[roundearthsociety]

Also it's funny how the closest thing to a religion tag I have is "biogeochemistry". Didn't set out to be that but it's about the "you are dust and to dust you will return" of it I guess

“I basically told my students, just put the sensors back in the box. We’ll ship them back to the manufacturer and get them tested because they’re just giving us gibberish,” said Sweetman, a professor at the Scottish Association for Marine Science and lead of the institution’s seafloor ecology and biogeochemistry group. “And every single time the manufacturer came back: ‘They’re working. They’re calibrated.’"

COOL

[starlite-writes]

can you tell us more about dr silk and dr tussah?

Sure! Putting it under the cut since it got a little long.

Dr Adaliah Silk (formerly Elysia Soros) is the head of the Aether Research Institute and the public face of IGORA as a whole, as I've said before. She has two doctorate degrees (astrophysics and computer science) and a master's in aerospace engineering! All in all, she's a very pragmatic and intelligent woman who is often seen as friendly and helpful despite actually being the epitome of corporate coldness. She's also quite curious about the possibility of alternate realities!

She has a couple of AIs she's programmed for various reasons! Their names are Azalea (her admin), Tocelyn (her personal assistant/pet fox), Maximilian (speech/language pathologist). She also has Del (space exploration), Tey (repair), and Sar (repair), who all belong to @packedlunchmeat!

All of her children hate her, with the exception of Azalea and Tocelyn. She's a bad mother (not a maternal bone in her body). Most of her kids have been kidnapped at least once.

Silk is one of those people who really likes to bully the people under her but in the way of like. she pretends she's just playing or it's an inside joke. For example, on April Fool's Day, she pays her interns in Monopoly money. Objectively not funny to the person missing out on a day's worth of pay, but hilarious to her.

Silk has three siblings! They're named Lysander (who works as IGORA's lawyer), Valeria (a history teacher), and, of course, Dr Tussah.

And Dr Caspian Tussah (formerly Aurelius Soros) is the head of the Nautilus Research Institute! He's more seen than heard, because he's not as good at the whole. politics thing. He's really just here to study fish! He has two doctorates (marine biogeochemistry and computer science) and a master's in oceanography.

Tussah is typically thought of as the hardass out of the two, but he's actually not. He's not soft, but he's definitely nicer (potentially attributed to his better work-life balance lol). The bar was on the floor, though. He has a pretty decent relationship with most of his employees but he's also prone to outbursts of violence (namely hitting people across the shins with his cane).

He's got a few AIs of his own! They are August and Tenebris, and they're both medical AIs. August is the sole surviving AI from the Coelacanth disaster (and that's a whole story on its own, honestly). He probably has more by this point but I can't remember them right now 😭

Tussah also did the physical designs for all of Silk's programs! He's an artist. Silk doesn't care about aesthetics but her brother very much does. If not for Tussah, all of Silk's AIs would be just. blobs or stick figures. The only one she designed was Tocelyn, by way of origami.

Silk's birthday is May 30th, and she's 38 years old! Tussah's is July 3rd and he's 36! They don't tell people they're siblings and keep it a secret, so there are a lot of bets around the office about if they're siblings, lovers, or old friends.

If you've made it this far, thanks! You might be interested to know that they both have... complicated relationships with two Very Notorious red and blue coded viruses. :)

If you think you know who they are... you're probably right!

The Global Ocean Biogeochemistry (GO-BGC) Array is building a network of chemical and biological sensors that will monitor ocean health from pole to pole. Building on the Southern Ocean Carbon and Climate Observations and Modeling (SOCCOM) program which deployed hundreds of robotic floats with biogeochemical sensors in the Southern Ocean, this game-changing technology is transforming how oceanographers and climate scientists observe and understand our changing ocean. 

The MATE ROV Competition uses underwater robots to inspire and challenge students to learn and creatively apply science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to solve real-world problems and strengthen their critical thinking, collaboration, entrepreneurship, and innovation. As part of the GO-BGC outreach efforts, the MATE ROV Competition offered a MATE Floats! “satellite” challenge. In this challenge, teams of students in grades 4–16 are tasked with building a float that uses active ballasting to descend to depth and back to the surface.

At the 2022 Monterey Bay Regional MATE ROV Competition, students showcased their floats and learned about the challenges of developing, building, and deploying ocean science technology. This program inspires students to explore STEM fields and many of them go on to become the engineers and scientists that are building the next generation of ocean technology. In 2022, the MATE ROV Competition is highlighting the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development and inspiring our global community to embrace environmental, social, and governance (ESG) efforts to create a sustainable future on our ocean planet. 

The MATE ROV Competition was created by The Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) Center, a national partnership of organizations working to improve marine technical education and in this way help to prepare America’s future workforce for ocean occupations.

