We are conducting a short survey (5–10 minutes) to explore how different #stakeholders perceive the value of #biodiversity in #urban #ponds. 🦆🐸🪷Scan the QR-code or click the link ( forms.gle/tBV4zunkfYEp... ) to participate in our survey. Thank you 😊

The beauty of coral reefs is key to their survival – so we came up with a way to measure it Researchers found that photos of restored reefs were rated just as beautiful as those of healthy reefs.

How can beauty be measured? Find out how a team of marine scientists have devised a way to measure the beauty of coral reefs in order to aid restoration and sustainable tourism practices in this new article, co-authored by Dr Tim Lamont of @lec-reefs.bsky.social for @uk.theconversation.com 👇

📢Abstract call for the 13th MASTS Annual Science Meeting - NOW OPEN. Abstracts for talks and e-posters are now invited for our general science sessions or one of our five special sessions, and are open to everyone.

Open position for PhD student / Postdoc in biogeochemistry For a fully funded four-year project exploring environmental and ecological dynamics in the Mediterranean and Red Sea, we seek a top tier PhD student or postdoc. The project aims to understand the formation and persistence of biodiversity hotspots, especially in light of global climate change and local stressors. The ultimate goal is to gather insights across different organizational levels, from molecular, organismal, and community to habitat structure and biogeochemical pathways, in order to construct comprehensive models that forecast the future dynamics and fate of these ecosystems under changing conditions. This position would be focused on a key aspect of this project – the variability of seafloor fluxes and their interaction with the microbial community to facilitate the habitability of shallow (up to 40 m) and mesophotic (up to 200 m) biodiversity hotspots such as reefs. Interested candidates, please contact by email Dr. Or Bialik (obialik@ocean.org.il) or Prof. Eyal Rahav (eyal.rahav@ocean.org.il) with a letter of motivation, CV, and contact details of at least one referee for this post not later than the 28th of August 2025.

I have a fully funded open #position for a PhD student/postdoc in marine #biogeochemistry. As part of the MARBEDS project, we are seeking someone to study seafloor fluxes and their interactions with microbial communities in biodiversity hotspots.
