#Mesophotic on Mastodon
@ClaudiaCampanini

Time to re-introduce myself, I am a #marine #biologist & scientific diver.

PRESENT: Enrolled as a #PhD student in the Marine Zoology Lab of Polytechnic University of Marche (UNIVPM, Italy) under the supervision of Prof. Carlo Cerrano, aiming 2 investigate benthic communities with a focus on #mesophotic & #monitoring

FUTURE: wannabe mesophotic reef research & tec diver

New #preprint out!

We understand rather well how and what material is exported from a #euphotic carbonate platform. But what about a #mesophotic one? Looking into that at the Sayh de Malha Bank in the western Indian Ocean.

w/ expedition #SO270 collaborators.

#Mesophotic #CoralBleaching associated with changes in #thermocline depth: Clara Diaz et al. nature.com/articles/s41467-023

"This is a huge surprise. Deeper #corals had always been thought of as being resilient to #ocean #warming, because the waters they inhabit are cooler than at the surface and were believed to remain relatively stable. However, that is clearly not the case"


@HLBurdett

So nice to have Silvia de Juan Mohan visiting @nickkamenos and I here in #Umeå for the past couple of days after she couldn't make it to the #ICAM2023 in August!

Looking forward to some exciting research #collaboration in the coming years, with experiments at Umeå Marine Sciences Centre #UMF @Umea_Uni_Marine and more field observations in #Mallorca!
