🌿 🌊 Kelp forests are vital habitats that support marine life, buffer our coasts, and keep our oceans healthy, and Scripps Oceanography scientists are dedicated to protecting them!

🌏 This #WorldHabitatDay, thank #KelpForests for all they do for our planet.

NSF GRFP solicitation out.
App deadlines now in November.
As others noted, eligibility rules for current graduate students now exclude 2nd year grad students. See the solicitation - they’ve emphasized “first year” and “less than one academic year” in grad program.

Awesome work from @orion-mccarthy.bsky.social 🤿🪸
A study led by Scripps Oceanography alum and coral reef ecologist Orion McCarthy used a time series of 3D reef models to track change over time in Maui Nui, Hawai‘i. Dive into the study to learn how this research is a game-changer for coral reef management: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Other people have said similar things on here recently, but a reminder that nobody can stop you from doing DEI work that isn't documented
