#Mesophotic on Mastodon
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.
#ClimateCrisis: Scientists discover deepest known evidence of #coral reef bleaching https://phys.org/news/2023-10-scientists-deepest-evidence-coral-reef.html
#Mesophotic #CoralBleaching associated with changes in #thermocline depth: Clara Diaz et al. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-42279-2
"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"
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!

New #paper! (#OpenAccess)
Coralline algae reefs thrive at the limits of sunlight exposure. They do this with a highly flexible photoacclimatory strategy, utilising whatever light they receive

(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.
