Vortex rings! #Etna

Goose and Geese announcing band departures on the same day is an inspired extension of the bit, frankly.

Last night on #OctoOdyssey we saw baby octopus born at 2km water depth. What a privelege to witness- our planet is amazing. Video via @SchmidtOcean ROV pilot Jason Rodriguez. You can catch more on the livestream!

🌋 As southwest #Iceland braces for a likely #volcano eruption, #WHOI scientists @ForrestHorton + @pbarry10 are working to improve hazard #forecasting by looking at helium isotope changes in #lavas. Dig into the predictive power of #geochemistry: go.whoi.edu/volcano-predic…

BIG-EYE JELLYHEAD On a recent expedition exploring the Pacific Abyssal Plains, our #deepsea research team captured footage of a 𝘊𝘪𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘶𝘮𝘢 𝘤𝘧. 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘯𝘢 from the deep-sea lander camera at 4800m. This is a rare sighting of a deep-sea cirrrate octopod at this depth.

I am pleased to announce the publication of my new #OpenAccess geomicrobiology textbook - Microbiology for Earth Scientists newprairiepress.org/ebooks/53/

Want to do your postdoc @WHOI? Learn more here & reach out to our faculty to spin up ideas! Co-advising is welcomed. Stipend is $70,000 for an 18-mo appointment + travel/research funds. Applications due October 15. #postdoc #oceanscience #oceanengineering whoi.edu/what-we-do/edu…

📢 New paper 📢 Volcanologists often use the melt H2O-CO2 (e.g., melt inclusions, matrix glass) as a barometer to work out how deep magmas are stored or erupted at. But how do oxygen fugacity (fO2) and sulfur impact calculations of the pressure of vapor-saturation?

A beautiful glass sponge from last night’s #DiagnosingDeepCoral dive. Euplectella have a skeleton made of siliceous spicules which often forms a lifelong habitat for shrimp pairs schmidtocean.org/cruise-log-pos… @RadicalMicrobe @ScottWankel @SchmidtOcean @WHOI #coralpulse #hansellab @MIT

New paper about ultrahigh-precision noble gas isotope analyses, which reveal pervasive subsurface fractionation in hydrothermal systems science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Amazing footage from our #LostCityVents cruise- what a glorious planet we live on! Thank you to @SchmidtOcean @oceanexplorer & all of our partners for bringing seafloor wonders to light! w/ @WHOI @MBARI_News @noaapmel @tampabayleigh @MicroAlec @M_Davies @rubyspira @MonikaNeufeld

Researchers @archaearama and @pbarry10 take 🎙️ @Jeffdelviscio on a journey toward the center of Earth to find bacteria that can breathe iron, arsenic and other metals. Listen to this episode of 🎧 “Science, Quickly” on Spotify: bit.ly/411x6CX

Mysterious Microbes in Earth's Crust Might Help With the Climate Crisis - Scientific American scientificamerican.com/video/mysterio…

Wherever we dig and however deep we dig we find microscopic living organisms. Could the mysterious microbes in earth’s crust unlock a climate change solution? 🥼 @archaearama @pbarry10 🎞️ Voyager 🎥 David Terry Fine 🔗 bit.ly/3TUx1hI

All around the world, people are talking about the fantastic work happening at Cape Cod’s @WHOI. We want to keep the momentum going and put MA on the cutting edge of climate innovation and coastal resiliency. That’s why we’re investing in our blue economy with our budget.

Field work was a lot of fun. [Pic by @kate_volc. More pics here: imnotavolcanologist.com/field] 6/10

Wonder how magmatic gases from intrusions escape to the surface, and to what extent? 🧵 We search for answers in Icelandic hydrothermal fluids in a new paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.jvol… @rockhardIES @eapsMIT @goetheuni @istituto @geo_hel @pbarry10 1/10
