New in JGR: Oceans: Mechanistic Links Between Climatic Forcing and Model-Based Plankton Dynamics in the Strait of Georgia, Canada by Suchy et al. 2025
Suchy et al. used a 3D physical and biological model of the #SalishSea to determine the ocean processes linking large-scale climate patterns to variations in #plankton.🌊

A screenshot of a text conversation discussing chaotic and troubling conditions at NOAA, expressing concerns about the administration's lack of care and the need for legislative attention.
My friend from the NOAA lab that brings you the Keeling Curve wants that world to know that things are horrible inside NOAA.
DC PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT THE OCEANS & CLIMATE
Tomorrow @vanhollen.senate.gov & the #Chesapeake Climate Action Network are holding a press conference/rally in defense of #NOAA, outside the Department of Commerce.
Tuesday, Feb 11, 2pm. 350 14th St NW. 🧪🌊🦑

Ice fishing shacks on frozen Lake Winnipeg with a bright blue sky in the background
Cute little ice fishing village on Lake Winnipeg. Winter is my favourite season here.
Oh wow! Things are happening so quickly now that we have decently cold temperatures.
Lake Winnipeg looking stunningly peaceful as the annual freeze up begins.

It makes my heart happy to connect with so many ocean scientists, limnologists, and plankton ecologists on here! How exciting. I’m struggling to keep up with the notifications, but I’m looking forward to following everyone’s work. 🔬🌊
Very cool! ✨
Calling all plankton lovers… we have started a Journal of Plankton Research (Oxford U Press) account. Follow: @jourplanktonres.bsky.social
Thank you for this! Would love to be added. 🙋🏻♀️
A volcanic eruption started this evening in Iceland, close to Grindavík and The Blue Lagoon. It's the 10th eruption in about 3 years. There is a link at a live video below.
P.S. there is no immediate danger - people have been evacuated and everything is under control.
Help me organise a starter pack of plankton ecologists 🧪

This is wonderful! Would love to join. 🙋🏻♀️
This is a photo of Elysia chlorotica, one of the photosynthetic sea slugs that I study. It is also sometimes known as the emerald sea slug. #Invertebrate #sluglife
Reintroduction post:
Hello! I am an invertebrate zoologist in Florida studying photosymbiosis, natural history, and ecology in sea slugs. I teach courses in Invertebrate Zoology and Coral Reefs at UTampa. I'm really into scuba diving, live music, and general mischief.

You really built up a special community over there, Heather! But I already see you doing the same here and elsewhere. ✨

When I’m not science-ing I’m usually hanging out in my backyard staring at the sky. #aurora

I’m so old I had to google “moots”. Looking forward to your book reviews!
I’m baaack! Finally left that other place. Looking to connect with more #science folks, aurora enthusiasts, fellow Manitobans, and book lovers. 👀👋🏼
Two trees. One with autumn colours and one covered in snow.
Two seasons in one photo. October in #Manitoba.
Starting fresh is nice, but how do I find the oceanographers on here? 🌊
