MBA - Marine Biological Associationさんのイラストまとめ

Our @thembauk scientists @DanSmale1 @_DrKatieSmith led a study that shows major global impacts of #marineheatwaves and identifies the need to curb CO2 emissions. #COP26 #climatechange #ecosystems https://t.co/2EE2kSTZtg @ScienceMagazine

The SDA, whilst not an #ice breaker, has been designed to operate in #polar conditions where it will encounter sea ice, icebergs, and extreme wind and weather. The vessel rises up on the ice, using its weight to break through. 🛳️❄️🌊

Is parasitism of #plankton always a bad thing? New #research at the MBA suggests not! We found a new parasite of diatoms which preferentially removes unhealthy diatom cells in the population. This creates a "Healthy Herd", and this is the 1st example of this at microbial scales!

Marine ecologist Rob @RJMrowicki (@darwintreelife Postdoctoral Researcher @MBAEcology & Scientific Associate @NHM_Botany) studies the causes & consequences of #biodiversity in temperate coastal ecosystems, of which #seaweeds are a vital component. #DToLMarine #MacroalgaeMonday

#WorldOceanDay is our opportunity to share why we love the ocean and celebrate the vital role our ocean plays in our lives. It is the lungs of our planet! We love every aspect from the microbes to the mammals. What makes it so special for you?

In the last 6 months over 632 million records have been downloaded from DASSH #research #metadata #dataarefun

The edible sea urchin (Echinus esculentus), is found on the majority of coast around the British Isles. Like the data team, it spends a lot of the day grazing on tasty treats like seaweed and barnacles, although it's more like cake and biscuits for our team!

(2/2)... this means that any observed changes in our data reflect actual changes in the marine environment, and are not because of changes in methodology. Because of this, @CPRSurvey data provide a valuable insight into the health of our ocean #CPRSurvey

The CPR was developed by Sir Alister Hardy during his time as Chief Zoologist on RRS Discovery voyage to the S. Atlantic (1925-27). The 1st CPR tow was in 1931 in the North Sea, with CPRs regularly deployed on several routes in the North Sea from 1946-present day #CPRSurvey

Seawater enters the front of the CPR and is filtered through a band of fine silk mesh which acts like a fishing net to catch the plankton. A 2nd band of silk covers the 1st to create a “plankton sandwich” which is fixed in-situ using a buffered formalin solution #CPRSurvey
