🌊 The ocean was record hot in 2023, but surprisingly, the global carbon sink weakened.

A new study from our group unpacks why.

Check out the details in @jens-d-mueller.bsky.social ’s tweet 👇 and read the full study here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🌊Have you always dreamed of a standardized, highly automated and flexible framework to integrate and analyse heterogeneous marine data for multi-species habitat modelling? 🤓

Let us introduce CEPHALOPOD, a collaborative effort led by Dr Alexandre Schickele ⤵️

#MarineEcology #OceanScience
CEPHALOPOD, a package to standardize marine habitat‐modelling practices and enhance inter‐comparability across biological observations
As the volume of accessible marine pelagic observations increases exponentially, incorporating diverse data types such as metagenomics and quantitative imaging, the need for standardized modelling...
