When marine temperatures go up, there’s less carbon going down. eos.org/articles/mar...
Marine Heat Waves Slow the Ocean’s Carbon Flow - Eos
When plankton find themselves in hot water, organic matters stalls at the surface and disrupts transport of carbon to the deep ocean.

New #permafrost #peatland paper! 🥼❄️ 🌿 🧪⚒️
Here, my co-authors and I incubated soils from a palsa in northern Finland to see how the potential production of GHGs change at each thaw stage. We able to connect increases in CH4 to the effect of modern vegetation inputs.

Abrupt Thaw in a Finnish Palsa: Potential CH4 Production Driven by Vegetation Adaptation in the Transition From Permafrost to Post‐Thaw Soils
Methanogenesis increased with time since permafrost thaw, largely due to vegetation input rather than thawed permafrost carbon input
Introduction of water from a thermokarst pond to soil from the...

Following the German tradition, after successfully defending a thesis, the labmates of the #PhD student craft a graduation #hat from a mishmash of scrap cardboard and memorabilia.Check out Dr. Dorothea Moser's fascinating PhD hat 🎓.

Today we share another episode of our #cryocaps miniseries with you.
This time @mack-baysinger.bsky.social chats with two researchers, Izabella Baisheva & @rglueckler.bsky.social, who take us to Siberia on a journey about permafrost, lakes, fire, culture and a dog.

‘PhD hats’ tell the story of a PhDs students research, through the eyes of their peers. I’ve helped make a few of these hats during my time with @awi.de, and it’s become one of my favorite parts of studying in Germany. The hats are fun to make, and even more fun to write about :) 🎓
On the @eurogeosciences.bsky.social #cryosphere blog we started a new miniseries called "Cryosphere Caps". Here, @mack-baysinger.bsky.social talks to #cryospherePhDs and the meaning of their graduation hats. Did you have a hat like this?

Excited to share the first paper from my PhD! Here, we found that soils with Sphagnum moss produced the most carbon at near-zero temperatures. All other soils in the transect produced more carbon, with higher incubation temperature. Sphagnum moss continues to intrigue www.borenv.net/BER/archive/...
