#OSM26 So Long, and Thanks for All the Talks! Green Seas Lab is delighted to announce that we had a great Ocean Science meeting were we got to present our work both via a talk, posters and an eLightning presentation. If want to follow our work: elgetti.wordpress.com #seagrass #GHG #microsensors

#OSM26 Today GSL will present 2 posters on greenhouse gas dynamics of living and dead seagrass with special focus on the effect of coastal eutrophication. CB24D: Multistressor Impacts on coastal vegetation & GHG dynamics Posters: 702 & 704 Link to Green Seas Lab (GSL): elgetti.wordpress.com

#OSM26 Nice talk by GSL postdoc Alice Malcolm-McKay at the Ocean Science Meeting in Glasgow. Alice talked about seasonal GHG fluxes (CO2 & CH4) and associated microbial communities from intertidal seagrass in the UK Follow our work in Green Seas Lab: elgetti.wordpress.com @roskildeuni.bsky.social

#OSM26 Green Seas Lab will have several presentations at the Ocean Science Meeting this week in Glasgow. All related to greenhouse gas dynamics in seagrass meadows ⬇️ Link to Green Seas Lab: elgetti.wordpress.com @villumfonden.bsky.social @roskildeuni.bsky.social #seagrass #greenseaslab #GHG

An underwater comeback is underway. Around the world, restoration projects are rewilding seagrass meadows—one of our greatest natural carbon stores. Here’s how ⬇️🌿🌱 #WorldRewildingDay

📢🌿 New Paper Alert! In our latest study at @ccmar.bsky.social, we mapped #seagrass meadows across the #Algarve using a combination of systematic review, manual mapping, and machine learning techniques. Our findings reveal (text below):

Så blev det Danmarks Country Overshoot Day 2025, og fra og med idag har vores lille grønne foregangsland brugt så mange naturressourcer, at alt vi forbruger fra nu af, er lig med et overtræk på naturkontoen. Godt, og heldigvis, at langt de fleste andre lande forbruger mindre end os.
