BiCOME

Biodiversity of the Coastal Ocean: Monitoring with Earth Observation (BiCOME). Utilising remote sensing to monitor coastal biodiversity. Project funded by @ESA.

[BiCOME @BicomeProject]

BiCOME is an @esa funded project which will help us better understand how the community structure and function of coastal ecosystems will respond to the anthropogenic and natural drivers in a changing climate.

Happy International Day for Biological Diversity!
It's vital we better understand our 🌍

BiCOME, an @esa-funded project ued Earth Observation data 🛰️ to address gaps in coastal #biodiversity monitoring.

@BicomeProject PI @VMartinezPML is taking part in this panel discussion that's happening now - great to be a part of #EMBS57

[EMBS @embssymposium.bsky.social @EMBSsymposium]

Now: First Panel Discussion Session on “Improving scientific cooperation between EC-ESA projects for the implementation of marine biodiversity and climate strategies” chaired by Marie-Helene Rio and Ivan Conesa Alcolea

Another new #seagrass 🌱paper supported by the @esa funded @BicomeProject ⬇️

[Dr. Bede Ffinian Rowe Davies @BedeFfinian]

🚨 New Open Access Paper in Remote Sensing of Environment 🚨 This is the second use of the ICE CREAMS model (🍨see previous post) to map Intertidal Seagrass variation with Sentinel-2 🛰️ Here we assessed inter-annual trends rather than intra-annual ones! https://t.co/LKKhw8VQq6

[BiCOME @BicomeProject]

Exciting new BiCOME-supported paper now published!⬇️

[Dr. Bede Ffinian Rowe Davies @BedeFfinian]

🚨 New Open Access Paper/Model/Data 🚨We are pleased to announce our new paper in @CommsEarth! Here we assessed the phenology of intertidal seagrass across the North Atlantic coast of Western Europe and North Africa using satellite imagery! 🧵 https://t.co/n5LTzJS6yR

[Dr. Bede Ffinian Rowe Davies @BedeFfinian]

What can Satellite’s 🛰️ tell us about Intertidal seagrass? Answer: A LOT! These huge beds change yearly and differently across all of Europe! 👀 Keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming paper! Was a pleasure to present our work from @BicomeProject funded by @esa at @ISBW15_WSC24

Many congratulations to Shubha from the BiCOME team!

[Plymouth Marine Lab @PlymouthMarine]

So proud to see our Dr Shubha Sathyendranath awarded an MBE at a ceremony in Buckingham Palace yesterday in recognition of her services to oceanography. The award serves as testament for her outstanding contribution to marine science.

[BiCOME @BicomeProject]

This week Tom Jordan from @PlymouthMarine visited the @TaraOcean_ Tara schooner as it moored in Barcelona to re-install a So-Rad (solar-tracking radiometry platform) for the 2024 field season. It'll capture in-situ data during the @EMBLtrec expedition for the HyperBOOST project.

Happy #WorldSeagrassDay!🌱

[UN Ocean Decade @UNOceanDecade]

It's #WorldSeagrassDay! 🌱

Seagrass sustains biodiversity and benefits people, but it's declining fast.

Here's why we need to protect seagrass, and how #OceanDecade actors like @FishOceansCAN @_MeerWissen @HIFMB_OL @UdsmOfficial @MandelaUni @SydneyMarine are making it happen.👇

[BiCOME @BicomeProject]

It was the final meeting for the BiCOME project yesterday. Great to see everyone to discuss project results. Thanks to @ESA for hosting us.
This is not the end! More publications and outputs will be coming from the project in the next few months, stay tuned!

[Dr. Bede Ffinian Rowe Davies @BedeFfinian]

Long day of discussion at European Space Agency (@esa) for the summary meeting of @BicomeProject! Some very cool outputs (watch this space) still couldn’t help getting the obligatory Spaceship photo even if it was already dark! @RSBE2NantesUniv @NantesUniv
