Thinking of @drkingothebeach.bsky.social today: teaching Toomey et al. (2013: doi.org/10.1130/G341...) [one of my all-time favourite papers] and Ortiz & Ashton (2019: doi.org/10.1016/j.ma...) as we near the end of this year's @sotongeogenviron.bsky.social Y2 coastal module.
Figure 1 from Toomey, M., Ashton, A. D., & Perron, J. T. (2013) Profiles of ocean island coral reefs controlled by sea-level history and carbonate accumulation rates. Geology, 41(7), 731-734. Figure shows examples of various carbonate reef systems arrayed as a function of an ecomorphodynamic feedback between relative sea-level forcing and reef growth rates.

Title: SOME GRAMMATICAL VOICES FOR USE IN SCIENTIFIC WRITING ACTIVE VOICE e.g. Our team collected samples and then we tested them. CLICKBAIT VOICE e.g. We collected some samples... You won't believe what happened next! PASSIVE VOICE e.g. Samples were collected and tested. HAIKU VOICE e.g. Quiet science lab. Workers arrive with samples. The testing begins. PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE VOICE e.g. We did all the collecting and testing. No need to thank us. Just doing our job. CONSPIRACY VOICE e.g. Mysterious "Samples" were harvested and covertly "tested" by so-called scientists.

A few weeks ago, I shared with the students of my “International Tourism” course this interesting, but worrisome, article. Key West in Florida has been studying how cruise ships docking affect the quality of water: it stirs up as much as sediment as a hurricane.

www.npr.org/transcripts/...
In Key West, testing shows cruise ships stir up as much sediment as a hurricane
Tests in Key West show sediment stirred up by cruise ships, which can harm marine life, routinely exceed federal standards. Key West has responded by suspending the tests.

Work led by Alice Puppin shows that tidal-channel abandonment (due to stream captures or meander cutoff) leads to rapid C accumulation.
