A humpback whale breaches near one of the #NSFfunded Ocean Observatories Initiative surface moorings. This data collected by these offshore instruments helps researchers better understand ocean dynamics— and the ecosystems that whales call home. 📸 Peter Duley, Permit 27066

At MBARI, we believe discovery begins with opportunity—the kind that changes lives and careers. Our immersive internship and postdoctoral programs are helping launch the next generation of ocean explorers who are transforming ocean science and technology. Learn more: www.mbari.org/news/mbari-o...

"The strength of WHOI's science is in its people." It was true in the time of our first director, Henry Bigelow—and it's true today. We wouldn't be leaders in ocean science + engineering without our dedicated + talented staff. 👉🏽This Labor Day, get to know the #HumansofWHOI: go.whoi.edu/humans

🌋 How do scientists monitor volcanoes that we can’t see inside? Volcanoes are powerful and unpredictable, but geophysics gives us a window into the hidden processes deep underground. 📽️Learn more about how we use geophysics to monitor volcanic hazards in this new video! ⬇️ https://loom.ly/d6Hpq7U

This is bad for the ocean and bad for our nation. It is also not set in stone. Please read this and use your voice to advocate for a different outcome. oceanobservatories.org/2025/06/nsf-...

🎉Thank you National Science Foundation, for all the #NSFfunded #seismological science you support, including the SAGE and GAGE facilities operated by @earthscope.org. Our current understanding of #earthquakes, #volcanoes and #geodesy research would not be possible without you. ⚒️ 🧪

This is a REALLY big deal. A huge amount of volcanic activity in the world happens beneath the sea where we can't see it, and often don't know it's happening. This is only the third time we have *ever* seen a submarine eruption, and the first at a mid-ocean ridge. AMAZING stuff.

I have a new PhD position open in my research group, for a project studying how soil microbial communities, metabolism, and carbon use efficiency respond to drought 🧪. The application window closes on April 30, full instructions and more information here: jobs.unibas.ch/offene-stell...

Mining companies, after years pretending science-driven ‘sustainable’ deep-sea mining hope to team up with the Trump administration to circumvent mining regulations and put aside science. It was always about profits & never about the environment. Greenwashing it was. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/c...

Had a great time chatting with Greg Nibler at FOX12 Oregon about the prospects for an eruption at Axial Seamount this year.

Axial seamount, off the Oregon coast, is getting ready to erupt (again) in 2025. The most well instrumented under sea volcano has reached similar inflation as when it erupted (as predicted at that time) in 2015. Real time data is online for anyone to see! ⚒️🧪🌋 www.sciencenews.org/article/scie...

Did you know that there's an undersea volcano off of the Oregon/Washington coast? And did you know that's acting up? Let's unpack what this means, and what we know. 🧵
