I don't even have to read the below in detail, I agree already. I'm a strong advocate for in situ sensing and data collection and long-term studies are essential to detect trends or #ocean change. It's the data that underpins any model or simulation.
#fieldwork is the backbone of #discovery.

(a) The raised beds on June 15, 2023. (b) The Three Sisters planting design typically forms a large circular shape with maize/bean mounds interspersed with squash. In our study, the Three Sisters were established in raised beds by planting four maize seeds in a 6-in. (15.2 cm) square each with a bean plant 3 in. (7.6 cm) toward the edge of the bed on a diagonal with the center of the maize square. Maize/bean squares were spaced 4 ft (1.2 m) apart within each row. Squash seeds were planted in pairs between each maize/bean square.
I'm very happy to share with you the results of a collaborative experiment between the Catawba Indian Nation and faculty, staff, and students at Davidson College.

New research reveals the evolutionary history of brown seaweeds | Marine Biological Association
A new study has shed light on the evolution of underwater forests, which play a crucial role in capturing and storing carbon dioxide and the resilience of
MBA Senior Research Fellow Dr Glen Wheeler and PhD Student Ellie Murphy have contributed to an exciting new study revealing #genomic innovations that have enabled brown #algae (Phaeophyceae) to sense and respond to their environment!
