Ever wondered about the huge spatial variability in air-sea CO₂ exchanges in the Western Tropical #Atlantic #Ocean? 🤔 Our exciting paper, now open access in #AGU #GBC, addresses this and more. 😉 🌊

Contrasting Sea‐Air CO2 Exchanges in the Western Tropical Atlantic Ocean
Sea-air CO2 release (uptake) shown in the North Brazil Current (North Equatorial Current) domain Strong CO2 uptake under the Amazon River plume influence, which accounts for 87% of the CO2 uptake...

What a brilliant week full of wide-ranging discussions on #Antarctica & #SouthernOcean during the Ant-ICON #SCAR workshop. Thanks @bfiguerola.bsky.social for the fantastic presentation on the @goa-on.bsky.social @soosocean.bsky.social SO - #OA hub to the community! And very nice to meet you! 🤗 🌊

Heading to the Ant-ICON Workshop in Paris next week to discuss Shaping the Future of #Antarctic Conservation?💙 Don’t miss @bfiguerola.bsky.social’s talk on the brand-new @soosocean.bsky.social #SouthernOcean #OceanAcidification hub! We’re excited to share ideas with fellow Antarctic enthusiasts. 🤗 🌊

Delighted to share our worthwhile declaration on #Ocean Negative Carbon Emissions #ONCE, which brought together nearly 100 #ECRs from almost 50 countries around the world. 💙 Thank you to Shenghui Li for brilliantly leading this excellent piece of work! 🤗 🌊

Eu já assisti a tantos filmes de terror e suspense que sou completamente cabreiro com várias coisas. Por exemplo, fui caminhar na floresta e montanha em Tromsø e levei um alicate de unha, porque vai que aparece um doido assassino por lá… na minha cabeça o alicate de unha salvaria minha vida. 🆘

So delighted to see this paper out! 😍
New paper on carbonate system released!!

In this study led by @tmonteiro.bsky.social, we reveal key #physical and #biogeochemical processes controlling the spatial variability of the marine carbonate system across a broad area of the #SouthernOcean! 🌊

Look who’s stepped out of those brilliant polar biogeochemistry papers and ended up right here beside me! 😍 I’m absolutely delighted about this fantastic opportunity to have some fun while collaborating with and learning from Libby Jones over the coming months. 🤗

After crossing 101º of latitude, around 13,000 km and some countries, from the far south of Brazil to the far north of Norway, I’ve finally arrived in beautiful, and now brilliantly sunlit, Tromsø. So excited for what lies ahead over the coming months of the boreal summer! 🥰

It’s been a fantastic start and I’m so happy to be part of this exciting group. Looking forward to what’s to come! 🥰🤗
It was really nice to meet you all! @tmonteiro.bsky.social @pablotrucco.bsky.social
It was great to meet everyone in the first meeting of the new Ocean Acidification Hub for the Southern Ocean @soosocean.bsky.social and be part of such an awesome team. Looking forward to getting things going and building some great collaborations!
Stay tuned for news:

Explorar petróleo na foz do rio Amazonas em 2025 é como ter insistido no óleo de baleia para acender candeeiros no início do século XX, com a luz elétrica já em ascensão. Além de toda a importante preocupação ambiental, é BURRICE!

I've been struggling to keep my enthusiasm in academia filled with frustrations and injustices. But today, I received a review with valuable criticisms and enriching suggestions that will greatly improve my paper and foster deep discussions.

I’m so delighted to have this enthusiastic opportunity to help promote our understanding of #oceanacidification in the #SouthernOcean and strengthen communication & collaboration between #APECS, @goa-on.bsky.social, & @soosocean.bsky.social 🌊 🥰 Many thanks for this, I’m keen to get stuck in! 🤗💙
👏The new SO-OA Hub proudly welcomes its first ECR Representative, @tmonteiro.bsky.social!
As an oceanographer at FURG, Thiago will help set-up the hub & drive comms & collaboration between APECS, @goa-on.bsky.social & SOOS. 🌊💙

Join us in congratulating him: soos.aq/news/so-oa-h...

É impossível que um cientista não queira mostrar seus achados aos pares (publicando artigos) ou falar sobre sua pesquisa (divulgando a ciência). Por isso, a Pós-Graduação deve concentrar esforços na formação de cientistas com uma base filosófica e ética sólida e não apenas na publicação de artigos.

If you want to know how concerned to be about climate change, talk to a climate scientist. Very.

If you want to know how concerned to be about the rise of fascism, talk to a historian. The ones I’ve spoken to are as concerned about our time as any other time in the last 100 years.

Very nice and efficient paper came out, featuring elegant figures, as the reviewer said! 🗣️ 🌊

Se você tem uma sólida formação científica, baseada em filosofia e ética e não apenas na especialidade, é quase impossível sucumbir à vaidade, simplesmente porque isso é constrangedor.

So excited to talk and hear about #science in the coming days in such a wonderful place!🥰
Many thanks @agenciafapesp.bsky.social for this fantastic opportunity! 🤗

Out today on Netflix…! New documentary series “Our Oceans”, narrated by Barack Obama. Very pleased to have contributed as scientific consultant. 🌊

Routine observations are not exciting. Yet, measurements of surface ocean partial pressure of CO₂ (pCO₂; think of this as concentration) are important for determining annual ocean CO₂ uptake. It's alarming that the number of observations has been decreasing. 🌊

A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting.

Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.

It seems like a horcrux of our planet’s ocean and climate knowledge… because it actually is! 😍
