#Mesophotic on Mastodon
Looking for numbers on community #calcification rate. It seems the literature has only two options "#reef" (shallow, corals) or "#plankton"...
Temperate reefs? #Mesophotic reefs? Calcareous algae meadows? #Seagrass epiphytes? Sorry, nothing for you.
#NewPaper out in the world!
What destroys a #carbonate (#mesophotic) platform? It turns out that erosion, destabilization, and lower slope dismantling all work independently of each other.

More cool results from expedition #SO292
New paper!
We know a lot about export patterns from #euphotic carbonate platforms. But very little about these patterns in #mesophotic ones (which, geologically, they were very common).
I aim to fill that gap with new data from the western Indian Ocean.

New paper!
With me and colb. from expedition #SO292. From the Queensland Plateau, we present to you - a new type of ( #Mesophotic ) #Halimeda #bioherm, one that possibly got its shape by #storms.
