Because it's been a while since We've had a new one to gawk at: https://www.delcomplex.com/blue-sea-frontier
It's been ages since I've checked this account, which is wild since we used to run a whole ocean science mastodon server.
What's good? And why does the post button say Publish! and not "Toot"?
This year, I took ownership over a massive collection of biological samples from the deep sea from the last 20 years.
The first pilot study we want to do is investigate microplastic accumulation in hydrothermal vent animals.
But we need you help!
The deep sea is recognized as a hotspot for microplastic accumulation. While we are beginning to understand how microplastics accumulate in deep ocean sediments, few studies have investigated microplastic accumulation within organisms at vents and seeps. Access to a unique archive of biological...
I am deep-sea ecologist Andrew Thaler and this is where you verify my social media accounts.
Most of you already know me, but since we should all do introductions...
Hello oceansocial.us! I'm Andrew. I'm a deep-sea ecologist and oceanographic instrument developer that runs, among other programs, Southern Fried Science and Oceanography for Everyone. I work on understanding the consequences of deep-sea mining in the ocean and run underwater robotics workshops for students.
I'm also your admin at oceansocial, so please get in touch if you have any issues.
It's becoming increasingly likely that the ARA San Juan imploded shortly after last contact late last week.
Sound consistent with a powerful implosion was registered soon after the submarine's final message.
a silly science thing
i literally cried when i read this abstract because the idea of the world tiniest bacterium livin in the belly of this tiny leaf eating beetle was just SO CUTE