Algae Perform Photosynthetic Manoeuvres In The Dark

Algae Perform Photosynthetic Manoeuvres In The Dark https://ift.tt/JnYeDUG Hoppe and colleagues discovered that Arctic microalgae can photosynthesize and grow in incredibly dim light, challenging our understanding of ocean productivity. Their findings suggest that marine life in polar regions and deep waters may be more active than we realized. The researchers found algal growth resumed under sea ice at daily average light levels of just 0.04 μmol photons m⁻² s⁻¹ in late March. This is 10-100 times lower than previous estimates and approaches the theoretical minimum light requirement for photosynthesis. As part of the expedition, they froze the German research icebreaker Polarstern in the icepack of the central Arctic for a year in 2019, in order to investigate the annual cycle of the Arctic climate and ecosystem. The team used autonomous light sensors deployed under Arctic sea ice during the year-long expedition. They also tracked algal growth by measuring chlorophyll concentrations and carbon uptake in water samples, The extremely low light levels supporting net growth were unexpected and suggest marine primary production may occur more extensively than previously thought. The photosynthetic habitat in the global ocean could therefore be significantly larger than previously assumed. [O]ur threshold would deepen the bottom of the euphotic zone from 23 to 54 m. This substantially increases the vertical extent and thus the total volume of the euphotic zone in the world’s oceans and may change our view on upper twilight zone ecology and biogeochemistry.

In addition to your response about unis making marine ecology/bio students take physics and chemistry - almost all will do that. As you said, it's to make sure everyone is at the same level, but it's also because it WILL come up in the weirdest ways in later years in the ecology modules (I have to learn about thermodymanics, for example)

yeah i've already had this happen a little bit

i have a module about biogeochemistry, and on the first lecture we did stuff about hydrothermal vents and that came up like a couple weeks later in a completely different module which was fun

i can already see alot of what i've done coming up again but if i see any physics i will scream

Daily turnover of active giant virus infection during algal blooms revealed by single-cell transcriptomics

Viruses are the most abundant biological entity in the ocean and play a significant role in shaping the marine ecosystem. The past two decades have revealed an outstanding diversity of giant viruses infecting protists across the tree of life and, in particular, algae that form massive blooms in the ocean. Virus-induced bloom demise significantly impacts marine ecology and biogeochemistry, as well as the associated microbial community. Nevertheless, little is known about the infection dynamics of these giant viruses in the natural environment and their role in regulating algal blooms. Here, we provide evidence for a daily life cycle of giant viral infection in algal blooms by processing the transcriptome of over 12,000 single algal cells during different phases of interaction with their giant viruses. We revealed that viral infection occurs already at the exponential phase of the bloom and that the timing of infection can determine the magnitude of the bloom but not the fraction of infected cells. We further revealed that the same proportion of infected cells are in the early phase of the viral replication program (13.5%) throughout several consecutive days of the bloom, suggesting that a daily turnover of infection is at play during the bloom and demise phases of the algal population. This may imply that a continuous source of virocell-associated metabolites diffuses throughout the bloom succession and could fuel the microbial food webs. Finally, we link single cell infection state to host physiology and show that infected cells remained calcified even in the late stage of infection, contradicting common observation of bulk population in which viral infection is directly linked with decalcification. Together, these results highlight the importance of studying host-virus dynamics in natural populations at a single-cell resolution, which can provide a fresh view of the dynamics and propagation of viral infection. This approach will enable quantification of the impact of marine viruses on microbial food webs. http://dlvr.it/Sb8wwt

Episode Two of Blue Planet II takes us to the deepest, darkest depths of the ocean floor, where crushing pressure, brutal cold, and pitch-black darkness make this one of the most extreme environments on our planet. Leading up to the episode this week, we’ll discover alien worlds, volatile landscapes, and a host of bizarre creatures that call this almost-inhospitable environment their home:

The first systematic deep sea exploration took place between 1872 and 1876, and was conducted by the Challenger Expedition on board the ship H.M.S. Challenger, led by Charles Wyville Thomson. The expedition led to the discovery of two new forms of deep-sea Ascidians (sac-like marine invertebrate filter feeders).

Benthic deep-sea environments are the largest ecosystem on Earth, covering approximately 65% of the planet’s surface and account for <95% of the volume of the biosphere. Increasing evidence suggests that global climate changes affect even this most remote of ecosystems.

Deep-ocean animals have adapted to the lack of light and scarcity of food in a number of ways. These include: greatly overdeveloped eyes, huge mouths, and being often equipped with numerous long, sharp, inward-pointing teeth.

Day-to-day you may not notice our bioluminescent aquatic friends, but in reality glow-in-the-dark critters comprise 5–59% of the abundance and 10–15% of the biomass in the world's oceans.

In addition to being home to a vast number of deep-sea critters, the Mid Ocean Ridge is also rich in minerals such as copper, zinc, and gold due to high amounts of volcanic activity.

