Researching how human activities are changing land-ocean biogeochemistry. Seagrass Blue Carbon #SEAMANS_C 🌱💧🌊🐟⛴️

@Radford_Freya And after all that… a huge thank you to my amazing team of co-authors on this one, especially the every patient and supportive @OceanRics and my partner in seagrass-y fieldwork crime, @Oceanic_Dave.

Only six years in the making…! 😅

Let’s do it again soon? 🙏

🌱 NEW PAPER 🌱

Quantifying sedimentary blue carbon in relation to canopy cover in seagrass meadows - Felgate et al., (2024)

This study also led to a #microplastics paper led by @Radford_Freya.

In that study we found substantial microplastics deposits despite the remote and uninhabited nature of the Atoll.

Seagrass canopy didn’t influence microplastic accumulation either.

@MikePeacock86 Kind of, tho I think it’s Simpson’s if the two groups both operated in opposite direction to data as a whole, whereas here they look (to my eye) to operate in opposing directions. But you see what I mean.

@ap3489 @MarijaSciberras @micheljkaiser Not yet! Still underway, but aiming to submit in October 👌🏼 Thanks for your interest.

Interested in how trawling affects benthic carbon processing? 🤔

Come hear about our systematic review into what we know, what we don’t know, and where the uncertainties lie (w/ @MarijaSciberras @micheljkaiser)

Hall X1 (Board 1.40) today from 16:15 - 18:00 #EGU24 👋🏼

[Dr. Stacey Felgate @StaceyFelgate]

This week we’re in #Belize kicking off #SEAMANS_C, an @OurSharedOcean #capacitybuilding project led by Antonio Cano @UBBZE and @dr_aaron_lim @UCC.

We’ll be looking at #seagrass #habitatmapping and #bluecarbon 🌱 🗺️

Follow along for updates! 🤓

@OurSharedOcean @UCC @Oceanic_Dave @UBBZE @LyellCentre @CZMAIBelize @dr_aaron_lim @UBERIBZ Our @UBERIBZ boat captain suggested a new study site w/ healthy #mangroves, great #seagrass visualisation for drone, wide enough channel for the #satellite resolution... it’s perfect!👌🏼

This is why local advice, co-planning, eyes on the ground BEFORE fieldwork is best practice.

[Dr. Stacey Felgate @StaceyFelgate]

@DrJoseMFarinas I would love to talk to you about this work! We’re working on another OSO project looking at lobster habitat to inform management practices (in Belize), so there’s maybe some overlap / synergies 🤔
