Something was strange with the oxygen data. I had a closer look at the sensor and found a barnacle attached to the tip. How much does a #barnacle respire?

FINMARI benthic lander being deployed.

The #Finmari benthic lander was successfully deployed today. It will measure near-bottom flow, particle and nutrient dynamics for the next 6 weeks in the RCF #PHYTOTRANS project.

Picophytoplankton act as the primary consumers of excess phosphorus after the spring bloom in the eutrophic Baltic Sea Eutrophication in the Baltic Sea has caused an imbalance in the inorganic nitrogen (N) to phosphorus (P) ratio, leaving excess phosphate (PO4) after the phytoplankton spring bloom that terminates aft...

New paper. We show that the phosphate pool is still increasing in the Gulf of Finland and picophytoplankton, seem to play an important role in its uptake. This is opposed the the more traditional view of filamentous cyanobacteria doing this.

Particle fluxes by subtropical pelagic communities under ocean alkalinity enhancement Abstract. Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) has been proposed as a carbon dioxide removal technology (CDR), allowing for long-term storage of carbon dioxide in the ocean. By changing the carbonate sp...
