Accurate assessment of the carbon export flux is crucial for estimating the magnitude of the biological pump, a critical component of the global carbon cycle.  However, this flux is challenging to measure and therefore complementary approaches are usually combined to estimate it. The use of radioactive pair disequilibrium, particularly Th-234 / U-238, is one of the most popular methods.…

Angelee Annasawmy has created a great new board game, based on results of her research. 

The game is called "Micronekton & Eddies" and can be played by 6 players at a time. The objective is for each player to perform diel vertical migrations while avoiding predators and being carried away by eddies. 

This game has served as an…

Congratulations to Tom Longbahn (UIB) for winning a Starting Grant from the Trond Mohn Research Foundation for a 4-year project titled "DRIFT - Systematically Rethinking Advection and Cross-Ecosystem Subsidies".

We will be highlighting a few areas every 6 months as ones particularly deserving of attention, in the hope of stimulating new activities within our community. For all of them we encourage you to think across the full range of possible activities: research ideas, technology, cruises in geographical gaps, new proposals, policy work, education materials…anything. Get creative!

Join us at sea and onshore!

Hello!

I'm a molecular ecologist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, working on a comparative population genetic study of mesopelagic fishes as part of WHOI's Ocean Twilight Zone initiative. As part of this project, I'm conducting RAD-based population genetic analysis on a suite of widespread mesopelagic fish species, and am looking for as broad a global distribution of samples…

Co-design is a process that will enable transformative ocean science by:

• Involving all concerned stakeholders
• Engaging all stakeholders throughout all stages of knowledge creation and dissemination

Building on pre-existing relationships, networks and shared experiences, while remaining open to new voices…

Do you identify yourself as a deep-sea early career ocean professional or interested in deep-sea science-to-policy?
If yes, the Deep Ocean Stewardship Initiative (DOSI) wants to hear from you!
