- Quan l'esforç col·lectiu d'obtenir 2 dècades de dades 'in situ' al canyó del Cap de Creus val la pena perquè valida el model de @copernicusmarine.bsky.social 🛰️ 🚨 Obre la porta a investigar els enfonsaments d'aigua densa a partir del 1987! @lobeliaearth.bsky.social os.copernicus.org/articles/21/...
- 📣 PhD offer together with @davidamblas.bsky.social to investigate how ocean currents transport sediments in SE Greenland using hydrographic 🌊, biogeochemical 🔬, acoustic 🚢, satellite 🛰️, and modelling 💻 data. Start: Spring 2026 (likely March), 4 years 📥 anna.sanchez@ub.edu (before 26/09!)
- Natural meadows of seagrass 🌿 are bundling up microplastics and spitting them back out 🌊 onto beaches in the form of "Neptune balls"... ☺️ recently interviewed by the BBC bbc.com/future/artic...

- El passat juliol la @tashagoldberg.bsky.social em va fer aquesta fantàstica entrevista per #MedWaves. Parlo de contaminació per plàstics, dels biaixos de gènere en ciència, de ciència ciutadana, i del (fallit) tractat global dels plàstics. Gràcies! 💙 www.medwaves-centre.org/new/women-we...

- 🚨 Scientists map Antarctic seafloor canyons to help predict climate breakdown 🇦🇶 Outstanding work @davidamblas.bsky.social @ub.edu 👏 www.theguardian.com/environment/...
- Llancem la web del projecte TRAP! 🔗 trap-poctefa.eu Volem entendre l'origen, els mecanismes de transport i les zones d’acumulació de plàstics flotant al litoral català, des de Canet de Rosselló fins al delta de l’Ebre! 🌊 @interregeurope.bsky.social @ub.edu @upc.edu #PlasticatSea #POCTEFA #AFLE
- The 2025 World Rowing Masters Regatta will take place in the picturesque regatta course in Banyoles! Almost no floating microplastics there! 🔬 Getting ready 😊
- Brutal canvi d'escala per l'equip de @dusanmateric.bsky.social ! 📏 Primeres dades de concentracions de nanoplàstics (>1 µm) als oceans: 27 milions de tones de PET, PVC i PS a la columna d'aigua. Una massa de nanoplàstics superior a la de micro i macroplàstics. @ara.cat @vilaweb.cat @elpuntavui.cat

- They’ve done it again. @primavera-sound.bsky.social has been covered in artificial grass, i.e. plastic with chemicals that end up in the sea. A threat to human health, a risk to marine ecosystems, and a source of plastic pollution to the Mediterranean. Year after year. @beyondplastics.bsky.social

- Have you heard of plastic pellets? These tiny spheres are the raw material used to manufacture plastic products. They spill during production 🏭 and transport 🛻 and end up in rivers and oceans. They closely resemble fish eggs 🐟 and are easily ingested. 🔗 lnkd.in/dhM2zU6W
- 📢 Dimarts 20/5 a les 10h Sala d'Actes de l'Edifici Vèrtex de la @upc.edu presentarem els resultats de TRACE en forma d'eines de predicció de la dispersió de deixalles al litoral de Barcelona 📡🗺️ a partir de modelatge numèric 💻 i mostreig científic 🔬 🔗 Es retransmetrà en directe: lnkd.in/dHPr7NKp
- Have you seen artificial turf at a music festival? It might seem harmless, but is it really necessary? Over time, it sheds tiny plastic filaments that pollute rivers and oceans, harms wildlife and may impact our own health. #microplastics #FECYT @surfridereurope.bsky.social @ubdivulga.bsky.social

- El desafiament de la contaminació per plàstic. 💬 Parlarem d'indústries que "perden" pèl·lets, festivals de música encatifats de plàstic verd, l'impacte de la fast fashion als recursos vius o la problemàtica de les tovalloletes rebutjables... 📅 Divendres 25 d'abril 📍 Ateneu 24 de juny, Girona

- Reposted by Anna Sanchez-VidalThe people who produce this Mauna Loa atmospheric CO₂ record have a lab in Hilo, Hawaiʻi, about 50 miles (80 km) from the observatory. By closing the lab, it'll be really difficult to maintain the CO₂ observations.

- Reposted by Anna Sanchez-VidalNew study shows that 73% of #DeepSea decapods had ingested #microplastics, mostly fibers (91%). Catalan specimens had significantly more MPs than Sardinian ones. A. antennatus had the highest MP load in the Catalan area, Nephrops was the most contaminated decapod in Sardinia. doi.org/10.1016/j.en...

- Reposted by Anna Sanchez-VidalAs promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄
- "Straws are just the beginning" Matt Seaholm, president and CEO of the Plastics Industry Association, said in a statement. “‘Back to Plastic’ is a movement we should all get behind.” Ridícul, esperpèntic, aterridor i 🤮

- Reposted by Anna Sanchez-VidalScience has shown that #Plastic pollution is driven by plastic production, i.e. supply. Supply-side measures are thus essential to adequately tackle pollution and its effects on human and ecosystem health as well as climate! #PlasticsTreaty #INC5 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
- Long term moring line successfully deployed in the Cap de Creus submarine canyon! 🗓️ 2009-2024!! 😱 15 years monitoring temperature trends 🌡️in this key area of dense shelf water overflow 🌊
- Marine Science degree students at @unibarcelona.bsky.social : Learning and increasing awareness by doing 🔬!! Floating plastic sampling, extraction, and characterisation. As usual in Barcelona nearshore waters: >20% artificial turf debris!
- Que vol dir que si deixem d'utilitzar-ne (de gespa artificial) eliminem una part dels microplastics que floten a les aigües barcelonines. Apunta't-ho @primavera-sound.bsky.social pel 2025!!! 👌
