Applications are now open for participation in the 7th workshop on Trait-Based Approaches to Ocean Life in Asilomar, California: carnegiescience.edu/seventh-trai...

We usually think of photosynthetic bacteria as the main N2 fixers in the world's oceans . Using a mechanistic model we estimate that heterotrophic bacteria are responsible for 10% of the global N2 fixation. And it also occurs temperate waters. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Squid die when they reproduce. We estimate that sinking squid carcasses locks away 11-12 Mt carbon/year in the deep oceans. Increasing squid fisheries interrupts this sequestration and sends it to our dinner plates - where it is respired to the atmosphere. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Our online simulator of the FEISTY fish community model is now live. Simulate the food web structure fish communities based on bottom depth and zooplankton production: oceanlife.dtuaqua.dk/FEISTY/

We have an open associate professor/tenure track position in oceanography at the Technical University of Denmark. Be part of our expanding oceanography section and contribute to our new education in Ocean Engineering: efzu.fa.em2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid....

Finally in print: R package of the FEISTY global fish community model. Fast Fortran backend with an R interface makes it fast and easy to use FEISTY for your own applications. Used in the EU projects #NECCTON and @oceanicu.bsky.social. doi.org/10.1111/2041...

I have moved my online presence from twitter to Bluesky. Delighted to see so many from the old community are here already.
