ICYMI: I did some #ocean 🌊 #science 🧪 vlogs from the #RAPID expedition to study the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. The #AMOC keeps northern European climate temperate so understanding how it may change should be something we all care about. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Yesterday was day 4 of our #RAPID expedition and we have been making fantastic progress recovering #AMOC moorings. And I got to see a HUGE pod of dolphins. Heaven! Every day is a school day – particularly for me - #Ocean #Science #ModellersAtSea www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIVx... 🌎 🌊

Thanks to our lovely host Mercedes Villalba MSP, and @gillianamartin.bsky.social Cab Sec. Great to speak with politicians who really value science to inform their decisions! @mastscot.bsky.social Scottish marine science has a long and proud history and it was a privilege to hear about it from you.
National Oceanography Centre@noc.ac.uk · last yr.We were delighted to host parliamentarians, industry leaders & friends of NOC at our ‘Ocean & Marine Research’ event this week with @mastscot - inspiring discussions on Scotland’s marine science future. Thanks to all who joined us, see you in Dundee for our #RRS100 celebrations!
Calling ocean lovers, budding biologists, tech enthusiasts and nosy locals! We have your Sunday sorted! In celebration of #WorldOceansDay you're invited on site to learn more about the ocean through our live talks, technology demos, interactive displays and activities. We'd lobster see ya there🦞

🌊 Day 1 of the #ScienceToImpact challenge kicks off! We're teaming up with @royalcollegeofart.bsky.social to turn complex ocean science into real-world impact. 25 design students + 10 scientists = 1 big mission. Results unveiled May 15! #OceanScience #Innovation #MarineResearch #DesignThinking
It was great to hear more about the government’s plans for English devolution. At @noc.ac.uk we are acting locally in providing exciting opportunities that are of national and international significance. Devolution could unlock even more of that potential for Southampton and wider region.
National Oceanography Centre@noc.ac.uk · last yr.NOC welcomed @jimmcmahon.co.uk, Minister of State for Local Government and English Devolution in the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government as part of a visit to Southampton to discuss the Government's devolution plans in the area.

I must have must fun job in the world. Turn up for work and end up in the midst of a #Lego challenge. Awesome work by the students. The future is bright.
Alice Marzocchi@alicemarzocchi.bsky.social · 2y agoReally fun to help out with the first #LEGO League Challenge today @noc.ac.uk and talk about careers in marine science. Some really impressive work by all the Southampton schools who participated…they even coded in python!! Pictured are also @johsid.bsky.social and @filipa-carvalho.bsky.social #STEM
It’s important for good governance of the marine environment that independent guidance from Science organisations like @noc.ac.uk is incorporated. Great to have the Environment Audit visit!
National Oceanography Centre@noc.ac.uk · 2y agoWe were delighted to welcome the @houseofcommons.parliament.uk Environmental Audit Committee to our Southampton site last week, as part of their ongoing inquiry into Governing the Marine Environment.

🌊 Today in @nature.com: Is the AMOC on the brink of collapse? Unlikely before 2100—but the risks are real 🚨 We find Southern Ocean winds keep this vital ocean "heat engine" running, even under extreme #climatechange. But the Pacific holds a surprise… tinyurl.com/yt6u4e7d Let’s explore 🧪👇
Imagine the moment when someone said - you know what, why don’t we stick sensors in orbit around the earth to measure our environment. And satellite remote sensing was born. Could this be as transformational? An exciting prospect.

NOC was delighted to host a marine research roundtable onboard #RRSDiscovery, organised by the British Embassy in Lisbon. 👥 The roundtable helped further the dialogue between UK and Portuguese researchers to explore future collaborations and to discuss the UN Ocean Decade.
25 years ago our #ocean researchers on the #Discovery measured what is still the biggest wave directly recorded.

Sir David Attenborough says it so eloquently. The biggest threat to security and prosperity is the challenge of a changing climate. We need to make sure that message is heard by everyone.
Matthew Todd@matthewtodd.bsky.social · 2y agoThe devastation on its way is unimaginable - like nothing humanity has ever witnessed before - and everyone will wish they had been climate activists and ‘hysterics’ when they had the chance. We are in a moment of unprecedented stupidity
