A Unique San Francisco Bay Marine Lab Faces Closure. It Has Days to Raise Millions

San Francisco State University, which operates the Estuary and Ocean Science Center, has said it can no longer afford to keep the doors open, but $10 million could avert its closure.

@CorinnaBaldauf To separate "regions" of objects spread out on a table, while discussing (was reminded today of this when reading a post about #Estuarine mapping, they used phone charging cables).

#Fabric ribbons have a life of their own, warping because of their inner tension, so they don't work for me.

#Washi tape stays in place, of course, but it isn't reusable and it takes time to "shift" a line around on a table. They're fine for documenting a final result hanging from a wall, though.

The key to weathering rapid sea-level rise may lie in a Massachusetts salt marsh

A team of researchers led by Brian Yellen, research professor of earth, geographic and climate sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, recently announced in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface that salt marshes, critical habitats threatened by rapid sea-level rise, may in fact thrive despite higher water levels. The key factor that determines whether salt marshes collapse or flourish involves not water, but sediment.

70,000 years ago were people at #BlombosCave focusing on #terrestrial animals? Exploiting fish from #estuarine environments? And was there a #seasonal component?

Based on Gökürk et al. 2023, seasonality of resources around the site may have been more pronounced? Very excited for their future work!

Conscious of an ever present sense of stressful urgency to resolve "problems" of the Anthropocene. Like the volatilities of a mountain stream eroding the mountain. So few still consider those quieter acts in deeper waters, mud floors, where real richness lays. Where we humans can't "see" so well in the murk. Difficult emotions. Value conflicts. Where the sturgeon spend key moments strengthening their wellbeing before the great upstream and eternally risky swim. #estuarine #ecophilosophy #rivers
