#WeekendReading: James et al. went down with a submarine to study #mesophotic reefs and came back with a story to tell.

New #PrePrint out!
#Mesophotic #reefs are different from Euphotic ones, but not only biologically, also sedimentologically. With cutting-edge #AUV and #SyntheticApertureSonar, we can begin to see how.

Just added Thoms Rock to my diving sites wish list

ROV is nice, but diving is better! Yesterday we finally got a chance to dive Thoms Rock in Cook Strait (New Zealand) to collect data on #temperate #mesophotic communities.
So much life in these reefs!π¦ππ π¦π¦πͺΈπ

#Introduction - Hello Mastodon! I'm a #MarineScientist researching the limits & mechanism of #photosynthesis in the coastal #ocean, and how we can use this to improve the future #sustainability and #conservation of our seas!
Current research projects include #mesophotic photosynthesis and genetic connectivity of red algae, and #PlasticPollution in coastal Vietnam
