I feel a little PhotoChemoDenitrified today ☀️🤣

I couldn't ask for a better partner 🥹🥰🥰

Simply beautiful✨

Amazing to see the paths our Ecofeminism project has taken, blending art and science, and culminating in this short film *"Soc aigua"*💧 which has already won some award🏆...

Incredible what can be achieved through *collectivity* 💜🌱🎥

Had a lovely visit to @ceabcsic.bsky.social !

I really enjoyed the thoughtful feedback from everyone at the seminar 🤩🤩🤩

Plus, I had a delicious paella and fideuà by the beach, hanging out with awesome scientists and friends 💜

Blanes is such a cool place ☀️🥰 !!

🌊🔬Shedding light on the aquatic nitrogen puzzle: Photochemical production of #NitrousOxide ☀️👩‍🔬

Next Thursday 📆, I’ll be diving into the recent discovery on #PhotoChemoDenitrification at CEAB-CSIC in Blanes.

🕛 12:00 PM, June 12 ☀️

Today I presented my last findings on Nitrous Oxide ( #N2O) production by #Photochemodenitrification off the coast of West Greenland and in the Eastern Tropical South Pacific ( #ETSP) ocean

More cool results on this new process are coming soon!

Some bacteria and archaea make nitrous oxide during ammonia oxidation to nitrite in well-oxygenated waters, whereas denitrifying bacteria produce it during reduction of nitrate in oxygen-poor waters. None of these, however, could fully explain the observed increase. ‘It was just this weird conundrum that in many cases the mechanism that was being used to explain most of these emissions didn’t seem to be there,’ says Jennifer Glass at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, US. Scott Wankel of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in Massachusetts believes that the ‘exciting’ findings could solve a key mystery: ‘For a long time we’ve known that whatever nitrous oxide was getting out into the atmosphere was made in the upper [ocean] layer, and we thought that was nitrification by ammonia-oxidising bacteria and archaea – but they don’t like light,’ he says. ‘Here all you need is for the upper metre of seawater to have some organic matter in it, and the nitrous oxide will be quickly released to the atmosphere … it really could be driving the entire bus of the oceanic flux of nitrous oxide to the atmosphere, or at least a very large part of it.’

Yesterday we talked and laughed a lot about all the things that went wrong on our scientific cruise to ETSP (Eastern tropical South Pacific Ocean)🚢🌊 including the delay due to vessel reparations🛠, and the food shortage 🥑🥲.

It is been a year since this unforgettable adventure started 😊🚢
