🌊The sailing season opened with an expedition to the Gulf of Finland and the Gulf of Bothnia 🧪Water column particle profiling, sediment coring, resuspension experiments and finally the deployment of a benthic lander Thanks PHYTOTRANS project, @spilling.bsky.social @eeroasmala.bsky.social and others!

📣Seminar: Particle Dynamics in Coastal Marine Environments 28 Oct 2025, Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) 🌊Join us for a full-day seminar exploring the role of particle dynamics in coastal environments 🧪Registration and abstract deadline 30 July 2025 Register here: forms.office.com/e/D0t9pex0PX

Happy to share our new paper in Biogeochemistry! We show that CDOM changes at low salinities due to flocculation, potentially making it a less reliable tracer in estuaries. We also introduce a new fluorescence metric: the red shift ratio. 🔗 link.springer.com/article/10.1... @closburn.bsky.social

Optical transformation of riverine colored dissolved organic matter during salt-induced flocculation - Biogeochemistry

Flocculation of riverine dissolved organic matter (DOM) in estuaries is crucial for transforming and removing terrestrial carbon inputs across the land-to-ocean aquatic continuum. We measured variatio...

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. @gtk-fi.bsky.social @finmari-ri.bsky.social @syke.fi @spilling.bsky.social

To all academics who have made the move from the toxic #Twitterx to the safer waters of #Bluesky - maybe now is the time to encourage your Lab/Department/Faculties/University/College/Research Institute/ Group/ Programme to make the same move? @academic-chatter.bsky.social @thephdplace.bsky.social

Good to see UK universities beginning an exodus from Twitterx www.reuters.com/world/uk/uk-...
