One reason why I was excited to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Arcturus expedition by joining the livestream at @wcs.org's CPZ of the NOAA research cruise in #HudsonCanyon with contemporary artists is because 25 years ago I was on a deep sea expedition in #PNG with my own box of watercolors

On #WorldOceanDay, sitting at #UNOC3, I would like to see countries, the private sector and civil society make good on their pledges for BOTH climate and oceans. We need climate action to keep the world within 1.5 degree warming or face peril for our planet

Congratulations to my former PhD student on a stellar publication in Nature Scientific Reports investigating drivers of Porites coral growth rates in Fiji. Findings indicate the existence of compounding effects between water quality and thermal stress. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
