Looking for a step by step guide for processing satellite imagery in NASA SeaDAS? @ocronin_golomb and I made an informal guide for processing Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 imagery (can be adapted for other sensors) https://t.co/9qtvxxRndE

no worries if not!!

🚨BIG NEWS🚨Thanks to the infrastructure law passed by @HouseDemocrats + signed by @POTUS, the Casco Bay Island Transit District has been awarded $3,600,000 to replace its aging ferry ⛴ with a new, hybrid vessel!

This will eliminate 1,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually!

Look out for pop-up half shell tastings of aquacultured scallops this summer! @struan_coleman new collaboration with #VerticalFarm https://t.co/ZguHYFnoPv

Water temps in the Gulf of Maine just saw its warmest fall on record. Fall 2021 was 0.5 degrees warmer than 2012, which previously held the title.

Reasons? Residual heat from a very warm summer (second warmest on record), warm fall air, & ocean patterns.

Why is it always classical music? A modern larvae deserves modern music. Anyone willing to fund me to find out if Kanye improves sea scallop survival? https://t.co/kuoFAI6HLA

And so, it begins. This big, anomalous red blob in North America portends the warmest December week from Christmas through New Years in recorded history for most of the United States. Stay informed on https://t.co/DqTUVZvnxD for record summaries and updates.

Are you even a scientist if you don’t raw dog the -80C metal racks with no gloves because the pain of your fingers getting frostbite is the only reminder that you are indeed still alive?

[R Function A Day @rfunctionaday]

Either while debugging or learning a new function, you may wish to understand its implementation logic.

The {flow_view} function from {flow} 📦 helps visualizes this logic via a flow diagram! 🔷🔶

Pretty cool to get a google scholar alert for a paper you are on!

[Dr. Damian C. Brady @BradyLabDMC]

Congrats to @struan_coleman @TKiffney for their paper hot off the presses...if you are interested in scallop aquaculture, give it a read! The coupled effects of stocking density and temperature on Sea Scallop... https://t.co/9xuKUvgI6y

@FarrellUrchin @BradyLabDMC Some trials are all algae (tetraselmis) others are the surface layer of mud from coves

[Tom Kiffney @TKiffney]

@DeniseBh2o Yup, but it wasn’t consistent even within the same box of filters

[Tom Kiffney @TKiffney]

@DeniseBh2o I had this happen a couple times over the fall! it was so bad we couldn’t get the filters out of the tube, but we couldn’t figure out why

The US election is tomorrow.  If you, like me, are tired of horse-race-style reporting, and need to zoom out, I wanna tell you a story. It’s about an ancient force influencing the election. And, as a bonus, it’ll give you an Easter egg to watch for as the returns come in. THREAD

Just another day growing scallops from the R/V Craigslist

Flush a toilet in Morehead City today? If so, your ‘sample’ may be part of the SARS-CoV-2 wastewater research happening in the Noble lab right now! #ResearchUNCovered
