More underwater images of the mass bleaching unfolding in the northern GBR. Water temperatures appear to be dropping after prolonged heating of >5 DHW, but the coral bleaching at this reef is severe (>80% colonies), with exceptionally high rates of mortality in juvenile corals.

A question: Are "Community Science" and "Citizen Science" interchangeable? What country are you from? I'm hungry for a global perspective. I've heard arguments that 'Community Science" is more inclusive, but only among US colleagues. #ornithology @eBird @iNaturalist

I wonder how the collapse of the Atlantic overturning will impact these areas?

I once spoke to an oceanographer and I'm fairly sure this is what they told me

New study: the Atlantic overturning circulation AMOC “is on tipping course”. The paper by Dutch colleagues adds more weight to recent warnings, such as the OECD Climate Tipping Points report of 2022 and the Global Tipping Points report published 2023. realclimate.org/index.php/arch…

I gather some misunderstand this paper as an unrealistic model scenario for the future. That’s wrong. This type of experiment is not a future projection at all, but rather done to trace the equilibrium stability curve, from which an early warning indicator was then developed. The conclusion that the AMOC is „on course to tipping“ is based on applying that indicator to *reanalysis data* (observations-based products), as shown in Fig. 6 of the paper. In other words it’s observational data from the South Atlantic which suggest the AMOC is on tipping course.

I will be going on parental leave this year. Would you like my job while I'm away? I cannot recommend our team highly enough to work with. seek.com.au/job/73622957

This Sunday is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, so we're celebrating some of our inspiring scientists. Meet Natalia, Rebecca, Jessica, Kay and Emma: bit.ly/42wDzr6 #WomenInScience #STEM

Excited to share a new collaborative project called Ocean LAB (@FionaHillary @vicki_hallett and I) and we have our first exhibition opening this week! Our collaboration merges science, art and digital tech to bring the wrack zone into everyday conversation 👇@PlatformGeelong

Please help us find our @Tags4Wildlife miniPAT that has washed ashore close next to Blueys beach in New South Wales 🇦🇺 🦈

I recently read this article by @noam_vv It's brilliant with implications across how we conduct and report biophysical modelling for connectivity estimates. If that's an interest, I highly recommend a read! aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ln…

For those still on here, I'm super stoked to see this one out there! 🐟🔥🤏 @Timothy_D_Clark @ScheuffeleHanna @DeakinSEBE @deakinresearch Supplemental oxygen does not improve growth but can enhance reproductive capacity of fish royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.10… A thread below 🧵1/n
