🌊 In 2023, the ocean carbon sink weakened for the first time in a record-hot year 🌡️🌎 Our new study in Nature Climate Change quantifies this unexpected decline and explains how it came about. 👇 doi.org/10.1038/s415...

⚠️ We're hiring! Two new #PhD positions are now opened in our group @ethz.ch, focusing on key biogeochemical essential ocean observables 🤓 Learn more about these opportunities ⤵️ and spread the news 🌊 #OceanScience #ETH #AcademicJobs #PhDlife

When your data is giving you love. ❤️ Plot by Alexandre Schickele. 🌊 #OceanScience #DataViz

🌊Research is also about story-telling. Yesterday we turned the offices into a movie set 🎬 Final result in a few weeks, stay tuned! 👀

Big smiles, high ropes, and a great send-off! We celebrated @jens-d-mueller.bsky.social's time in our group with a day in the treetops at Seilpark. 🌲💪 #MarineScientistsGoHigh #Farewell #TeamOuting

🌊Have you always dreamed of a standardized, highly automated and flexible framework to integrate and analyse heterogeneous marine data for multi-species habitat modelling? 🤓 Let us introduce CEPHALOPOD, a collaborative effort led by Dr Alexandre Schickele ⤵️ #MarineEcology #OceanScience

CEPHALOPOD, a package to standardize marine habitat‐modelling practices and enhance inter‐comparability across biological observations

As the volume of accessible marine pelagic observations increases exponentially, incorporating diverse data types such as metagenomics and quantitative imaging, the need for standardized modelling...

🌡️ 2023 sea surface temperatures reached record highs — but what does that mean for the #ocean’s #carbon uptake?🌊 At #EGU25 today, Dr. Jens Müller (@jens-d-mueller.bsky.social) is sharing his insight on this critical question in a 20-min presentation 📍 Room C 📅 11:35 Don't miss out! #ClimateChange

🌊 A new SNSF Ambizione project lead by Dr Sarah Paradis has started in our group—diving into the multifaceted question of organic carbon storage in marine sediments. Curious? Learn more: ⤵️ up.ethz.ch/news-and-eve...

🌊N₂O has a warming potential ~300 times greater than CO₂. To better understand its dynamics in the Pacific Ocean, @janahaerri.bsky.social collected water samples that are now traveling the world, soon reaching Switzerland for analysis. Learn more about their journey and the project⤵️ lnkd.in/eqynuP6A

🌊 Meet the new students joining our group! 🤓 Their work will contribute to ongoing studies on gelatinous zooplankton distribution, N2O emissions, sea-ice driven freshwater fluxes and so much more. Wishing them all a successful & rewarding journey!💡 #NextGenScientists #OceanResearch

🌊 Just published! A new study led by Dr. Fabio Benedetti explores the relationships between the functional diversity of copepods and key marine processes such plankton biomass production and sinking 🌎 Read more ⤵️ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... @globalchangebio.bsky.social

Me and the @upgroup.bsky.social get excited about those gap winds ⤵️, because we're studying their impact on marine N2O emission. 🌊 If you're invited to give a talk in our group and show data from the Pacific, be prepared for questions about the impact of gap winds on whatever you study! 🤓

Aaron O'Dea@odealab.bsky.social · 2y ago

Feeling like a dry season in Panama ☀️ because the ITCZ is sitting south, drawing winds across the isthmus and generating a wind jets. While not strong enough to cause upwelling in the Gulf of Panama, upwelling is noticeable in Santa Elena (Costa Rica), and Gulf of Tehuantepec(Mexico)
