Nice day for a day on the ice! ☀️😎We’re preparing for our ice dive next week to measure benthic metabolism in SAV incl. #Zostera 🌱 @tiinasalo.bsky.social Laura Kauppi Anna Vesanen @marienordstrom.bsky.social @tvarminne.bsky.social @coastclim.bsky.social

#WorldSeagrassDay 2026! Seagrasses are vital for marine life: 🐠 Provide habitats that support biodiversity 🎣Boost fisheries as nurseries & feeding grounds This year's theme “SeagrassesEnrichOceanBiodiversity&Fisheries” highlights their role in ocean health.Join us to #ProtectSeagrass! 📷 N. Foster

🚨New publication on carbon stocks in reed beds! M Williamson et al. quantified C storage in reed stems, roots and sediment. 🌍 Most C was stored in the sediments and roots, and the highest total C storage was observed in the intermittent zone of the reed beds. 👉 Read more: doi.org/10.5194/bg-2...

🚨New publication! Eva Rohlfer et al. show how the contribution of zoobenthos to seafloor respiration in coastal habitats varies with space and time. 👉Read about the interesting results: doi.org/10.1016/j.ma... @tvarminne.bsky.social

Sad I didn't manage to go to there myself this time, but thanks to Mace Head team for hosting these campaigns!

Spent the month of May on the beautiful Irish west coast quantifying BVOC-emissions from marine algae and seagrass. Fruitful collaboration between @helsinki.fi, @uniofgalway.bsky.social, @coastclim.bsky.social. @cmgustafsson.bsky.social @mikaelehn.bsky.social @ovadnevaite.bsky.social

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...

Journal editors struggling to find reviewers — there are some bloody good reasons why I used to think it was merely a post-COVID19 hiccough, but the extensive delays in receiving reviews for submitted manuscripts that I am seeing near constantly now are the symptoms of a much larger problem. That…

🚨 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...

🚨PhD-defense coming up on #macrophyte #functional traits and links to #carbon cycling! 🌱🌱 @roellammerant.bsky.social will defend his thesis on Fri 4th April at 13 (EET) Link to Zoom: helsinki.zoom.us/j/68659327422

Looking for a PhD position, and interested in in 2nd generation restoration considering genetic factors in seagrasses (aka assisted evolution)? - still 10 days left to apply!

Latest data from @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social shows: January 2025 was the warmest January globally on record 🌡️ 1.75ºC above pre-industrial level 🌊 Second highest global SST, 0.19°C below January 2024  #ClimateAction 🧪⚒️🌍

CoastClim researchers are currently on a field campaign in NZ. Preliminary measurements suggest high emissions of #GHG in degraded #coastalecosystems. This highlights the role of coastal ecosystems in #climatechange mitigation plans. #collaboration #universityofauckland #helsinkiuni #stockholmuni

Vuosi 2024 oli mittaushistorian lämpimin. Ensimmäistä kertaa lämpeneminen ylitti 1,5 astetta. Vuoteen mahtui mm. historian kuumin, yksittäinen päivä. Hiilidioksidia ja metaania oli ilmakehässä enemmän kuin koskaan mittaushistoriassa. yle.fi/a/74-20135259

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.

I tried to build a starter pack for researchers in ecology sensu lato. Who am I missing? go.bsky.app/2MdGeqi I can add more people and spread it around.

Great to see so many marine scientists already on Bluesky - to help get you find some of them here is a starting list list of a few marine biologists If you want to be added (or deleted), or know other I have missed (many for sure) - just contact me and I'll sort it go.bsky.app/RS5zQHv
