This is deeply disappointing from Starmer. The UK *helped design* this 'TFFF' fund, designed to stop deforestation, and supposedly 'continues to back the fund' (in theory). But now isn't putting any money into it 🤯 How embarrassing for the UK. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Anyone I know on here live in Hamburg? Join me at the International Maritime Museum in Hamburg on November 26, 6:30 pm, where I'll reading from my book THE DEEPEST MAP, recently translated into German by Mare Verlag. The talk is in English and free to attend. www.imm-hamburg.de/veranstaltun...

Gave my first talk about The Deepest Map in my new home town in Germany yesterday. (In English, natch. I'm working up to German still.)

This is such stupid reactionary politicking against a carbon tax that 80% of shipping industry already supports, from the @wsj.com Editorial Board. www.wsj.com/opinion/unit...

A new study indicates that deep-sea mining could threaten at least 30 species of sharks, rays and chimaeras, many of which are already at risk of extinction.

It's not every week you get to peruse the Stanford archives and rub shoulders with smart, friendly, funny people who also love maps. HUGE thanks to the team at the David Rumsey Map Center for inviting me to 5th Annual Barry Lawrence Ruderman Cartography Conference to talk about my work.

The orange roughy can live 150+ years but doesn’t reproduce until it’s at least 20 years old. These deep-sea fish form dense schools on seamounts to spawn, making them easy targets for bottom trawling. Their story shows why precaution and protection are essential in the deep ocean. #DeepSeaWonders

Mother to my longest friend Danielle, Elaine Dewar was an inspiration to me growing up. A science journalist, loving wife and mother, as well as a fierce no-shits-will-be-given woman way ahead of her time. RIP. thecjn.ca/news/obituar...

Headed to San Francisco! Catch me next week at Barry Lawrence Ruderman Conference on Cartography, hosted by Stanford's David Rumsey Map Archive. I'm talking about seafloor maps + how we visualize a place most will never visit. Pretty much a dream work trip. 😍 ruderman.sites.stanford.edu/speakers

Some good ocean news, fellow Earthlings!

My book is now available in Germany 🇩🇪 It's titled "Bis zum Grund der Welt" which translates as "To the Bottom of the World," but my German teacher says this phrase has an additional meaning of getting to the bottom of something big, which I love! Order here: www.mare.de/crew/laura-t...

I am SO late to posting this, but THE DEEPEST MAP is now available in Taiwan (Complex Chinese). Huge thanks to Spark Press for doing such a stellar job. Love the nautical touches throughout....

My book is coming out in German just as I've relocated to Germany! Here's the first German-language article about the pubc in Deutsche Welle. Thank you to Alexander Freund for the coverage lnkd.in/gub2iqTQ

Wow, hi! I'm back from maternity leave and it's weird to sit at my desk again. On the hunt for story leads (ocean, environment, science) + work (freelance writing/teaching) in Germany/Scandinavia, where I relocated during mat leave. Please reach out! [email protected]

Just 2 weeks left to apply for Sitka Foundation/Science Media Centre's Messengers of Biodiversity Grant! Got it last year and cannot recommend it more highly to the #sciencejournalists out there: www.messengersofbiodiversity.org

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

"With the next meeting for the International Seabed Authority ...hopes that Canada takes a stand..." Fingers crossed. Author/researcher @laura-trethewey.bsky.social was the first to make me aware of this. The Fight Over Seabed Mining Comes to Vancouver via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2025/07...

For #womenshistorymonth, join my virtual talk for @whoi.edu on my book THE DEEPEST MAP and the hidden history of women in ocean mapping! Tuesday March 25th 10 am EST Carriage House on WHOI Campus Zoom: whoi-edu.zoom.us/j/9793988822...
