Just like land, the ocean has seasons. Thanks to hundreds of robotic ocean-monitoring floats equipped with oxygen sensors that collect data about ocean health and transmit it back to shore, we are able to measure the ocean's breath. @GO_BGC

Excited to see that @Scripps_Ocean will lead the next 3-year phase of Southern Ocean monitoring through the @NSF and @NOAA funded @SOCCOMProject. Together, SOCCOM and @GO_BGC have transformed how we monitor and understand ocean health.

Last week, after months of hard work and lots of conversations, @ScienceMagazine launched a new series—spearheaded by @NewsfromScience's @elizculotta, @scchak and me—about how researchers are #decolonizing science. science.org/toc/science/385/…

"The current situation is undoubtedly very alarming. An event like this is extremely unusual on the records we have in Antarctica." - Scripps Oceanography geophysicist @JaminGreenbaum on the current #heatwave impacting #Antarctica. @lemondefr has more. ⬇️ lemonde.fr/en/environment/ar…

In the middle of the austral winter, Antarctica suffers a worrisome 'heat wave'

The white continent, the world's fastest-warming continent, recorded abnormally high temperatures in July and early August.

Here's a fantastic opportunity to lead a research program on the role of #Antarctica and the Southern Ocean in the global climate system. We're seeking a 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 for the AAPP, based at @UTAS_ in Hobart. Applications close 15 Sept ➡️ aappartnership.org.au/vacanc…

A new study from @MBARI_News researchers and their collaborators using SOCCOM float data has revealed that storms trigger the release of carbon dioxide from the ocean. This work will help improve models used for forecasting our changing climate. Dive in: mbari.org/news/new-research-…

It has been a massive joy to work with Maggie Gonzalez from @LoyolaSES on observations of some of the coldest waters on Earth using @SOCCOMProject data! Huge shoutout to @Brown_DEEPS and @LeadershipAllia for supporting her work this summer.

The world’s first open-ocean study to use robotic floats and sediment traps to track nearly a million tonnes of carbon flowing from the surface to the deep of the Southern Ocean each year. @IMOS_AUS | @IMASUTAS | @CSIRO | @AntarcticSciAus | @best24YANG aappartnership.org.au/under-…

The Argo program recently hit a major milestone: The network of robotic floats has taken more than 3,000,000 temperature and salinity profiles of our ocean! Learn more about the Argo program: argo.ucsd.edu/ You can also video Argo data here: argo.ucsd.edu/data/

We talk about the cryosphere a lot, but what does this term mean? The cryosphere refers to the regions on Earth where water freezes into snow or ice. The term comes from the Greek word for icy cold—krios. Learn more: nsidc.org/learn/what-cryosph….

"This century, rapid melting of ice sheets and mountain glaciers has raised overall global sea levels by around 1.5 millimetres a year. Melting ice has contributed 75% to the overall increase in ocean mass." — @AntarcticSciAus in @ConversationEDU theconversation.com/heavy-wa…

Heavy water: how melting ice sheets and pumped groundwater can lower local sea levels – and boost...

Water is very heavy – and it can move. Until now, changes to water on land have actually offset much of the rising sea level from ice melt. How? Gravity

3. Like plants on land, phytoplankton need nutrients to thrive, such as nitrate (NO₃). Growth can be calculated from their nitrate consumption. A fleet of robotic @BGC_Argo floats from @IMOS_AUS @SOCCOMproject continuously measures nitrate concentrations.
