👩‍🎓 PhD position at the National Oceanography Centre 👨‍🎓 🔍 Project: Heat, Freshwater and Oxygen Budgets in the Eastern Subpolar North Atlantic: Implications for UK continental shelf and European Weather. 🤝Team: Tiago, Neil, Lidia, & Bieito @bfcastro.bsky.social 🌊 Info: www.o-snap.org/phd-at-noc-uk/

What supplies nutrients to the surface layer of subtropical gyres is a long standing question in oceanography Recent work by Kate Oglethorpe shows that horizontal nutrient fluxes by mesoscale eddies are as (if not more) important than vertical fluxes: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Earth system models are plagued by uncertainties in the response of microbes to climate change. We leveraged metabolic insights from genome scale models when coupled to an ocean model in this new exciting work 🌊 www.science.org/doi/full/10....

Researchers modeled the paths of 100,000 particles of water backward in time over multiple decades to learn more about the origins of Subantarctic Mode Waters.

Thanks @aguadvances.bsky.social and @eos.org for sharing our work on the sources and formation process of sub-Antarctic Mode Waters!

📣 Exciting opportunity! We're hiring a #postdoctoral fellow in #gutmicrobiome research to explore the activity and function of the gut microbiome in situ and its regulation by the immune system.🦠🔬 Post based at @sotonbiosciences.bsky.social Apply here 👇 jobs.soton.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx...

About ten days left for this job! Don't miss the chance!

The Greenland Sea is undergoing dramatic changes due to climate change, which has altered deep water production in the Northern Hemisphere. This is not just a regional issue—it has global consequences, especially for ocean circulation and carbon absorption.🧪🌊

WE ARE HIRING. Interested in ocean mixing? Come work with us in the ARIA-funded POLEMIX project to create and deploy a float-based mixing observing system in the subpolar North Atlantic. Applications here: jobs.soton.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx... @sotonoceanearth.bsky.social @noc.ac.uk

Fernández Castro et al. (2024) find that mesoscale eddies play a dominant role in mixing heat and salt in the North Atlantic, helping us to better understand the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and its future behavior. 🔗 doi.org/10.1029/2023... #AGUPubs

POLEMIX will deploy a mixing observing system in the North Atlantic and feed the observations into ocean models to disentangle the fate of freshwater and its impacts on dense water formation. Hiring soon! @sotonoceanearth.bsky.social @nocmarinephys.bsky.social @imev-mer.fr @mitpress.bsky.social

Sea ice in the Arctic and around Antarctica cool our climate, drive ocean circulation across the planet, and provide a unique habitat for polar ecosystems. Sea ice amounts have now fallen to their lowest since we started measuring them. This is not good. 🌊🥼❄️🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Great views of sea ice in the Greenland Sea

Soon on our way to the Fram strait thanks to a NERC-funded Seedcorn grant and our colleages at U Bergen. We will investigate organic matter transport and export along the East Greenland margin. @sotonoceanearth.bsky.social

We are leading a new project which could transform our understanding of how the ocean ‘breathes’ - storing heat and greenhouse gases from the atmosphere 🌊 It will use sensors onboard high-tech floats to provide unprecedented detail on ocean mixing. Read more 👉 brnw.ch/UoS_News_Oce...

Two postdoc positions in my group are opening: First is part of SOCCOM3 (3 years, NSF funded, S. Ocean carbon/oxygen/nutrient budgets), Second is part of InMOS (4.25 yrs, Schmidt Sciences / OBVI funded, long-term oxygen/carbon flux and inventory constraints).

A new paper led by Sebastian Sippel just appeared in Nature arguing that ocean temperature measurements in the early 20th century have a cold bias. It's a fun story illustrating the process of scientific discovery, so let me talk about it a bit. 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
