A pretty cool team doing pretty cool science 🌊 check out the 2022 @OceanHealthIndx scores if you’re a fan of soft bottom habitat, fisheries governance, marine biodiversity and more oceanhealthindex.org/news/2022-scor…

A healthy ocean is essential for a healthy planet. Scientists from @ucsb_nceas have measured the ocean biodiversity, ecosystem functionality, and marine life health for a global 2022 Ocean Health Index score of 69 out of 100. ow.ly/puT650LXGXe

Introducing this year's @OceanHealthIndx average score: 69/100. "It’s really amazing to watch a bunch of messy, highly diverse data get compiled, processed and analyzed...Each year is a new adventure that improves the way we manage and protect our oceans" news.ucsb.edu/2022/020786/ta…

Check out the article, "Taking Ocean Vital Signs" from the @ucsantabarbara current on the 2022 OHI scores, the calculation process, and how the index has evolved over time! news.ucsb.edu/2022/020786/ta… @ucsb_nceas

The 2022 Ocean Health Index Scores are in! The global average is a 69/100 - stable, but opportunities for improvement. Curious how ocean health has changed over time in your country? Further explore scores and methods: oceanhealthindex.org/news/2022-scor… #oceans #OpenScience @ucsb_nceas

Welcome back @PeterFMenzies! Following a @BrenUCSB Masters in Environmental Data Science and an @OceanHealthIndx fellowship, Peter is joining us as a spatial analyst for @seasktch. He’s eager to apply his data science skills to help with global marine conservation. 🌊 #NewtoNCEAS

New paper out from members of the OHI team! Thanks @ZoologyDave for a great thread on the paper led by OHI founder @BSHalpern. The group spatially mapped the global pressures (disturbance, ghg, nutrients & water use) of agriculture, marine fisheries, and marine aquaculture.

We are thrilled to welcome back @juliet_s_cohen who transitioned from being an @OHIscience fellow to the @arcticdatactr data science team! Juliet is diving deep into Arctic satellite images, passionate about “making data more accessible and open to Arctic researchers” #NewtoNCEAS

Ever had to deal with hours of mind numbing manual file downloading and data transcription? OHI fellow @PeterFMenzies explains how to use #rvest, #purrr and #tabulizer to extract tables from highly formatted PDFs in R! #rstats oceanhealthindex.org/news/scraping_…

Introducing a new habitat for OHI, tidal flats!! This year one of our fellows, Cullen Molitor, developed a workflow to download and analyze data created by @remotelysense on the global extent of tidal flat habitat. #rspatial #terra #raster oceanhealthindex.org/news/tidal_fla…

Great #DataScience resources out of the NCEAS @OceanHealthIndx!
