Excellent talk last week by Hannah Mark, now at Woods Hole on documenting thin lithosphere and low viscosities essential to model ice distribution over time in the southern Andes. Figure shows seismic velocities, with red corresponding to slow (hot) mantle. More info: https://essopenarchive.org/doi/full/10.1002/essoar.10510075.1

About 8 million tons of plastic enter the ocean every year. #WHOI has partnered with @capeclasp to reuse plastic removed from the ocean. It's a reminder to reduce your plastic use– and a great conversation starter about protecting our oceans.

Researchers are starting to understand the biological rhythms that sync spawning coral, worms, and other animals to the phases of the moon.

This unconventional #fishing trip was part of a multi-vessel effort to study the #mid-ocean “ #TwilightZone ”–from the tiniest traces of #DNA to the largest Marine Predators–in a particular place and time. Gleaning insights from an arsenal of technologies, #WHOI’s #Ocean Twilight Zone Project scientists are building a layered snapshot of a region that supports the most #MarineLife on Earth. Through the cycles of eating and excreting, the twilight zone food web is... cont

RT WHOI To keep #global #warming under 1.5ºC, @IPCC_CH says we must get serious about carbon dioxide removal (#CDR). We need a 4D observing network to study the #ocean's potential to take up more CO2, says #WHOI President & Director @PdeMenocal in @ConversationUS

@davidho As a Falmouth resident and a scientist, I applaud your collaboration with WHOI. #WHOI #MBL #NOAA #Falmouth #Science

#WHOI is doing some really interesting work on #deepsea monitoring in the ocean twilight zone.

As interest in #ocean #carbon storage and direct air capture grows, scientists are planning an "internet of the ocean," with autonomous sensors that can monitor changes and explore this deep, dark and still little-known part of the world.

Q&A with Peter de Menocal plus his #TEDx #talk and some very cool #video of some very unusual #sealife that inhabits the twilight zone.
