What's interesting as the Thanksgiving Holiday arrives? The first @bgc-argo.bsky.social profiling floats begin to emerge from under Antarctic sea ice each year. Float 5905383 is the first @soccomproject.bsky.social float for 2025/26. It has spent 7.9 years operating under ice.

Our new review provides a valuable primer in support of our recent call for greater integration of oceanography and ecology (www.nature.com/articles/s41...)
To facilitate this, we provide several practical solutions to standardize methods and to evaluate ocean-reef connections more critically.

Quantifying coral reef–ocean interactions is critical for predicting reef futures under climate change - Nature Ecology & Evolution
Coral reefs are inextricably linked to their surrounding seascape, ecologically shaped by ocean circulation patterns and dependent on upwelled nutrients and planktonic subsidies. To better predict cor...
