Waking up in CA and opening your email these days… 4 Harvard emails before 8am, including one from Dept. Environmental Health. You know things are serious…

He shows that as estuaries become more stratified, they transport more riverine Hg out to the coastal ocean. But finds surprisingly that slightly stratified systems (and not highly stratified or well-mixed ones) export the most #methylmercury (MeHg), Hg's more toxic form. Figures by Cat Sephus!

3/6 🧪🧐 This study focuses on inorganic mercury (Hg) in seawater. By collecting high-frequency samples over multiple years, we tracked seasonal and interannual trends in Hg concentrations off the California coast 📈

1/6 @scrippsocean.bsky.social Pier: since 1916, researchers have collected samples to study everything from water temperature to marine microbiology and now trace metals. 🌊 PhD student Hannah Adams has been leading our weekly sample collections for over four years!🧪🧵

🎼Lab days are the best days,
Quiet and rare in so many ways.
It’s MLK day today, so I get to run an instrument test, and also try #TikTok instead of rest🎶

On Friday in #MarineChemistry, we stopped at this image showing the distribution of dissolved inorganic nitrogen ( #DIN) in deep #ocean waters. DIN/ #Nitrate is a key nutrient for life, but notice low levels (blue) in the N. Atlantic and higher levels in the N. Pacific. Do you know why? 🙋

This was an emotional trip for me. First time back in my hometown, #Baku, in 30 yrs. I met some of my youngest cousins for the first time and reconnected with family. Beyond grateful for moments like this, here captured by the Rob Monroe: www.robertlmonroe.com/about

Untreated #wastewater flows directly into the #Niger #River, polluting a vital lifeline for communities 💧
I had my father (do you see him?) stand on both sides of the wastewater stream to show how it leads straight to where women wash their babies 👶, clothes 👗, and dishes 🍽️ in this water

Unprocessed #wastewater adds to #WaterPollution and #Health risks. This water contamination worsens already challenging situations in many regions facing water stress and rapid population growth 🌍 I shared some images from just a few years ago that highlight a reality from the places I grew up in

Today in our #water #pollution class, we discussed global access to #drinking water and #sanitation. 🌍💧 While significant progress has been made in the last two decades, hundreds of millions of people still lack access to basic services. We dove into some of that #UN data 🧵

🔍Iron (Fe) has a "Nutrient-like" profile, it is low at the surface because phytoplankton 🌱 use it to grow, then it's increases with depth as microbes breakdown the dead phytoplankton and return the iron to the water 🧪

🔍Oxygen (O): High at the surface, drops to almost 0 (no pun!) ~1 km. It is high on top because it comes in from the atmosphere and #Phytoplankton 🌱 also make some dioxygen (O2) when they breathe #CO2. But as you go deeper, microbes use it up as they break down the dead phytoplankton that sinks 🧪

🔍Let's zoom in! Chloride (Cl): A straight line. It’s "conservative," meaning it mixes evenly and stays in the ocean for a long time. Aka it doesn't really do much...🧪😴

But have you seen a periodic table with this cool twist: the Nozaki Periodic Table ? It shows how elements' concentration changes with depth (vertical) in the North Pacific Ocean. Each shape tells a story about what the element does! 🧪🌊

What do #MarineChemists and #chemical #oceanographers actually do? 🌊🧪
We measure elements in the ocean. Yes, the same ones you see on the #periodic table (check out: www.mbari.org/know-your-oc...)! These measurements tell us how the ocean works and supports life. Another🧵
