Please note South African candidates will be given preference.
Junior researcher Thulwaneng Mashifane, @SOCCO_Science RGL Dr Sandy Thomalla & senior researcher Precious Mongwe represented #TeamCSIR as speakers at the All-Atlantic Ocean Research & Innovation Alliance that was held on 21 & 22 Nov at the CT ICC. https://t.co/m7A6UzoH6t for more
Catching up with @bdwake and @OceanTerra at the @WCRP_climate conference in Kigali, Rwanda. All past participants of the XX Dissertations Symposium in Chemical Oceanography (DISCO), Honolulu Hawaii, where we first met in 2006.
@esa@PlymouthMarine For access to the data you can check out the @SOCCO_Science Zenodo repository where we will be applying regular updates going forward to this data product

@esa@PlymouthMarine By proving multiple algorithms we hope that users can interrogate the distribution of NPP to identify consensus or outliers for informed decisions of regional analyses
Here we took 5 different algorithms and applied them to the @esa@PlymouthMarine Ocean Colour Climate Change Initiative data to develop one of the longest records available for NPP
Very pleased to announce that our new data product paper on global oceanic multi-model net primary productivity is out now in @ESSD_journal

Today our Research Group Leader @SandyThomalla spoke about “Trends in Southern Ocean phytoplankton bloom phenology, primary production and iron stress” at the @WCRP_climate conference
Not sure if anyone still uses Twitter these days(!), but I want to get the word out that I will soon be hiring 2 postdocs (and recruiting PhD students) to join me at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. All things ocean, carbon, and climate. (1/2)
Proud to share my first author and first publication from my Ph.D co-authored by @SandyThomalla@oceanchiq et al. Here, we use historical datasets and satellite match-ups to develop a remote sensing algorithm for detection of multiple phytoplankton groups in the Benguela.
@esa@PlymouthMarine@SandyThomalla We may have found one of the reasons why larger marine species such as whales, seabirds and seals have begun to alter their breeding and feeding patterns across the Southern Ocean
@esa@PlymouthMarine@SandyThomalla Seasonal adjustments such as this also raise concerns that the base of the food web may become desynchronised from higher tropic levels, known as the match/mis-match hypothesis.
@esa@PlymouthMarine@SandyThomalla The seasonal adjustments we find are being driven by large scale changes in ocean physics and chemistry, which could impact global climate by altering natural CO2 uptake
