β DOSI Day 2025 β
Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday for a brilliant DOSI Day at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology!
The deep sea is Earth's final frontierβcovering more than 60% of the planet's surface, it's a vast, dark, and largely unexplored world teeming with life. Despite its remoteness, the deep sea regulates global climate, supports unique ecosystems, and holds untold scientific discoveries.
Today's feels. Furiously working to deliver the first draft of my thesis before I leave for Italy on Thursday π΅βπ«π
Paper out! Quantifying POPs in grenadiers and sediments from the CCZ ππ led by Dana Sackett π
'Persistent organic pollutant accumulation in Pacific abyssal plain sediments and biota: Implications for sources, transport, and deep-sea mining'

The famous explorer (and my friend) Victor Vescovo continues his financial, technical, & technological critique of #DeepSeaMining, making the case that the non-environmental aspects will make it fail, and that technology has moved on from making it viable.

Hello! Please share broadly: Iβm looking for a PhD for Fall β25. Mainly not in US. My interests lie in ecotoxicology, community ecology, and aquatic ecosystems, but herps ππ¦πΈπ’ are my passion. My masters work has involved macrophytes, daphnia, and pesticides. DM me for more info + my CV. Thanks! π§ͺ

It was another frosty day in Edinburgh, and I was excited to share insights with 4th year undergrads in my first guest lecture on the deep-sea and the complex issues around deep-sea mining.
Sharing knowledge is vital to shaping informed policies and engaging stakeholders to protect the deep sea πβ€οΈ
π Dive into this week's Deep Sea Round-Up! π

I am thrilled to share my next adventure with COBRA 2025! I have accepted a place on the Crustal Ocean Biosphere Research Accelerator 2025 Fellowship and Master Class, hosted by Bigelow Lab π Looking forward to sharing and collaborating with a diverse and driven group of ECRs π
#COBRA2025
π The #DeepOcean, the biggest COβ absorber & heat bufferβbut how much do we really know about it? DOSI is spotlighting critical knowledge gaps in IPCC reports & calling for deeper research into ocean deoxygenation, fisheries, carbon cycles & more.
