Great week at #OSM26 meeting up with everyone doing ocean science and presenting my work on deep sea mining and Antarctic iron fluxes. Big thanks to the @challengersoc.bsky.social and @biogeoscapes.bsky.social fellowships for funding my attendance! Goodbye Glasgow!
Also free notebooks!
Check out some of the maps from Shackleton’s Antarctic expedition at the UK hydrographic office stall in the exhibit hall at #OSM26, still collecting data under extreme circumstances!
Getting use to the #OSM26 silent disco format. Things move on when you haven’t been to an international conference for 6 years!

Great to get out in the field (literally at a farm) to teach @earthandenvleeds.bsky.social students how to measure and assess water quality 🧪💧🚜

Great discussions on all things marine microbes and biogeochemical cycles last week at our first in person meeting of the @biogeoscapes.bsky.social fellows second cohort in Santa Monica, CA. FYI no issues getting into and out of the states for any of us.

TMC wants US permission to mine an area it licensed from the ISA under the sponsorship of Nauru. TMC declined to comment on whether those obligations to Nauru remain if it is issued a US mining license.

Evidence shows that science and scientists remain highly trusted.
But genuine scientific voices are not shouting loud enough over the noise to hold sway

Spring reminder, as people start to think about gardening: NEVER buy compost with peat it in (inexplicably still on sale). If it does not say "peat free" in big letters, do not buy it. Peat is incredibly valuable in peat bogs, for rare biodiversity and as a carbon store. Don't put it on your garden!

The Metals Company's proposal to start seabed mining in the Pacific Ocean by 2027 has faced opposition from countries that are rarely aligned on these issues, such as China, Russia, India, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Indonesia, France, Argentina, Uganda, Mauritius, and Fiji.
These meetings are great! Much better for getting to know people outside your network than the big international conferences