The nature of a deep sea vent is dependent on the nature of the rock beneath. Most vents are Basalt-hosted, rich in sulphides and silica. However, ‘Rainbow’ in the Mid Atlantic Ridge is one of only two hydrothermal vents situated on ultramafic rock, causing more acidic fluid, rich in metals such as iron and manganese, and high in methane. Yet one species of shrimp has managed to adapt to call this harsh environment home.

In 2015, two new species of deep-sea starfish (Forcipulatacea) were discovered, including the first known sea star from hydrothermal vent habitats. This led to a new family and genus of starfish within the class Asteroidea.

Rubyspira osteovora is an unusual deep-sea snail from California, and has only been found on decomposing whales, thought to use bone as a novel source of nutrition.

While they may be one of the ocean’s most voracious predators, even the Humboldt Squid is feeling the impact of climate change. Squid habitats are becoming displaced as they respond to varying levels of ocean warming, and are having to find even deeper water to call home to avoid hypoxic waters and thermal stress in shallower waters.

Squid are the favoured food of sperm whales, and titanic struggles have been witnessed between them and giant squid. The giant squid may also have given rise to the Norwegian myth of the sea-monster, the Kraken. The cock-eyed squid has one big eye and one small eye, and its underside if studded with light organs. Cranchid squid are jelly-like and concentrate ammonia in their blood. This makes them neutrally buoyant, so they do not have to swim constantly. 

There is so much of our ocean yet to explore. Scientists are still finding new species in the depths of the ocean – such as new crustacean genus’ and species in the Abyssal depths in the Japan trench.  While there is much we still don’t know about the deepest, darkest parts of our oceans, one thing we do know is that deep sea farming can be detrimental to those species of both flora and fauna that call those parts home.

Microscopic ocean predator with a taste for carbon capture

Microscopic ocean predator with a taste for carbon capture

Good News Notes: “Scientists at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) have discovered a new species that has the potential to sequester carbon naturally, even as oceans warm and become more acidic. The microbe, abundant around the world, photosynthesises and releases a carbon-rich exopolymer that attracts and immobilizes other microbes. It then eats some of the entrapped prey before…

'Subterranean estuaries' crucial to sustainable fishing and aquaculture industries

https://sciencespies.com/nature/subterranean-estuaries-crucial-to-sustainable-fishing-and-aquaculture-industries/

'Subterranean estuaries' crucial to sustainable fishing and aquaculture industries

Pioneering research, led by a team from Trinity College Dublin and the Marine Research Institute of the Spanish Research Council (IIM-CSIC) in Vigo (Galicia, Spain), suggests “subterranean estuaries” may be critical in managing sustainable fishing and aquaculture — two growing industries of global importance.

Subterranean estuaries are analogous to surface water estuaries, where freshwater flowing out to sea mixes with seawater, but are instead located underground, invisible to the naked eye. Yet the newly published research shows these hidden features are very important in the ecology of coastal systems and in filtering pollutants — some of which have been slowly travelling to sea for decades having leached from agricultural soils.

The research, just published open access in Limnology and Oceanography, uncovered subterranean estuaries in the Ria de Vigo in Galicia (one of the most productive coastal ecosystems in Europe and leader in bivalve production for human consumption) and assessed their importance to the coastal environment.

By employing a selection of natural environmental tracers that carry the chemical fingerprints of groundwater sources on land out to sea, the team estimated that almost 25% of the continental freshwater discharged to the Ria de Vigo comes from this invisible source.

The Biogeochemistry Research Group of Trinity’s School of Natural Sciences, led the study (Project SUBACID). Explaining the significance of the work, and its wider implications for Irish waters, Carlos Rocha, Professor in Environmental Change, said:

“Bivalve aquaculture is a strategic, expanding sector in Irish sustainable development and features highly in the national plans to diversify food production. While our work was conducted in the Ria de Vigo, this area was carefully selected because of its capability to support aquaculture and its biogeographic similarity to parts of the Irish coastline.

“These subterranean estuaries have a high capability to filter out pollutants, like fertilisers, from freshwater. Given the extent to which they supply large ecosystems with incoming freshwater, they have a much more important role to play than many would have believed.”

Juan Severino Pino Ibánhez, researcher from the Marine Research Institute-CSIC (Spain), added:

“We will now focus in more detail on which specific ecosystem services these invisible structures provide, and how they might affect, for example, the ongoing threat to this industry posed by ocean acidification caused by anthropogenic CO2 emissions to the atmosphere.

“We are currently strengthening the collaborative network established with the Marine Research Institute of Vigo to elucidate the functioning of these hidden ecosystems and their role in coastal health and resilience. Lessons learnt in Vigo together with ongoing research made by our group in Irish coastal ecosystems will help to understand the future of Irish coastal ecosystem services and food production.”
