Underwater photographer Brian Skerry encountered this white #shark while diving off of Maine earlier this month. It's not exactly new shark territory, but #WHOI's Camrin Braun says warming temps are pushing the species north.

Rare image of great white shark captured off the coast of Maine
National Geographic photographer Brian Skerry has logged more than 10,000 hours under water—but he's never before snapped a photo of a great white in Maine before.

A new observational benchmark for equatorial upwelling
@usclivar.bsky.social Research Highlight
Our general tendency to underestimate equatorial upwelling may offer a clue into the disagreement between historical trends and climate model simulations of Pacific SSTs.
