Marine microeukaryotes are important players in ocean biogeochemistry, contributing to primary production and respiration. Their diversity and function is generally better understood in coastal regions, and harder to study in offshore locations, especially at depth. The CASHEW (Clio Atlantic Sectional Hoedown Ending at Woods Hole) expedition aimed to characterize microeukaryotic community composition and functionality along […]

This event will highlight, in parallel, the quantitative aspects of Blue Carbon (e.g., their roles in NDCs) as well as the more qualitative aspects of Blue Carbon (e.g., cultural ecosystem services). Specifically, this event will address the ways in which blue carbon has been and can be further included in GG inventories and Nationally Determined […]

Earlier this year, we conducted an online survey and consultation with the broader ocean science community to assess what we perceive as emerging skills gaps in basic physical chemistry training and expertise in several areas of chemical oceanography, especially (but not exclusively) including the ocean carbonate system. In the survey, we asked just for this […]
