CO2 X warming treatment in a tide pool. Black boxes on the high ledge hold batteries & circuit boards, with tubes leading to heating elements in the pool. The smaller black box generates CO2, which bubbles into the pool.

Just out in @jexpbiol.bsky.social: Great work by @racinerangel.bsky.social documenting effects of a 6-month factorial field manipulation of warming X CO2 on intertidal mussel shell thickness, strength, & corrosion. #SitkaNSF @cascadejbs.bsky.social journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...

As scientists warn that #AMOC may slow/collapse, experts are trying to improve research on this critical ocean conveyor system
We need:
- Better measurements
- Global cooperation
- Sustained funding
- New tech for real-time data

AMOC research=climate security. Let's keep it going! 🌍💙

Hi Anaëlle…not officially no. We screen printed 40 of them and didn’t realise they would be so popular. However we still have the screen and can talk with the artist who designed the logo (Anna Vlaminck) at the poster session tomorrow evening and see what’s feasible.

Thank you Rodney 😊 a moment with a Eurovision feel to it 🎤🇪🇺 @ifremer.bsky.social
