It's all about the little things in life. Phytoplankton physiology and Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement 🦠
Reposted by Anita Butterley
#BiologyLetters Antarctic krill, small marine animals, have a key role in the ocean’s food web and carbon cycle. A study of their feeding behaviour raises concerns about the impact of pollution on krill and carbon cycling in the ocean. Read more: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... #behaviour

🎉New publication alert! 🌊
We tested how different ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) substances—NaOH, olivine, and steel slag—affect plankton in the Equatorial Pacific🌞.
🫙Repeatitive onboard incubations, open ocean data.

Would marine calcifiers such as coccolithophores benefit from changes in carbonate chemistry under ocean alkalinity enhancement? @bachlennart.bsky.social and I tried to answer this question in a new natural analogue study out now in Nature Geoscience! @naturegeosci.bsky.social 🌊🧪 rdcu.be/d9zdH 1/10

Lucky enough to be joining GEOMAR on RV Sonne for Expedition SO308 across the Indian Ocean. I'll be conducting deck board incubations to study ocean alkalinity enhancement and its effects on phytoplankton. Follow our journey: www.oceanblogs.org/so308-geotra...
