FYORD Summer School 2025 "Diving Into Change: Exploring Marine Carbon Storage and Removal to Mitigate Climate Change" Registration to the FYORD Summer School 2025 is open now! Doctoral Researchers and Master´s students from all over Germany and the world that are working with marine topics can apply until July 27, 20...

Dear #ocean loving #master's students and #PhD candidates,

Join a free 5-day #summerschool this September in Kiel, Germany, on Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal and Storage, hosted by #GEOMAR & #UniKiel. Interdisciplinary, inspiring and by the sea! Network, learn and chill!!!!

Info & apply: below 👇

It was an absolute pleasure to join the webinar on 'mastering research and thesis writing' as a guest speaker at #UniversityofRuhuna, #SriLanka. I was hugely impressed by the passion and enthusiasm the students reflected throughout the sesson. The future of our ocean is in safe hands.

A month ago, I started the next phase of my career as a #postdoc at #GEOMAR. Doing science with a team of absolutely brilliant #datascientists and #modellers has been trully inspiring. Every day at work is one step closer to being the #oceanographer I am meant to be.

The Seven Stages of climate denial:

1. It's not real
2. It's not us
3. It's not that bad
4. We have time
5. It's too expensive to fix
6. Here's a fake solution
7. It's too late: you should have warned us earlier

Trolls use all of these stages to deny reality of #climatechange on Ex-Twitter 🤣

Inefficient transfer of diatoms through the subpolar Southern Ocean twilight zone - Nature Geoscience Diatom skeletons largely remain near the surface of the subpolar Southern Ocean following diatom bloom events, suggesting that they do not play as big a role in the downward flux of organic matter as ...

We at #NOCS investigate the #oceanbiogeochemistry through #dataanalysis and #modelling. Check out our following paper which introduces a novel analytical technique to study couped #O2 and #CO2 trends in the surface #ocean.

Sinuses prevented prehistoric croc relatives from deep diving Sinuses prevented prehistoric croc relatives from deep diving

Our researchers found that the sinuses of ocean dwelling relatives of modern-day crocodiles prevented them from evolving into deep divers, like whales and dolphins.

Due to the ongoing #CycloneFengal and associated extreme #FloodSL in #SriLanka, more than 300,000 persons are so far affected with the number of casualties growing as we speak. It is no longer prayers that the country needs right now, but proper environmental awareness and disaster management.

You take the first baby step on @bsky.app. You get excited by all the cool #science unravelling at every nook and cranny. And just when you are all set to dive into the tempting waters, you find the much-needed 'goggles' 👇
