At the #LyellCentre we had a coccolithophore coffee morning 🍰
🌊 Today (10/10) is the first International Coccolithophore Day!
These microscopic algae build calcium shells, fuel ocean life, and regulate Earth’s carbon.
#CoccolithophoreDay #MarineScience
🌍💙 Happy International Coccolithophore Day! 💙🌍
Today, Oct 10, we celebrate tiny ocean builders that capture CO₂, shape marine ecosystems & keep our climate in balance.
When Cocco talks, climate walks.
#CoccolithophoreDay #OceanClimate #InvisibleHeroes #OceanGuardians #ClimateWarriors #protistsonsky
Billions of microscopic artists create masterpieces that shape our #climate, feed #marine life, and record planetary history in their calcium armour.
Who are they? ⌛🌊
#InvisibleHeroes #OceanGuardians #ClimateWarriors #protistsonsky
While you breathe, they work. While you sleep, they build. While you read this, they're protecting our climate system.
Who are they? 🌊🔬

oh hey Plymouth
Ready for three full days of coccolithphores at @thembauk.bsky.social 🤓
- zooplankton processes
- particle characteristics & ballasting
- particle fragmentation & aggregation
- the active flux due to vertical migration
- the physical circulation
Detailed theme info: lnkd.in/eksN2UfT
The workshop will focus on the following 10 themes, identified as key gaps in our understanding:
- calcification and the rain ratio
- plankton community structure
- phytoplankton growth and micronutrients
- the microbial loop and solubilization
- plankton respiration
...
Working in #Ocean #Biology & #Biogeochemistry? 🌊
We are pleased to announce that we have opened applications for the International #Workshop on The Role of #Marine Biology in Helping the Ocean Store #Carbon.
📅 2 - 4 March 2026
🗺️ Glasgow, UK
‼️ Deadline: 24th August

Hi, could I be added as a contributor please!
This mornings was definitely all about #ocean #iron - @cmarkmoore.bsky.social finished off the session highlighting findings from Jo Ainsworth’s PhD work as part of #CUSTARD and the #iron and #carbon cycles
This was then upped by Tess Ashen @plymouthmarine.bsky.social who had a great schematic
I particularly enjoyed this slide as a non #iron #biogeochemist - saving as a cheat sheet for later
@altagliabue.bsky.social
This morning we have moved away from yesterdays unofficial theme of #coccolithophores to nutrients with talks by Robyn Tuerena
@samsocean.bsky.social and the #C-streams project, Anna Belcher @ukceh.bsky.social and @biopole.bsky.social project and a keynote by @altagliabue.bsky.social on #iron
This is an incredibly useful resource, #MASTS is the one newsletter that I’ll read every week 🌊
🌊 The #Argo #webODV is now updated daily!
Access refreshed hydrography & biogeochemical #Argo profiles through this powerful online tool developed by Dr. Sebastian Mieruch & Prof. Reiner Schlitzer at @awi.de.
📅 Webinar + live demo: 03 Jul 2025, 15:00–16:30 (CET)
👉 Register: lnkd.in/euVzqrp8
Starting this morning session - in I think the hardest slot of the two days (morning after conference dinner) was Marta Santos Garcia sharing her #PhD work on #Nitrogen #Fixation changes in the #Arctic #Ocean
Back at @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social #ECCI (Edinburgh Climate Change Institute) for Day 2 of #AMBIO #MASTS #Ocean #Biogeochemistry meeting 🌊
@challengersoc.bsky.social @mastscot.bsky.social
#AMBIO afternoon sessions starting with a super interesting key note from @drplanktonpoo.bsky.social
Never thought I would hear diarrhoea mentioned in an #ocean #biogeochemist conference!
As a non modeller I enjoyed @nanophyto.bsky.social explanation of ensemble based models
This morning has focused strongly on #ocean #biogeochemistry #models
with talks by @miriamseif.bsky.social, Aaron Naidoo-Bagwell and Joost de Vries
#AMBIO 🌊
Alex leaves us with some things to think about
- we need a carbonate pump schematic
- we need to get out of our silos
- we know what we know but what about our unknown unknowns
#AMBIO 🌊
The joint @challengersoc.bsky.social #AMBIO & @mastscot.bsky.social #biogeochemistry forum meeting has kicked off in #Edinburgh
Starting us off is Prof Alex Poulton’s keynote on the biological carbonate pump.
Looking forward to two days of all things #marine #biogeochemistry 🌊

First time back at Kings Building since undergrad, had to of course get a falafel wrap, which fuelled many a study session and still reminisced about amongst KB friends. Although the wrap stations had quite a makeover since then 🧆
