‘Profound impacts’: record ocean heat is intensifying #climate disasters, data shows Oceans absorb 90% of global heating, making them a stark indicator of the relentless march of the climate crisis www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Video message from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KckG... www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/s...

The additional greenhouse gases in the atmosphere now cause about 33 Hiroshima bombs per second of additional heat to be radiated back down to Earth. The Earth's Energy Imbalance is now ~10 Hiroshimas per second. But who's counting. bsky.app/profile/leon...

🚨 New publication!! 🚨 Read the review paper by Lydia White & @alfnorkko.bsky.social, on how to experimentally assess carbon sequestration potential of macroalgae. doi.org/10.1111/1365...

This review clearly shows that macroalgal decomposition rates vary significantly between experimental approaches and are severely underestimated when a refractory pool is not considered, impacting scaled-up estimates of macroalgal carbon export to the deep ocean 🌊🌱

Check out our new review paper, championed by Lydia White, "A path towards appropriate degradation experiments for assessing carbon sequestration potential of macroalgae". Read it here: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... @coastclim.bsky.social @tvarminne.bsky.social #mCDR

Southern Ocean circulation reversal may have already happened. This is a surprise and scary stuff. theconversation.com/completely-u...

New paper championed by Rebecca Gladstone-Gallagher et al for kids (with kids as reviewers) on the importance of connecting across ecosystems and human values @tvarminne.bsky.social @helsinki.fi @aucklanduni.bsky.social @coastclim.bsky.social kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10....

Ekologisk hållbarhet är en förutsättning för både ekonomiska och sociala värden – och måste sättas främst också i det kortsiktiga beslutsfattandet. Läs uppmaningen från @alfnorkko.bsky.social & Christoph Humborg @coastclim.bsky.social i @hbl.fi, med anledning av den pågående havskonferensen.

Det är dags för Finland och Sverige att ta FNs havskonferens på allvar! @tvarminne.bsky.social @ostersjocentrum.bsky.social @coastclim.bsky.social @balticseacentre.bsky.social @helsinki.fi www.hbl.fi/2025-06-07/f...

New paper: Marine biodiversity is declining across Finnish coastal waters, with loss driven by eutrophication, climate change & seabed disturbance. Urgent action, better monitoring & bridging knowledge gaps are key to ecosystem recovery. #Biodiversity #BalticSea link.springer.com/article/10.1...

🚨 NEW paper alert! #Seagrass #functional #traits act as predictors of #biomass, albeit moderately. Study conducted across 1500 km coastline. Main #biodiversity mechanism driving seagrass #biomass stock is through dominance. @tvarminne.bsky.social @uwaoceans.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/1365...

It's gettin hot in here...

Check out our new paper on experimental manipulations in situ of #marine #heatwaves championed by @aquanorman.bsky.social ‬& Laura Kauppi @joannanorkko.bsky.social @coastclim.bsky.social @tvarminne.bsky.social @helsinki.fi

Are the Oceans Reaching Their Limit? Join the Discussion at #ACCCImpactWeek on April 22. Top researchers from CoastClim participate @alfnorkko.bsky.social and Anna Villnäs. Register by April 9, the event is free of charge.

Check out this BBC story, covering our first Polar scientific diving course run by Edd Stockdale at the Finnish Scientific Diving Academy in 2024, building capacity for collecting data to understand rapid changes in polar regions. @tvarminne.bsky.social @helsinki.fi www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Read a news article written by our New Zealand collaborator Prof. Simon Thrush. He writes about the importance of the findings from the joint CoastClim- @aucklanduni.bsky.social field campaign that was conducted earlier this year.

How often do we explore temporal context dependece in ecological pattern and process? Not nearly enough! Coastal ecosystem functions depend on biodiversity—but temporal context shapes how benthic species influence solute fluxes, with effects varying by season, species & site. Timing is key!

Finally in my hands! Graduated with distinction!🎓🌊🎉 Huge thanks to @dansmale1.bsky.social for an engaging defense discussion, my supervisors J. Norkko and @alfnorkko.bsky.social, and colleagues and supporters NottbeckFdn @coastclim.bsky.social RothFinland. Link to thesis: hdl.handle.net/10138/587464

Looking for a PhD student to join us - focusing on quantifying GHG across coastal seascapes. Please help spread the word!

📢 3-year Postdoc Opportunity ❗❗ #FoodWebs I am seeking a postdoc to reconstruct energy fluxes in food webs using gut DNA and eDNA in mesocosms under heatwave scenarios @tvarminne.bsky.social @coastclim.bsky.social 📅 31. of Jan. 2025 ➡️ jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Hanko-3-... Please share post ❗❗

Oooh. This looks very interesting and cool site... (ping @alfnorkko.bsky.social )

Check out our latest CoastClim newsletter!

Our PhD student, Norman Göbeler, working on marine heatwaves defends his thesis tomorrow with Dan Smale as external examiner. The public examination can be followed online👇

Feeling inspired at the biannual CoastClim meeting in Stockholm, Sweden. So much good science coming out from this Swedish-Finnish consortium! With @alfnorkko.bsky.social, @cmgustafsson.bsky.social, etc.

New paper by Charlotte Angove as lead showing that #infauna can shift plant trait-productivity relationships in #SAV @alfnorkko.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

At beautiful #Askö laboratory @balticseacentre for a kick-off of a new transdisciplinary @coastclim research school at @Stockholm_Uni. Excitement in the air when more than a dozen new PhD students start their journey!

New paper by Roel Lammerant and co-authors shows that #macrophyte C stocks (e.g. #carbohydrates) are shaped by seasonality & #biodiversity. Seasonal variation in C dynamics important to assess #CarbonSink potential of vegetated seascapes! @alfnorkko.bsky.social tinyurl.com/3ptcxstv
