🌊 The ocean was record hot in 2023, but surprisingly, the global carbon sink weakened.
A new study from our group unpacks why.
Check out the details in @jens-d-mueller.bsky.social ’s tweet 👇 and read the full study here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Tiny particles of pollution spewed into the atmosphere across Asia can affect climate as far away as Antarctica

Climate change will increasingly impact the ocean around Antarctica, and the life within it, as it progresses.
Read the new paper by the excellent Ben Fisher and colleagues on how this will happen, what are the implications, and how we can improve our ability to predict the key changes.

Ocean Acidification is reshaping life and biogeochemical cycles.
In our latest study, Niki Gruber and I reconstructed its progression in the global ocean interior over the industrial era, based on our previous estimates of anthropogenic carbon accumulation.

perfect! :)
Yes! Thank you!
Thank you so much for these starter packs! Could you please add our research group account @upgroup.bsky.social to these? We are doing ocean science at ETH Zürich, with a wide array of topics from ecology to biogeochemistry and physics.
Coffee 🤝 Science
Thanks for the nice introduction! :)
Ok, I’m loving the starter packs! This one is for women (inclusively defined) in Ocean Science.
You need more ocean 🌊 in your feed! Follow these folks.
If you would like to be added please just let me know 👋 … if I forgot you, please don’t be offended, it was an accident! go.bsky.app/7MdiLgo
Great! Thank you for doing that! Could I be added as well please? :)

“The impact of rain on air-sea CO₂ fluxes hasn’t been systematically examined, but understanding it gives us a more complete picture…This is especially important since rainfall patterns over the ocean are expected to shift with climate change, and that could impact the ocean carbon sink.” 🌊🧪
