This is false. Ocean uptake of anthropogenic CO₂ is mainly an abiotic process.

@Gewitter_Blitz a nice addition to this weeks reading list

[Ben Blackledge @Bw_Blackledge]

oceanographers on twitter (for anyone still on here): do you know of any introductory data analysis examples for undergrad students? ideally R/Matlab (no python unfortunately) Curious to see what people may have already put out there :)

[Ben Blackledge @Bw_Blackledge]

@green_mattias @sos_bangor_uni @BangorUni This looks great! Congrats to you all

[Ben Blackledge @Bw_Blackledge]

some nice archean tides and BGC implications here => https://t.co/6bTh60ZZTq

[Ben Blackledge @Bw_Blackledge]

I'm glad @simonoxfphys has put this out, for anyone interested in the TeamSeas interceptors. I've seen plenty of criticism from oceanographers, but too often it appears to only reach other oceanographers/Mar' Bio' types.

when things are orders of magnitude out of wack its because a) i did it wrong, b) oceanographers want to do things differently

Applications now open to come and work with me at @sos_bangor_uni on the QUICCHE project! You'll get to be part of an international team led by @LetsTalkOceans, Kathy Donohue of @URIGSO and @PolarGliders. It's going to be a blast!

📢🌊 New paper alert! I'm so excited to announce the publication of my newest first-author paper. Read the thread for my tl;dr or if it's "correct length, WILL read," check out the article here: https://t.co/EttBLfTGOb

First in-person conference talk post Brexit and Covid.. but its so nice responding questions and comments in person.

Models and observations are clear on the loss of oxygen by the #oceans, this associated with reduced solubility and changes in #physical transport:

@cristiproist The un-importance of biological mixing was a constant amongst my lecturers whenever it came up.. It'd be great to see these kind of estimates made more often, even if it's only locally important

[Ben Blackledge @Bw_Blackledge]

Interesting work from some great people

BBC Future just wrote a nice story about some of our recent works. With @green_mattias @HSophiaDavies

Great opportunity for early-career researchers to get int involved!! We are looking for THREE new members to join the UK Scientific Committee on Ocean Research (SCOR). Deadline for statements of interest to [email protected] is 1700GMT 25 April 2022.

[Ryan Abernathey @rabernat]

The amount of weather / climate / ocean science jobs in the private sector is crazy right now.

I'm old enough to remember when there really was no "industry" career option to speak of in our field.

These kind of statements are ridiculous and problematic for many reasons. Here are 3 reasons:
