Brief offshore dalliance this week doing a few interesting tasks, such a tonic for the academic soul. To quote idiosyncratic, post-punk artists Sea Power: "The salt, the spray, the gorgeous undertow Always, always, always the sea" 🌊

🌊 New publication out! Key message: Measuring dry bulk density is as important as measuring organic carbon content when estimating organic carbon stocks. Shouldn't surprise, but needs to be said. Led by Mark Chatting (@ucddublin.bsky.social), with @drmarkyc.bsky.social, @biogeochembilly.bsky.social

Local variations in environmental predictors and dry bulk density measurements have a significant influence on #bluecarbon stock estimates in marine sediments 🌎🌊🔍 read all about it 👇 bg.copernicus.org/articles/22/... @mdiesing.bsky.social @biogeochembilly.bsky.social

Really please to see this out. Led by @drmarkyc.bsky.social our paper on how to Improve #bluecarbon stock estimates 🧪🌊 share.google/m48qdGvQ8kpE...

What better place for the MESSAGE Group writing retreat than where the mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea ⛰️🌊 Great few days of writing, discussions & generally being inspired, led by Emma Millet, @tomasbuitendijk.bsky.social & Geertje Schuitema, sponsored by Marine Institute ✍️🗣

In sunny Aghada for some engaged research as part of our Marine Institute & iCRAG ENACT project, listening to coastal communities and their perspectives on the #energytransition 🔋💨🍃

Looking for that summer beach read? ☀️🏖 Look no further than this behemoth pre-print review from colleagues all across Europe👇 doi.org/10.31223/X57... It's a smorgasbord of Quaternary stratigraphy, geomorphology, geophysics, geotechnics and geohazards. Enjoy 👌

Just published! Our paper on the global distribution of dissolved organic carbon in coastal water. Super please to see this out 🌊🧪 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

A stimulating week at #EGU25. Co-convened a #bluecarbon session, w/Phoebe Walsh presenting her latest PhD research on trawling impacts & seafloor recovery. Shauna Creane & Aelita Totska presented a new sediment mobility tool, and Muireann Walsh gave her first PhD poster on Irish Sea morpodynamics 👏

New core scanning equipment heading our way in the @ucddublin.bsky.social School of Earth Sciences 🙌 Really looking forward to the research opportunities this will open up in characterising Earth materials for a range of applications across climate, environmental, energy & engineering projects 🌏

🚨Permanent job alert🚨 At @marumunibremen.bsky.social @unibremen.bsky.social, we are looking for a new professor in the field of Marine Geology. Check out the job description and how to apply here 👇 www.uni-bremen.de/en/universit...

Really pleased to have been involved in this piece of work led by @drmarkyc.bsky.social to understand the uncertainties in seabed carbon stock assessment. 🧪🌊 egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20...

On this International Women's Day, I want to acknowledge the Mná-some women in #STEM I work with in UCD School of Earth Sciences & further afield 💪 In particular Jennifer Keenahan, Katrien Van Landeghem, Shauna Creane, PhD., Phoebe Walsh, Muireann Walsh, Ciara Ní Mhaoldomhnaigh & Pegah Amjadian 🙌

🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨 Open for discussion in Biogeosciences! 🌊 We show previous models may overestimate marine sediment organic carbon stocks due to biases in predictors and dry bulk density estimates. 🔎 Read & discuss: 👉 egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20... #BlueCarbon #EGU

'iCRAG@10' marked 10 years of innovative research from the iCRAG Research Ireland Centre for Applied Geosciences! Read more about the event and the impact that the Centre has had on research, industry and society over the last decade: ucd.ie/research/new...

Another fine day in the field with @arctic-glacial.bsky.social & the 4th year Quaternary Geology class, trying to decipher perplexing sequences at Killiney/Shankill 🤔
