🌫️ It was a foggy morning the day R/V Sally Ride departed on a groundbreaking journey to explore the rich history of Southern California's coasts and fisheries. Led by Scripps Oceanography postdoctoral scholar Margaret Morris and PhD student Max Titcomb, the crew is collecting sediment cores from areas likely containing ancient soils to explore, in part, how long-term population dynamics of sardine and anchovy species are linked to variations in planktonic communities. 🐟 This research seeks to illuminate the role of prey availability and food web structure in driving fish abundance. 🚢 This expedition is made possible by the University of California UC Ship Funds Program, which provides significant support to enable graduate and undergraduate students, postdoctoral researchers and early-career faculty to pursue independent research and instruction at sea aboard Scripps ships. Sail over to this link to learn more about the program: https://lnkd.in/g8VtNcmJ 📸: Bruce Appelgate, associate director of ship operations and marine technical support at Scripps Oceanography

Celebrating the Scientific Legacy of Klaus Wyrtki We are organizing a symposium and a winter school in 2025 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of two milestone events of early ENSO research that involved Klaus Wyrtki of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, a pioneering oceanographer who made groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of ENSO: The publication of his seminal Journal of Physical Oceanography 1975 paper: “El Niño—The dynamic response of the equatorial Pacific Ocean to atmospheric forcing”, and the launch of the El Niño Watch Expedition to verify the first ever El Niño forecast based on a statistical model using the Southern Oscillation Index. Wyrtki Symposium 2025: March 12-14 Abstract submission deadline: October 15 https://lnkd.in/dJhpJTK3 ENSO Winter School 2025: March 15-23 Application deadline: October 15 https://lnkd.in/dpq_Pe5E

"It's not just HMS Victory that's at risk; any wooden structure, especially those made of oak, can be affected. In fact, Westminster Hall also fell victim, with cavities discovered large enough to fit an adult human." PhD student Cathryn Harvey, a Deathwatch Beetle expert, is examining a 70-year-old replacement plank from HMS Victory's deck. Collaborating with researchers from the University of Oxford and the The National Museum of the Royal Navy to further study the Deathwatch Beetle. The project aims to support ongoing conservation efforts, gain a deeper understanding of the beetle's behaviour and biology, and help to preserve the historic warship, HMS Victory.

All: I am letting all of you know with this post that I have added a Postscript to my first article on my website that has the title of “BOGUS "NOAH'S ARK FROM TURKEY EXPOSED AS A COMMON GEOLOGIC STRUCTURE.” This article was written when I had not thoroughly investigated this site scientifically but in which I suggested a possible reasonable explanation that its shape could be explained as a doubly plunging syncline (canoe-shaped). The Postscript provides links to six articles that provide logical scientific explanations to this “ark-structure” in eastern Turkey as well as explanations for Noah’s flood story and “fountains of the great deep.” Article #1 that has been modified with a Postscript can be accessed at this link: Nr1Bogus2.pdf (csun.edu) Lorence Collins

"As scientists, our minds are influenced by our surroundings, which in turn influences what we pay attention to. As a marine scientist studying within Inuit Homelands, I’m aware that I come not just with sampling equipment and research questions, but also many biases and blind spots." Check out the latest piece from #ArcticFocus on how our field of view influences research.

It's rare to find two marine scientists who made it into the sector on the same path. The unique nature of the development of each marine career can make embarking on this journey difficult for students and young professionals. So, what can you do to get yourself a position in this fascinating and fast-moving field? Read Athena's blog to find out 👉 https://lnkd.in/g5zt9GMT Photo creds 📸 Athena Allen
