Really important meeting of the Falkland Islands All-Party Parliamentary Group, discussing some of the environmental challenges facing the Falklands.
Great presentations from @SAERI_FI, @BAS_News, @PlymouthMarine, and @UK_CEH. #Falklands 🇫🇰
ALT AgZero is a major five-year £13.8 million research programme, to support the UK's transition towards home-grown food production that is sustainable, carbon-neutral and has a positive effect on nature. More information here: https://www.pml.ac.uk/science/Projects/AgZero
The many and varied tasks of a Principal Scientific Officer; Andy Rees engaged in decision making, logistics, driving deployments to deck and laboratory work on AMT30. @PlymouthMarine, @CLASS_UKRI, @AndyRees23, #AMT30, #NEODAAS,
From Port Stanley, the Falklands to Southampton, UK, AMT30 covered 7000 miles and used an array of autonomous underway instruments and in situ profiles to validate a range of satellite sensors. Thanks to NEODAAS for cruise support. @PlymouthMarine, @CLASS_UKRI, #AMT30, #NEODAAS,
Andy Mahon (Chief officer), Rachel Astell (3rd officer) and Stewart Mackay (Captain) on the bridge of RRS Discovery. Thanks for all of your support on AMT30 in facilitating a successful campaign!! @PlymouthMarine, @CLASS_UKRI, #AMT30, #NEODAAS,
For the first time, researchers from PML and @Princeton have found microbial communities able to consume nitrous oxide in oxygen-rich seawater 🌊
This new component of the #NitrogenCycle is "a key piece of the puzzle in understanding how the sea and atmosphere interact"
First author and a @NERCScience Research Fellow at the MBA and the @UniofExeter, Dr Katherine Helliwell, said ""this work provides new insight into how one of the most abundant marine phytoplankton groups is able to thrive in feast-famine nutrient regimes."
What mechanisms drive #diatom bloom formation? Researchers at the MBA, @PlymouthMarine and @warwickuni have described a new role for Ca2 signalling in eukaryotes, for phosphate sensing - a vital macronutrient controlling diatom growth and productivity in the #oceans.
New PhD project on "Exploring the future of the marine N2O cycle". Want to know more about ocean chemistry and its role on climate change. Come and join our team @GeogBristol and @PlymouthMarine. Deadline on Friday 8th January 2021.
