New article out in & where we (Chris Maupin & myself) briefly recount how scientists have sought to understand past year-to-year () temperature variations in the marine realm: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.co

Mainly focusing on coral-derived records, we also highlight a recent article by Ong et al. (2022; agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.co) who add a new genus to the toolkit.

Thing I learned today:

"Scrape marks left by limpets, Aber Rhigian"
These fern-like scratches fanning out across a large boulder at the foot of the cliffs are created by the radulae (horny, tooth-bearing tongue-like structures of ) of as they feed on algae.
The material of which the "teeth" are made has been found to be stronger even than spider silk.

Climate change is causing oceans to become more acidic, which can weaken the shells of shellfish. The issue has researchers investigating Indigenous sea gardening techniques as a way of mitigating the impacts on clams and other wildlife. Great to see marine ecologist Leah Bendell working on this with stewards from the Tsleil Waututh Nation. hakaimagazine.com/news/clamshe
