How many fish are in the sea? 🐟 A new paper shows how hard it can be to estimate. Researchers at Scripps Oceanography, MBARI, and The Evergreen State College compared three deep-ocean marine life sampling methods. Photo: Steve Haddock/MBARI

How we think about life in the deep ocean depends on the tools we use to view it. Using three different survey methods we found dramatically divergent pictures of deep-sea communities — and the most commonly used method doesn't sample jellies effectively. bit.ly/deep-views

I want to say a little more about this piece, and how I’ve been thinking about my work and journalistic responsibilities over the last 6 months. 1/

Wish you could convert particle concentrations to fluxes? New *open access* paper published today in GBC led by Ocean shows you how on a series of recent @GEOTRACES cruises! doi.org/10.1029/2021GB…

Hard work, boundless energy, smarts, and fun -- the stuff oceanographers are made of. The future is in really good hands! Thanks to Alyson Santoro and Phoebe Lam for an awesome cruise. Shout out to the R/V Roger Revelle crew, Ben Frable 🐟, Scripps Institution of Oceanography and National Geographic for your support.

Hot off the press!! 👇🏼 We looked at #microplastics in the #deepsea #foodweb of Monterey Bay. What did we learn? 1) MPs were prevalent at each #trophiclevel 2) #trophictransfer is likely not happening here 3) body size matters

Although it looks like a flimsy plastic bag, the medusa Deepstaria can use passive envelopment to subdue hardy prey, including a surprisingly large squid! Unfortunately, we also found a discarded plastic bag at 1700m depth, mimicking a jelly... (@mbari_news)

Celebrating International Women's Day with Prof. Haunani Kane and 9 other shining women leaders in The New York Times!

'Find a group of people that you can lean on for support, both in your successes and your challenges. Maybe they’re other scientists, maybe they’re not...'

We are so fortunate to have Rachel Chen in the lab. Kudos to her hard work, positive energy, and smarts in the classroom, the lab, and at sea. Read more in this undergraduate student spotlight by Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

So thrilled that Haunani Kane will join GDCS as an assistant professor. Dr. Kane's extensive knowledge in climate science & her unique background in traditional Hawaiian practice & navigation will bring a fresh perspective to GDCS & enrichen our program: bit.ly/38LyzV6

A voice like mine has never been a Cabinet secretary or at the head of the Department of Interior.

Growing up in my mother’s Pueblo household made me fierce. I’ll be fierce for all of us, our planet, and all of our protected land.

I am honored and ready to serve.

Please stop using “third world countries” to describe nations that are struggling in large part due to white supremacy, imperialism and colonialism.

Let’s not use the phrase, period.

A partnership between U.S. National Science Foundation, Scripps Institution of Oceanography and Office of Naval Research (ONR) is leading to the refit of the R/V Roger Revell, which will now have the most sophisticated underwater mapping capabilities in the U.S. Academic Research Fleet.
