News from the NSF Division of Earth Sciences Informational Webinar: If US scientists want to support NSF EAR, they should continue to submit proposals. The number of proposals is an important metric for quantifying need and therefore influencing the budget

Important new findings on chemical barriers to kelp recovery, featured in our Science Perspective. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @science.org

New Perspective out in Science with filbeek.bsky.social. Climate change alters ocean chemical ecology, affecting resilience. We highlight new research showing that turf allelochemicals inhibit kelp recruitment, creating barriers to recovery. science.org/doi/10.1126/... #ClimateChange #KelpForests

Learn about what @colettefeehan.bsky.social & other researchers from Montclair State University found when they explored how these storms affected different types of coastal ecosystems, including mangrove forests, seagrass meadows, and salt marshes: www.sciencejournalforkids.org/articles/how...

New outreach alert! 🌊 Our research on tropical cyclones & coastal ecosystems is now in Science Journal for Kids, bringing climate science to young learners! Open access: www.sciencejournalforkids.org/articles/how... #SciComm #ClimateChange #CoastalEcosystems

Studies on seaweed farming and offshore wind co-location often focus disproportionately on provisioning services while underexploring cultural benefits and governance challenges. Our quick scoping review in Frontiers highlights these gaps and opportunities: doi.org/10.3389/fmar...

Calling all marine ecologists! If you study biodiversity, conservation or related topics, a second 'Marine Ecologists' starter pack is being organized here on Bluesky to connect researchers and practitioners. Reply here or to @drangelborja.bsky.social if interested—we need 6–7 people to get started!

Prospective PhD students: I am recruiting another 3 PhD students to join my Thriving Oceans Research Hub and work on the "Bright Spots 2.0" (aka exceptional responders) project as part of my ARC Laureate Fellowship www.arc.gov.au/funding-rese.... Scholarship Ad: www.sydney.edu.au/scholarships...

Really important read about the extinction of experience among ecologists - and the barriers to doing fieldwork - both in teaching & research. @kevinjgaston.bsky.social Likely to hinder our efforts to address the biodiversity crisis doi.org/10.1016/j.tr... 🌏🧪
