#Mesophotic on Mastodon
@ombialik

(late) #WeekendReading: Sherman et al. on the style and accumulation rate of #mesophotic (coral) #reefs. Carbonate source seems more impactful on rate then depth, also - lots of micrite.

@ombialik

#WeekendReading: James et al. went down with a submarine to study #mesophotic reefs and came back with a story to tell.

New #PrePrint out!
#Mesophotic #reefs are different from Euphotic ones, but not only biologically, also sedimentologically. With cutting-edge #AUV and #SyntheticApertureSonar, we can begin to see how.

Just added Thoms Rock to my diving sites wish list

RT @ValerioMicaroni
ROV is nice, but diving is better! Yesterday we finally got a chance to dive Thoms Rock in Cook Strait (New Zealand) to collect data on #temperate #mesophotic communities.

So much life in these reefs!🦞🐟🐠🦈🦭🪸🐚
