🚨 New publication!! 🚨 Roel Lammerant & Jenna Hölttä et al. show how environmental gradients affect functional structure and carbon storage of aquatic plant meadows. doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.70327 @roellammerant.bsky.social @jennaholtta.bsky.social @cmgustafsson.bsky.social @alfnorkko.bsky.social

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

Jeij! So cool to see our work featured on the cover of the August issue of Functional Ecology - A Special Issue on Marine Heatwaves.

Emissions from marine plants and algae (BVOCs) play a significant role in the global carbon cycle and for the climate. How do the emissions on the Atlantic coast compare to emissions in the Baltic Sea? 👉 Read the CoastClim newsletter for more info! #coastalecosystems #climatechange #research

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 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...

Anna Vesanen on ammattisukeltaja ja vuoden alusta Tvärminnen eläintieteellisen aseman sukellusvastaava. Merentutkijoiden kenttäkausi on vilkkaimmillaan huhtikuusta lokakuulle, ja silloin myös vierailevia sukeltajia on eniten asemalla. Lue sukellusvastaavan terveiset! 👇 #scientificdiving #tzs

Kiitos @bsag.fi vierailustanne Tvärminnen eläintieteellisellä asemalla! Nuorten tutkijoiden tekemän merentutkimuksen tuominen esille suuren yleisön tietoisuuteen on tärkeä asia! 🫶 #wearehelsinkiuni #oceanliteracy #balticsea

NEW PhD thesis! Roel Lammerant will defend the doctoral dissertation entitled "Functional perspective on the role of macrophytes in the coastal carbon cycle across different temporal and spatial scales" on Friday 4.4 at 13:00 at Tvärminne Zoological Station. Stream: helsinki.zoom.us/j/68659327422

Are the Oceans Reaching Their Limit? Join the Discussion at #ACCCImpactWeek on April 22 with our marine researchers @alfnorkko.bsky.social and Anna Villnäs participating. Register by April 9, this event is free of charge. #climatechange #coastalecosystems #sciencematters

👉 Save the date! Itämeriluentoja 19.3. klo 16.30-17.30: "Östersjöns ekosystem i snabb förändring”, professori Alf Norkko, TZS “Itämeren mikromuoveista“, tutkimusprofessori Maiju Lehtiniemi, SYKE Järjestäjä: Societas. Paikka: Tiedekulma Think Lounge. helsinginyliopisto.etapahtuma.fi/Kalenteri/Su...

Happy to share this article about our science and polar diving published on bbc.com! BBC reporter Erika Benke visited Finnish Scientific Diving Academy - FSDA during the polar diving program in Kilpisjärvi. #polardiving #scienceundertheice #wearehelsinkiuni

At the core of marine research - FINMARI Researcher Day - with many researchers from Tvärminne attending! A day filled with new knowledge about the ecological state, the effects of climate change, the green transition, and other current topics relevant to marine research in the Baltic Sea.

Tv-vinkki! Tänään 25.2. klo 18.30 YLE Fem tai Yle Areena. Dokumentti "Havsforskarna-Merentutkijat" kertoo tutkijapariskunnan Alf ja Joanna Norkon työstä Tvärminnen eläintieteellisellä asemalla aikana, jolloin huoli yhteisestä tulevaisuudestamme on vahvasti läsnä. #merentutkijat #havsforskarna

Tiede tutuksi! Talvilomatorstaina 20.2. klo 11-15 Tvärminnen eläintieteellisellä asemalla järjestetään ohjelmaa koko perheelle. Levätyöpajan aikana pääset näkemään mikroskooppisen pieniä eläviä leviä, ja voit askarella oman leväsolun savesta. Katso koko ohjelma! #tiedekasvatus #wearehelsinkiuni
