Job alert! Mathieu Ardyna and I are looking for a PhD student or Postdoc to investigate marine primary production in a changing Arctic Ocean using satellite-derived data products. Job based @UMI_TAKUVIK in Québec. Please spread the word! 🙏

Many people who work on algae don't think of themselves as phycologists. Spread the word that Phycology (sometimes Algology) is the scientific study of algae - key primary producers, mostly in wet ecosystems. If you work on algae do join British Phycological Society @bps_algae!

I am looking for a postdoc and a technician in phytoplankton ecology to join my lab @CarnegieEcology, Stanford, CA. Please RT! DM for questions. Review begins Dec. 15. 1/3

To help contextualize the newly released #IPCC Report, here's 800,000 years of Earth's CO2 history in 30 seconds.

Off on a #limnology trek to the salt lakes of Kangerlussuaq. Happy start to the day before being ravaged by damp foot, mosquito bites and limnology cuff @Suz_McG @AmandaMerle1 @lucyrroberts

Group shot after sampling last #PhytoFA station of the project! Thanks to a great team @Suz_McG @lucyrroberts and the skipper and mate of (mini) RV Doris!

[Dr Amanda M Burson (Amanda O'Byrne) @Burson_AM]

Lots of mixing of glacial meltwater at #PhytoFA station 7. Note the different coloured waters as silt laden outflow mixes with fjord marine water.

[Dr Amanda M Burson (Amanda O'Byrne) @Burson_AM]

Team #PhytoFA in front of one of the points along the #fjord where #glacier melt enters. @Suz_McG @lucyrroberts @UoNGeography

[Dr Amanda M Burson (Amanda O'Byrne) @Burson_AM]

@PaleoForams All the time.

[Dr Amanda M Burson (Amanda O'Byrne) @Burson_AM]

Sampled furthest #PhytoFA station yesterday, ~160 km down the #fjord. Looking out to the #DavisStraight appears like dropping off the edge of the world without the protective fjord walls towering above! @Suz_McG @lucyrroberts @UoNGeography

[Dr Amanda M Burson (Amanda O'Byrne) @Burson_AM]

First fjord day of #PhytoFA complete! Big thanks to my hard working team, @Suz_McG & @lucyrroberts seen here enjoying a well earned cup of coffee after Van Dorn-ing up 100s of litres of fjord water!

[Dr Amanda M Burson (Amanda O'Byrne) @Burson_AM]

The white poofballs of Arctic cottongrass (Ukaliusaq in Greenlandic) at another lake site yesterday. Seeing these always makes me think the Dr. Seuss MUST have made a visit here! #Arcticflowers

[Dr Amanda M Burson (Amanda O'Byrne) @Burson_AM]

@Suz_McG @UoNGeography I'm enjoying this little double act we have going here...

[Dr Amanda M Burson (Amanda O'Byrne) @Burson_AM]

Sampling some Greenlandic lakes in the hunt for methylotrophs. Pretty sweet serenade by an arctic loon. #Soundsofnature #womeninscience #arctic @Suz_McG @UoNGeography

[Dr Amanda M Burson (Amanda O'Byrne) @Burson_AM]

Nothing as satisfying as a well organized field lab ahead of the first sampling trip! #PhytiFA #learnedlessons @Suz_McG

[Sofia Ribeiro @SofiaIRibeiro]

Are you a researcher at postdoc level with expertise in #Arctic #sediments #DNA #sedaDNA #AFM and/or #Paleoceanography? Considering applying for @MSCActions this Autumn? Get in touch! @KarinaKSand and I are looking for a candidate to pursue a project idea #GEUS @GLOBE_UCPH 🧬🔬

[Dr Amanda M Burson (Amanda O'Byrne) @Burson_AM]

@Suz_McG @UoNGeography It was the one contingency I didn't plan for!

[Dr Amanda M Burson (Amanda O'Byrne) @Burson_AM]

All of the meticulous planning, vaccinations, extra tests, mask wearing, hand washing and social distancing in three countries was worthwhile, first day of #PhytoFA field season 2021 begins! @Suz_McG @UoNGeography
