80% of marine Species Distribution Models ignore acidification and deoxygenation. We show that by considering these drivers, predicted range contractions for cold-water corals can scale up to 21.4%! #datascience #climatechange #corals Read: biodiversitydatascience.com/acidification-…

Ep. 9: Marine aquaculture can resist climate change if we meet the 1.5°C Paris Agreement target Listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-…

Our new study found that Ocean currents connect macroalgae to deep carbon sinks. In Greenland, floating seaweed mats travel via surface currents to deep ocean sinks, where winter mixing forces them to sink and sequester carbon for centuries. Read: biodiversitydatascience.com/ocean-transpor…

Our new study found: marine #aquaculture can resist #ClimateChange if we meet the 1.5°C #ParisAgreement target, but higher emission scenarios threaten 100% of current high-value producing zones. Read: biodiversitydatascience.com/climate-change…

New research. #Seahorse species won't just "shift north" with #climatechange. Integrating ocean current modeling with habitat forecasting shows that limited dispersal potential creates a massive conservation risk (habitat contract by 45%). Read at: shorturl.at/d1yG7

We mapped the global shipless areas and conflict zones between intense shipping and marine megafauna like cetaceans, sea turtles, pinnipeds, and seabirds severely impacts. Read the paper at: biodiversitydatascience.com/global-shiples…

New research paper: Future #climatechange will force cold-water #corals to shift poleward and deeper, causing significant #biodiversity loss in shallow, low-latitude regions unless global emissions are drastically reduced. biodiversitydatascience.com/coral-redistri…

New publication! We mapped the global genetic diversity of marine forests of brown macroalgae. Using genetic data, machine learning & past climate projections, we identify hotspots of diversity that shape resilience & conservation priorities. doi.org/10.1038/s42003…

[new study] Climate change can produce global shifts in #seagrass ecosystems: expect Arctic expansions, tropical losses, and major community composition changes by 2100. These findings highlight the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions. biodiversitydatascience.com/climate-change…

@valecosta83 Hi, this is a 12 month contract. Thanks for the interest.

@jorgemfassis For how long is the contract? I am not able to find this info in the edital

We are hiring a Post-doc Researcher to aid designing a network of MPAs in Europe. The selected candidate will work on critical topics like climate change effects and connectivity modelling. ccmar.ualg.pt/en/job/ccmarij…

Daru & Rock's paper on seagrass range shifts under climate change has serious flaws. Their species distribution models (SDM) misuse the concept of model transferability, leading to inaccurate results. #marinescience #conservation #seagrass #natureplants nature.com/articles/s4147…

Our recent publication shows that climate change could put up to 80% of key species at risk by 2100 under high emission scenarios. Urgent action is needed to meet the Paris Agreement and safeguard our marine ecosystems. doi.org/10.1038/s44183… #ClimateChange #ParisAgreement

Our latest study dives into the impacts of past and future climate change on surfgrass species in the Northeast Pacific. We explore how historical range shifts and future climate change affect genetic diversity. doi.org/10.1111/jbi.14… #ClimateChange #GeneticDiversity #Seagrass

📢The third paper from my PhD is finally out! Paper on climate effects on population structure and diversity of North Pacific surfgrasses. @CienciasDoMar onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Marine forests are powerful carbon sinks! Our recent collaborative study shows they export 15% of their production to the deep ocean, sequestering 4-44 Tg of carbon annually. Protecting them is crucial for climate mitigation and biodiversity. Read more: biodiversitydatascience.com/seaweed-forest…
