New paper on ocean biophysics combining profiling Bio-Argo floats and satellites

-Positive phytoplankton accumulation rates are associated with elevated geostrophic strain and quasigeostrophic upwelling

-Averaged Lagrangian derivatives at straining fronts include positive accumulation rates and a shoaling mixed layer on the less dense side

-Frontal dynamics drive increases in phytoplankton biomass by accelerating cell division rates
primarily through increased available light

The #Evolutionary #QuantitativeGenetics Workshop for 2023 is taking place at #UWashington's Friday Harbor Laboratories from June 4-10. The workshop will review the basics of theory in the field of evolutionary quantitative genetics and its connections to evolution observed at various time scales. Application deadline is March 31.

Intro with hashtags: Expert Textpert. Adjunct Prof, #English, National U, San Diego, after 10 years #teaching college #composition & 35 years in ed #publishing (tests, books, software). PhD in English from #UWashington (#rhetoric & #Shakespeare). Since a child I've been fascinated by #marionettes, #waxmuseums, #dodos. Recent interests include biblical authorship & colonial American history. Now watching "His Dark Materials" on HBO. Now reading "Quichotte" by Salman Rushdie.
