Check out the thread below for a new ocean colour NPP data product developed by us.
Very pleased to announce that our new data product paper on global oceanic multi-model net primary productivity is out now in @ESSD_journal

For access to the data you can check out the @SOCCO_Science Zenodo repository where we will be applying regular updates going forward to this data product

By proving multiple algorithms we hope that users can interrogate the distribution of NPP to identify consensus or outliers for informed decisions of regional analyses

Here we took 5 different algorithms and applied them to the @esa @PlymouthMarine Ocean Colour Climate Change Initiative data to develop one of the longest records available for NPP

Not sure if anyone still uses Twitter these days(!), but I want to get the word out that I will soon be hiring 2 postdocs (and recruiting PhD students) to join me at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. All things ocean, carbon, and climate. (1/2)

Proud to share my first author and first publication from my Ph.D co-authored by @SandyThomalla @oceanchiq et al. Here, we use historical datasets and satellite match-ups to develop a remote sensing algorithm for detection of multiple phytoplankton groups in the Benguela.
New Research: Remote sensing of phytoplankton community composition in the northern Benguela upwelling system: Marine phytoplankton in the northern Benguela upwelling system (nBUS) serve as a food and energy source fuelling marine food… #MarineScience frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

Over 10 years ago @SandyThomalla classified the Southern Ocean into regimes using chlorophyll-a and seasonality. Here we are able to do the same classification and look at how it is changing.
