In this photo from 1963, taken by Ansel Adams, Walter Munk inspects a tide capsule built by colleague Frank Snodgrass. The capsule was dropped to the seafloor to measure deep-sea tides before such measurements became feasible by satellite. @WalterMunk_

As we find solutions to the climate crisis, wetlands across the U.S. will be a vital part of the solution. We need to ensure that these ecosystems are restored, maintained and protected for years to come. 🌾

Calling all oceanographers - anyone seen or know of a ‘benthic vortex’ (it’s what I’m calling it for now)? I’ve never seen something like this before. This is at ~915m beneath sea surface. What are your thoughts please? Would love to know!
