (talvez?) polêmica: ensinar é o que separa cientista de pesquisador. Acho pouquíssimo provável que um cientista que ame o que faz não queira desesperadamente ensinar isso para outras pessoas.

Reflections on COP30 Global Mutirão final decision text:

What a brilliant week full of wide-ranging discussions on #Antarctica & #SouthernOcean during the Ant-ICON #SCAR workshop. Thanks @bfiguerola.bsky.social for the fantastic presentation on the @goa-on.bsky.social @soosocean.bsky.social SO - #OA hub to the community! And very nice to meet you! 🤗 🌊

Heading to the Ant-ICON Workshop in Paris next week to discuss Shaping the Future of #Antarctic Conservation?💙 Don’t miss @bfiguerola.bsky.social’s talk on the brand-new @soosocean.bsky.social #SouthernOcean #OceanAcidification hub! We’re excited to share ideas with fellow Antarctic enthusiasts. 🤗 🌊

Delighted to share our worthwhile declaration on #Ocean Negative Carbon Emissions #ONCE, which brought together nearly 100 #ECRs from almost 50 countries around the world. 💙 Thank you to Shenghui Li for brilliantly leading this excellent piece of work! 🤗 🌊

“Todos temem o tempo, e o tempo teme as pirâmides do Egito.” 👌

Como diria Ana Paula Renault: “Eu desci para essa terra para ser protagonista de tudo o que eu me proponho a fazer.”

Eu já assisti a tantos filmes de terror e suspense que sou completamente cabreiro com várias coisas. Por exemplo, fui caminhar na floresta e montanha em Tromsø e levei um alicate de unha, porque vai que aparece um doido assassino por lá… na minha cabeça o alicate de unha salvaria minha vida. 🆘

So delighted to see this paper out! 😍

Look who’s stepped out of those brilliant polar biogeochemistry papers and ended up right here beside me! 😍 I’m absolutely delighted about this fantastic opportunity to have some fun while collaborating with and learning from Libby Jones over the coming months. 🤗

After crossing 101º of latitude, around 13,000 km and some countries, from the far south of Brazil to the far north of Norway, I’ve finally arrived in beautiful, and now brilliantly sunlit, Tromsø. So excited for what lies ahead over the coming months of the boreal summer! 🥰

Ainda impactado com o show da Lady Gaga e como fui de 0 1000 em relação às músicas dela. 🤯

A vida é uma caixinha de surpresas.

Coisa mais cafona que existe é brasileiro que vai para outro país e começa a falar mal do Brasil. 🙄

It’s been a fantastic start and I’m so happy to be part of this exciting group. Looking forward to what’s to come! 🥰🤗

Explorar petróleo na foz do rio Amazonas em 2025 é como ter insistido no óleo de baleia para acender candeeiros no início do século XX, com a luz elétrica já em ascensão. Além de toda a importante preocupação ambiental, é BURRICE!

Somehow, this restores my hope in doing science. Many thanks for that, dear reviewers! 🥰

I've been struggling to keep my enthusiasm in academia filled with frustrations and injustices. But today, I received a review with valuable criticisms and enriching suggestions that will greatly improve my paper and foster deep discussions.

Thank you! 🤗🥰

I’m so delighted to have this enthusiastic opportunity to help promote our understanding of #oceanacidification in the #SouthernOcean and strengthen communication & collaboration between #APECS, @goa-on.bsky.social, & @soosocean.bsky.social 🌊 🥰 Many thanks for this, I’m keen to get stuck in! 🤗💙

É impossível que um cientista não queira mostrar seus achados aos pares (publicando artigos) ou falar sobre sua pesquisa (divulgando a ciência). Por isso, a Pós-Graduação deve concentrar esforços na formação de cientistas com uma base filosófica e ética sólida e não apenas na publicação de artigos.

If you want to know how concerned to be about climate change, talk to a climate scientist. Very.

If you want to know how concerned to be about the rise of fascism, talk to a historian. The ones I’ve spoken to are as concerned about our time as any other time in the last 100 years.

New CO2 paper released!!

We have identified the main #physical and #biological processes that influence #CO2 exchange between the #ocean and the atmosphere over a wide area of the #Southern Ocean! 🌊

access the paper here: doi.org/10.1016/j.ma...

Very nice and efficient paper came out, featuring elegant figures, as the reviewer said! 🗣️ 🌊

Take a look here 👉 authors.elsevier.com/a/1kZNB_6w-M...

Se você tem uma sólida formação científica, baseada em filosofia e ética e não apenas na especialidade, é quase impossível sucumbir à vaidade, simplesmente porque isso é constrangedor.

Wow.. fantastic opening ceremony! interdisciplinarity and real science for the benefit of society. 😍

So excited to talk and hear about #science in the coming days in such a wonderful place!🥰
Many thanks @agenciafapesp.bsky.social for this fantastic opportunity! 🤗

Out today on Netflix…! New documentary series “Our Oceans”, narrated by Barack Obama. Very pleased to have contributed as scientific consultant. 🌊

A line graph depicting the ocean sink for carbon dioxide (Sₒᑐₑₐₙ) from 1960 to 2020. It includes multiple data series represented by different colored lines, showing CO₂ flux in Gt. Also shown are the number of monthly observation gird cells available, showing a decline for about a decade.

Routine observations are not exciting. Yet, measurements of surface ocean partial pressure of CO₂ (pCO₂; think of this as concentration) are important for determining annual ocean CO₂ uptake. It's alarming that the number of observations has been decreasing. 🌊

Cover from The Economist from two years ago "Say goodbye to 1.5°C; why climate policy is off target". It has a graphic of the Earth with an apple on its head, and a arrow shot through the Earth.

A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting.

Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.
