Last week we sampled in Cap de Creus to test #eDNA on fish and invertebrate communities 🧬🐟.This technique detects species from their genetic traces in the water,no need to capture them.The work is part of the EU projects #GES4SEAS and #PETRIFY

Jan Geert, that is brilliant. This is a missing link in the marine carbon accounting capabilities. I see loads of synergies...

I don't post often, but the US slaughterhouse is getting beyond ridiculous. NOAA forced to decommission essential monitoring and historical climate data!? Good grief. Mango Mussolini is insane. www.nesdis.noaa.gov/about/docume...
OceanViz on Unity is coming!! First devised to include any audience into marine ecosystem modelling, OceanViz will soon be available as an public and open-source toolkit for visualizing marine ecosystems and how they change over time. This endeavour is funded by EU project MarinePlan.
Stay tuned!

The Ecoscope project blogged about my thesis. A neat summary of what kept me up at night for the past 4 years: ecoscopium.eu/news/article...

DDG has been my default search engine for over a decade. It pulls data from multiple sources and maintains no user data whatsoever. I can only support @martinattrill.bsky.social
Today, we are excited to participate in the kickoff of the MOIRAI project 🌊, marking the beginning of this exciting initiative. @martacoll.bsky.social and @jeroensteenbeek.bsky.social have successfully presented their key roles and contributions to the project.

I concur.
Warming stripes for 1850-2024, changing from blues to reds as the world rapidly warms up
The data is in. 2024 was the warmest year on record, and probably in the whole of human history – about 1.6°C warmer than the pre-industrial period.
More than 1 billion individual thermometer measurements, made by thousands of people over many decades, have been condensed into a single number.
2024 @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social #climate data out today:
📈 2024 - first year more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial; for ERA5 it was 1.6ºC
🌡️ the past 10 years were the 10 warmest years on record
📈 2024 was warmest year for all continental regions, except Antarctica and Australasia
🌍🌡️🧪⚒️🌊

Yeah -- I looked into this recently. There isn't a projection ready-to-go from cartopy/proj, but I did find this repo: github.com/rtlemos/spil...
I closed my former Twitter account today. Feels good.

My main development machine dated from 2014, finally replaced it last summer. Even though I had a new laptop ready for over a year, the complexities of transferring over were the main reason it took so long. Where to find three free days?
