Thanks to our lovely host Mercedes Villalba MSP, and @gillianamartin.bsky.social Cab Sec. Great to speak with politicians who really value science to inform their decisions! @mastscot.bsky.social Scottish marine science has a long and proud history and it was a privilege to hear about it from you.

Calling ocean lovers, budding biologists, tech enthusiasts and nosy locals! We have your Sunday sorted! In celebration of #WorldOceansDay you're invited on site to learn more about the ocean through our live talks, technology demos, interactive displays and activities. We'd lobster see ya there🦞

Yesterday we hosted govt stakeholders, industry leaders and friends of NOC at the House of Commons for our One Ocean networking. Thanks to @barrygardiner.bsky.social MP for sponsoring the event, and to Tristan Osborne MP and CEO @johsid.bsky.social for inspiring guests about future collaborations.

Our CEO Dr @johsid.bsky.social gives insight into the premiere of David Attenborough’s Ocean at Royal Festival Hall last night, where ocean science took centre stage! 🌊 #OceanFilm Read more: noc.ac.uk/news/ocean-s...

As Liverpool win the Premier League for the second time, they complete the opening of a quite remarkable sequence, 33 years in the making. #Fibonacci

🌊 Day 1 of the #ScienceToImpact challenge kicks off! We're teaming up with @royalcollegeofart.bsky.social to turn complex ocean science into real-world impact. 25 design students + 10 scientists = 1 big mission. Results unveiled May 15! #OceanScience #Innovation #MarineResearch #DesignThinking

It was great to hear more about the government’s plans for English devolution. At @noc.ac.uk we are acting locally in providing exciting opportunities that are of national and international significance. Devolution could unlock even more of that potential for Southampton and wider region.

"Although we saw some areas with little or no recovery, some animal groups were showing the first signs of recolonisation and repopulation." 🐙 New study reveals long-term impacts of #DeepSeaMining and first signs of biological recovery ➡️ noc.ac.uk/news/new-stu...

Autosub Long Range, better known as #BoatyMcBoatface, has helped to recover a 55 year old camera in Loch Ness! 📷 Despite film from the camera being developed by a NOC engineer, no footage of the Loch Ness Monster was found. Find out more 👉 noc.ac.uk/news/noc-oce...

"To tackle the question of recovery from #DeepSeaMining, we need first to look to the past and use old mining tests to help understand long-term impacts." 🥽 New study reveals long-term impacts of #DeepSeaMining and first signs of biological recovery ➡️ noc.ac.uk/news/new-stu...

I must have must fun job in the world. Turn up for work and end up in the midst of a #Lego challenge. Awesome work by the students. The future is bright.

It’s important for good governance of the marine environment that independent guidance from Science organisations like @noc.ac.uk is incorporated. Great to have the Environment Audit visit!

🌊 Today in @nature.com: Is the AMOC on the brink of collapse? Unlikely before 2100—but the risks are real 🚨 We find Southern Ocean winds keep this vital ocean "heat engine" running, even under extreme #climatechange. But the Pacific holds a surprise… tinyurl.com/yt6u4e7d Let’s explore 🧪👇

Imagine the moment when someone said - you know what, why don’t we stick sensors in orbit around the earth to measure our environment. And satellite remote sensing was born. Could this be as transformational? An exciting prospect.

NOC was delighted to host a marine research roundtable onboard #RRSDiscovery, organised by the British Embassy in Lisbon. 👥 The roundtable helped further the dialogue between UK and Portuguese researchers to explore future collaborations and to discuss the UN Ocean Decade.

🌊 I forget the #ocean #wave - unforgivable for this post particulary!!

25 years ago our #ocean researchers on the #Discovery measured what is still the biggest wave directly recorded.

🌊 Excellent that parliamentarians are taking the #Ocean and the critical role of data seriously. Ultimately sustainable ocean observations are so important and having them must be, as they say, in our national data objectives.

Sir David Attenborough says it so eloquently. The biggest threat to security and prosperity is the challenge of a changing climate. We need to make sure that message is heard by everyone.

NOC were delighted to take part in the recent meeting of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for the Ocean regarding the UK Small Island Developing States (SIDS) Strategy. Read more on LinkedIn ➡️ www.linkedin.com/pulse/noc-re...

@davidho.bsky.social could you add me to the oceanography feed please. 🌊

Being an RSE isnt always just sitting at your desk. This week I aided in the deployment of the RAPID 26N WB2 sensor mooring for monitoring the change in the AMOC by optimising the tools used to verify and log the sensors going on to the mooring, all whilst aboard RRS Discovery.

If we are going to respond to the challenges of climate and biodiversity loss 🌊 #ocean #science cannot just be for the privileged few. Thanks WestP&I for supporting widening access to research.

🌊 The Marine Heatwave Research Focus is a working group of WCRP-CLIVAR, chaired by Antonietta Capotondi and me. We just published this review paper, and many open questions remain about their vertical structure, prediction and projections… rdcu.be/d2Xh0

Ok 🌊 🧪 community. Sort of newbie here. I would like to a) remember to use the wave and test tube icons/emojis/thingummys and b) learn how to include them without deleting my draft post, searching for someone else’s post copying and then pasting. I feel incompetent. And I don’t like it. Help.

🌊 marine heatwaves may sound strange, and who cares if water heats up a little bit? Well we all should. Everything from the weather we encounter (goodbye Storm #Darragh and good riddance) to marine ecosystems are sensitive to small changes in ocean temperatures. So we really should care.

🌊

Lots going on at @nocnews.bsky.social and plenty of great opportunities to contribute. All AMAZING of course. The Future Marine Research Infrastructure programme #FMRI could be a game changer for ocean science. Novel, world-leading and impactful in a way few things are. Sounds good right?

The climate stripes have been, as far as I can tell, a major step in climate science comms. They have got real traction in the science community and I think they have broken through to the public too. Here are the stripes from Southampton, how of @nocnews.bsky.social

Been here on BlueSky since when you still needed a referral without posting. The energy here now means it feels like now’s the time to start engaging. So I’m here for the ocean science 🌊🧪 and whatever else interesting people want to talk about. Hoping no tin hats or thick skin needed!

#WindEnergy is a key pillar in the UK Government’s decarbonisation targets, and one of the biggest challenges is how this can be done sustainably. Find out how the ECOWind and ECOFlow projects are helping on #OceanHorizons 📝 blogs.noc.ac.uk/ocean-horizo...

Repost this if you’re old enough to remember when they tried to convince us that “global warming stopped in 2008” (or whenever).
