A couple of years ago I found at the beach a yogurt cup in almost perfect state with a logo probably from the 80s. Just a couple of days ago, I found the same type of cup at the beach but completely shrunk! I would love to know where they have been hiding all this time and what happened to them!

I am shocked by the sexism of Google search! 😠
I was looking for an article of my colleague Claudia Wienberg, which google found very well. Actually all the searches are correct, but it asked me if I meant Claude Weinberg! Only man can do research? I only find a chiropractor under this name.

We are back at sea 🌊 We are participating in the MSM133 cruise on board the R/V Maria S. Merian offshore Mauritania to investigate how particles (inorganic and organic particles and microplastics) get transported from the shelf to the deep sea.

Highly variable deep-sea currents over tidal and seasonal timescales
Nature Geoscience - Mooring observations suggest that deep-sea currents exhibit substantial variability over tidal and seasonal timescales, driving a complex pattern of sediment transport.
