The first time I see a Mammoth net in action. It is massive! BIO-Carbon Eloïse Savineau National Oceanography Centre British Antarctic Survey 🐧

Our 4 gliders are away! We sent off 4 autonomous vehicles that will stay in the Icelandic basin collecting data until we retrieve them this fall. BIO-Carbon

Hard to believe that a faecal pellet of 2.5 mm and am aggregate of 2 mm from our marine snow catchers this morning were what made me happy at 4 am this morning but here we are ❄️BIO-Carbon Imperial College London

📣New job alert! We are looking for a postdoc & two collections assistants to come and join us Natural History Museum Science to work on an exciting new collaborative project with Kew Science sequencing our unique lichen collection.

The crew, techs and scientists on BIO-Carbon #DY180 have all done a fantastic job - and we now have an enormous dataset on the biological contribution to ocean carbon storage to analyse!

The packing has started! #DY180 scientists are busy doing Tetris with all the stuff!

Before coming to an end, a little bit more of the science we did in @nercbuocarvon #DY180 cruise. PARTITRICS investigated which kind of particles sink from pelagic to the mesopelagic waters, and we used many different tools 🧵

Filipa Carvalho and Nathan @nocnews are in charge of the underwater vision profiler (UVP) to image particles >0.1 mm in the water column. The UVPs were mounted in the CTD, and also had yellow helpers (#gliders, not minions 😊) to collect the fantastic images.

Will @nocnews deploys holographic cameras up to 600m to get multiple 2D images to then create their 3D version!

Ben Gustafson from Heriot-Watt University runs the #FlowCam to determine the community composition in the water collected from the CTDs and dilution experiments. He feels he has a TV, as all of us keep asking him what's in the water today?

I'm using #PlanktoScope to image samples collected from the #MarineSnowCatcher. Extra samples will be analysed with the #FlowCam back in @nocnews lab.

And of course, we have #microscopes. The #zooplankton team use them to separate specific species to then measure their respiration rates or egg profuction. Ben Gustafson and myself sneak in when free to pick up pteropods or take pictures of the beautiful creatures.

Happy to celebrate our last few years together at the MBA - to share an office with such an academic gem and a kind soul Laura Branscombe was a dream! Proud to see all your achievements thus far and I know there will be many more to come!!

Excited to attend my first Georgina Mace Centre for the Living Planet ecological debate at Imperial College London 🤩

Today I officially become a faculty member Imperial Life Sciences Georgina Mace Centre for the Living Planet!! Very excited for the next chapter in my career and grateful for the research time I've had. Thanks for all the poo 💩

Imane Khelif is a cisgender woman. She was born female, was registered as a girl at birth, is legally a woman, & continues to identify as a woman. Is transphobia now so bad that even cisgender women cannot be women if they don’t comply with a certain woman ideal-type?

Our paper on the impact that #plastic #microfibres have on formation, sinking & #carbon content of #MarineSnow is finally out in ASLO shorturl.at/3tv8y Work from my U.G with Colin Munn MarineSciencePlymUni and collab. at MARUM AWI Medien, Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology & Bremen Uni 🌊🥳👩‍🎓
