With a great team ⁦@allanah_pl, ⁦@Mar_Walimai, @Markinthelab and @UlfRiebesell, I am happy to present my 1st author paper on #N2fixation in the #ETSP of #Peru . We report a latitudinal pattern of N2 fixation mirroring N loss. (1/5)

🧵I read this justification from so-called environmental activists against research on climate solutions, and I have thoughts.

No, climate scientists aren’t projecting 2.5°C of warming. This is an opinion poll; just like this article, it’s not scientific. 1/n

Update on #OAEPIIP:

Call for participation has ended and we are now 17 teams doing the same experiment on Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement to identify re-occurring effects on plankton communities. At least one team from EACH continent 🗺️ 🌐🤝
Fingers crossed we get quality data!

Biogeochemical responses to CO2 equilibrated #OceanAlkalinityenhancement now under discussion in Biogeosciences

[Biogeosciences @EGU_BioGeo]

Discussion open for comments on @EgUsphere: Ocean alkalinity enhancement in an open ocean ecosystem: Biogeochemical responses and carbon storage durability https://t.co/VMUe6TnwGf

Relevance, completeness, consistency, transparency and accuracy in #blueCDR . @NadineMengis , @allanah_pl and @Mar_Walimai highlight key challenges and way forward in the context of #Carbonaccounting for #blueCDR in their recently published work. #Carbondioxideremoval

[Allanah Paul @allanah_pl]

#Carbonaccounting and #CDR are two current interests of mine that emerged from this side project with this wonderful team of @NadineMengis and @Mar_Walimai! Very glad to see the fruits of this collaboration are now out.

@scarsett84 And that is just sad for our and the next generation of scientists.

It keeps getting worse that you need to publish to get into a phD prog. The pressure of an academic career is slowly creeping up to the learning process. Soon it will be a thin line btwn growth & learning and roboting oneself to fulfil a publishing quota at the masters level 🤯

5)Overall, the distribution of N2 fixation rates could not be directly associated with phosphorus concentrations and their relationship with iron availability seems to be much more complex than linear.

[Leila Kittu 🇰🇪 @Kittu_LR]

4)Detectable rates were distributed in the euphotic zone above and within the coastal OMZ suggesting a potentially significant biogeochemical role on the regional inventory if this spatial colocation triggers positive feedbacks between N2 fixation and nitrogen loss.

@Markinthelab The perpetual state of academia..

[Leila Kittu 🇰🇪 @Kittu_LR]

Always with Kenya in mind..Thank you @susfari for the opportunity to express my perspective. It was a pleasure
