🌿 Last week, our team was on the ground (and in the mud!) in the Scheldt Estuary
Our REWRITE field campaigns are helping piece together a complex puzzle: how #CoastalWetlands store #carbon, support #biodiversity, and respond to environmental pressures

Advert for Research Fellow post including remote and AUV-based sensing of ocean dynamics to understand impacts of floating offshore wind on fronts and other key ecosystem drivers. It shows an AUV and underwater plankton imaging and other sensors.
🦑🌊🧪 Please share among your networks, a Research Fellow post in #Ocean Dynamics and Floating Offshore #Wind Consequences on Key Ecosystem Drivers in the Celtic Sea working with me, @alexnimmosmith.bsky.social & @peterimiller.bsky.social tinyurl.com/44x66b5z #PlanktonImaging #RemoteSensing #AUVs
New paper out: Hydrology mediates #saltmarsh belowground biomass response to warming 🌊x🌡️=🌾
Very proud of PhD students Caro & Eva and the whole MERIT team
Thanks for sharing, will try to make some of these - same session on the Wednesday for one of our students, safe travels and see you there.
Please join us for the upcoming Open Forum Session by the #Marine Climate Change Forum!
The session titled #Climatechange drivers in UK regional seas and Scottish #deepsea with Dr Heather Sugden and Dr Johanne Vad will be taking place online on Tues 8 Apr at 1 pm UTC.
Wow, that's an in depth journey, but I bet the students love it - super interesting (and quickly changing)!! Every year I find it a balance of hating having to review and change, but also enjoying getting into the detail.
These really do! I always have a similar (and likely not as in depth as yours) every January, and with the COPs each November and global political changes, it is easily the lecture I change the most each year. Bit of a challenge to keep on top of it! I hope your lecture goes well 🤓

Yes please add the Essex crew, myself @ecoevoenviro.bsky.social @charlotte-worrall.bsky.social
All the best for your new role, you've done some great work and I'm sure you'll continue this in a new organisation.
Very cool, thanks for sharing, and pretty different to what we see in coastal environments (salt marsh, seagrass) @charlotte-worrall.bsky.social
