Sad to learn from a round mail that UC Davis' stable isotope facility (SIF) is shutting down. This place and its excellent staff have been of incredible service to biogeoscience and ecology around the globe, making isotope analysis accessible and affordable. This is a bummer. 🌊🦑🧪
I'm proposing a special issue on mCDR across AGU journals. If you expect to have a suitable manuscript ready by Mar-27, please DM me the title, author list, and target AGU journal. I'm also looking for colleagues interested in serving as co-organizers—let me know if you'd like to be involved.
🚨 Protections have been rolled back across three Pacific Marine National Monuments, reopening previously protected waters to industrial fishing. These areas support biodiversity, ecosystem resilience, and culturally significant seascapes. #ProtectOurOcean
In the latest play from Project 2025, the Trump Administration has announced plans to dismantle the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI), a $368 million network of more than 900 instruments that continuously monitor the ocean. This is a deliberate destruction of critical scientific infrastructure.
Die Bundesregierung will geheimhalten, wo sie neue fossile Infrastruktur in Deutschland plant. Wir schaffen Transparenz und zeigen, wo neue Kraftwerke, Bohrungen, Pipelines und Flüssiggas-Terminals entstehen sollen – und wie ihr dagegen aktiv werden könnt: fragdenstaat.de/aktionen/cli...

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
Forty years ago, Californians stopped an ill-conceived federal plan to open our coast to offshore oil and gas drilling. In the decades since, we’ve taken remarkable steps to safeguard our coastal waters. Now the Trump administration is pushing to undo all we’ve accomplished. bit.ly/3Lo2hWp
Trump’s plan to open California’s coastline to oil drilling threatens more than ocean life
OPINION: The Trump administration plans to open the length of California’s coast to offshore oil and gas development, regardless of the law and the consequences.
