Our last paper of 2025 and I’m so excited about this one! We show that rocky intertidal foundation species are important to benthic-pelagic coupling by fueling pelagic bacteria production #EcologyLetters. 🦠 🌊 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author...

This was such a cool project to be a part of! We used ML models to build a high-res (1.4m) land cover map, and combined terrain+weather data w/ algae+water samples from >200 lagoon sites over 4 years to understand connections between land use, precipitation, water quality, and microbial communities.

On behalf of the Department of Oceanography at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, we are excited to invite applications for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position in Ocean Biogeochemical Modeling at the rank of assistant professor. www.schooljobs.com/careers/hawa... position number 0082726

Okinawa had its hottest September at 1.6C above the average. I filmed this mass coral bleaching last year, but didn't have the heart to share. Total annihilation of the first few meters of depth. This stuff happens before our eyes, and yet people who think it isn't real keep gaining power.

Scientific societies, journals, editors and researchers are pushing back against mean-spirited peer reviews go.nature.com/4mXJjn6

Have you ever experienced an unprofessional peer review? This feature in @nature.com describes the consequences of bullying reviews with personal examples from Yours Truly. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Check out recent research from our journals with our new media tip sheet! Including: 🪸How nutrients from land shape life in the sea 🪻Biocontrol of a widespread wetland weed 🦌Whether wildlife take a hike when humans are around and more! Read it here esa.org/blog/2025/09... @esajournals.bsky.social

Thanks for the terrific cover shot!📸

Our article made the cover of @esajournals.bsky.social Ecological Monographs! 🤩

New research examining impacts of terrestrial nutrients on coral reefs, in our journal "Ecological Monographs"👇

Submarine groundwater discharge leads to “biogeochemical cascades”! Check out our newest paper showing the direct and indirect effects of SGD on organic and inorganic carbon fluxes on coral reefs! dx.doi.org/10.1002/ecm....

A few more days to get your applications in! Join us as a postdoc in coral reef ecology/ecosystem metabolism 🌊🧪

Sea Grant is a powerhouse for coastal communities! Through research, education, and outreach, it helps protect marine ecosystems, support sustainable fisheries, and boost coastal economies. Sea Grant keeps our waters and communities thriving. We need sea grant! www.pressherald.com/2025/03/01/m...

Congrats @mixotrophe.bsky.social !!!! So well deserved!!!!! Happy Tenure Celebration day!!!

What an honor to get to celebrate this team tomorrow. (at noon in the MSI Auditorium, if you're on campus) #figaday 2.265/n #year3

🤿 HIRING POSTDOC 🤿 🌊 We are hiring a full time postdoc in ecological oceanography (2 yr) at University of Hawai'i at Mānoa. Seeking excellent candidates w/ experience in coral reef ecology & oceanography to develop research projects in Hawai'i & Okinawa, Japan. ID# 225109 www.rcuh.com/work/careers/

A few more days to get your applications in! Come join our team :) 🌊

📣 JOB ALERT📣 The Silbiger Lab is hiring a full time research tech @ University of Hawai’i at Mānoa to support research on intertidal ecology in Hawai’i & coral reef/coastal oceanography in Okinawa, Japan. RCUH ID: 225085 application link below. 1 year to start, but have several years of funding.

Are you interested in land-sea connections and how they influence coral reefs? We’ve got two new papers for you this week on submarine groundwater discharge and how it affects coral physiology, species interactions, and community metabolism. Links below!

One of our amazing grad students lost everything in the LA fires. She is so kind & compassionate & always 1st to help out a friend. She is also a champion of protecting coral reefs through research & action. If you have any capacity to help her it would be so appreciated. ❤️https://gofund.me/27c354ef

Proud lab mom today watching my student, Hannah, successfully defend her MS on the effects of submarine groundwater discharge on multiple life stages of a pocilloporid coral! 🧪🪸

Happy to see the best #rstats trend has also migrated here 📊

I found it, the chart specifically tailored to my pet peeves, its perfect 🥺

This is a work of art and an incredible thread

I can’t unsee some of these.

Pie charts are a popular choice here 😉

these are my favourite utterly useless graphs.

The most wonderful time of the year.

This is a fantastic assignment

Some of the most engaging dataviz I've seen ages ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Have you ever thought to yourself… how can I make my #rstats plot UGLIER? Well, look no further, cuz it’s good plot-bad plot time! My students made plots that will make you want to laugh, cry, and throw your computer out the window. Which one do you think is the worst? 🧵🧪

If anyone is interested in applying for a Smith postdoctoral fellowship to work in Hawaii I’d be happy to talk about sponsoring your application. conbio.org/mini-sites/s...

Thank you @nsilbiger.bsky.social for letting me celebrate your new position as an #UehiroProfessor with you this weekend! I'm so proud to be your friend! #figaday 2.108/n #year2

The University of Hawaii at Manoa has FOUR tenure track faculty positions in Sustainable Fisheries in Tropical Island & Ocean Systems. Join us! Posts below with link for each position. #AcademicChatter

I’m very excited to join the Uehiro Center for the Advancement of Oceanography at @uhmanoa in Jan 2024! It is a bittersweet move as I’m also sad to leave CSUN Biology, an incredible department at that has created a home for me these last several years. www.soest.hawaii.edu/oceanography...

We are starting to review applications in two weeks for these positions in marine biology/ecology! 🌊🐟🦀🐙

I’ve joined more than 200 scientists in an open letter calling for the need to prioritize and accelerate ocean-based #carbonremoval research to help determine which methods could be safe to deploy to help restore our #climate & #ocean health. www.oceancdrscience.org

💥Job💥 We are excited to share that CSUN Biology is advertising for 2 (!!) marine biology/ecology Asst Professors! You'll get to teach awesome unique field courses, connect with a thriving research program, & work with amazing students. Please share widely! www.csun.edu/hr/career-op...
