What color is the ocean? 🤔🌊 Earth’s oceans can range from brown to blue to green to red – and these colors can tell us a lot about what’s going on beneath the surface. Launching on Feb. 6, PACE will see the ocean in more colors than ever before! go.nasa.gov/3UoJuwg

Glad that our team is part of such successful project and collaboration. We lookforward the following!

It's #WorldSeagrassDay! 🌱 Seagrass sustains biodiversity and benefits people, but it's declining fast. Here's why we need to protect seagrass, and how #OceanDecade actors like Fisheries and Oceans MeerWissen Initiative HIFMB 🪼 @hifmb.bsky.social University of Dar es Salaam Mandela University Sydney Institute of Marine Science are making it happen.👇

What can Satellite’s 🛰️ tell us about Intertidal seagrass? Answer: A LOT! These huge beds change yearly and differently across all of Europe! 👀 Keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming paper! Was a pleasure to present our work from BiCOME funded by European Space Agency at ISBW15

🚨 New Open Access Paper/Model/Data 🚨We are pleased to announce our new paper in Communications Earth & Environment! Here we assessed the phenology of intertidal seagrass across the North Atlantic coast of Western Europe and North Africa using satellite imagery! 🧵 rdcu.be/dN0ae

We also saw that temperature and light intensity were strongly related to these changes in Seagrass extent. This was achieved due to the model being able to accurately map intertidal seagrass visible above ground cover from the smallest to greatest extents.

🚨 New Open Access Paper in Remote Sensing of Environment 🚨 This is the second use of the ICE CREAMS model (🍨see previous post) to map Intertidal Seagrass variation with Sentinel-2 🛰️ Here we assessed inter-annual trends rather than intra-annual ones! doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.…

While, general extent trends showed no evident latitudinal patterns, timing of peak in Intertidal Seagrass extent was far more variable in Southern European Sites, while Northern European Sites showed much more consistency over time.
