This scares me the most about climate change!

'One of the biggest on record'

Ozone hole bigger than North America opens above Antarctica

The recently measured ozone hole over Antarctica, as detected by the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite, is one of the largest on record, according to a report from the European Space Agency. The hole reached an astounding 26 million square kilometers on September 16, 2023 - approximately three times the size of Brazil.

The satellite hosts a cutting-edge multispectral imaging spectrometer known as Tropomi. The instrument enhances atmospheric monitoring capabilities by identifying distinct "fingerprints" of various gases across different segments of the electromagnetic spectrum. This allows for more precise and higher resolution imaging of a wide array of pollutants.

@TrevToone came up to me and explained his idea, mussels are big news, and I was instantly sold. Trevyns creative genius and hard film making work won us first place in the student category at #SER2023. Endlessly glad I got to do my PhD alongside him and help out with this video!

Congratulations!👏

[Living Seawalls @LivingSeawalls]

There are more than 2500 #LivingSeawalls habitat enhancement panels around the world!

Side by side they would span the length of over 12 football fields!

We would like to see a Living Seawalls in your country! Contact us to get involved!

@gunsnrosesgirl3 I remember going to Tores del Paine NP after I graduated. It was mind boggling!

Well done Trevyn!

@SeafloorScience Lol. Me being asked for help by new post-doc after working 24/7 on funding bid

[Dr Charlie Gardner (also on the blue place) @CharlieJGardner]

And here's another key finding - conserving remaining ecosystems has more mitigation potential than wind power, and almost as much as solar

Given everything else ecosystems do for us beyond climate mitigation, their conservation should be an absolute global priority

"Humanity’s war on nature is ultimately a war on ourselves.
It’s time for the world to adopt a far-reaching biodiversity framework — a true peace pact with nature — and deliver a green, healthy future for all." @antonioguterres

No time to wait. #ActOnClimate

This month marks three years that our first restored mussel reefs have been on the seabed! They are looking healthy and full of algae, but there appears to be no new mussel recruits yet. #GenerationRestoration

To make this decade the decade of #GenerationRestoration, we need to restore our ecosystems and environments. This is how we do it.
