- Greetings from 56.5S 81W where we deployed a @soccomproject.bsky.social @bgc-argo.bsky.social float. It will profile the ocean as it drifts eastwards! Fair winds!
- Here we go for two months in the Southern Ocean!

- #OnThisDay in 1872, the expedition of HMS Challenger set sail from Portsmouth, travelling nearly 70,00 nautical miles and cataloguing over 4000 unknown species over 4 years. This pioneering expedition, organised by the Royal Society, laid the foundations of oceanography.
- Reposted by Prof Alessandro TagliabueEveryone always asked why I moved to landlocked Colorado to do oceanography. Because it was the world's largest concentration of climate scientists. Because of NCAR and NOAA. In Boulder, fewer are alarmists; they are overwhelmingly problem solvers. NCAR's science is patriotic. Vought is not. 🌊

- Thanks for the nice write up of our forthcoming expedition in January! 🌊
- In October I got to go on the ship people wanted to call Boaty McBoatface before it headed off to the Antarctic to study its future in our changing climate. Mariana from @chemistryworld.com made the video, and I wrote this article: www.chemistryworld.com/features/the... I hope you enjoy them both!
- Reposted by Prof Alessandro TagliabueThe first paper for the IronMan project led by @altagliabue.bsky.social has been published in @globalchangebio.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... This January we set sail on the @bas.ac.uk research vessel the Sir David Attenborough to collect a whole suite of new observations 🌊
- If you’re interested in the productivity of the southern ocean using remote sensing, floats and models - both now and in the future then this is the paper for you! We’re gearing up for an associated field campaign in January!! 🌊 doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

- Reposted by Prof Alessandro TagliabueWas there any coverage of the recent record warmth in both the Arctic and Antarctic? Multiple global datasets now confirm these records, and I think it's really quite striking. Here's some very quick plots showing NOAAGlobalTempv6 data from October too. And see my earlier posts.

- Reposted by Prof Alessandro TagliabueThe fate of silicon in the ocean is something we surprisingly still trying to wrap our heads around. Part of it is integrated into the shells of marine organisms (e.g., diatoms), but when they die, some dissolves back, and some apparently turn into clay. 🧪🌊 Link: www.science.org/doi/full/10....
