Polar marine scientists supporting development through research

Amazing samples from under Antarctica's Ekstrom ice shelf show rich life on the seabed grows normally and may have persisted there for thousands of years in permenant darkness https://t.co/rWGWqxszxH

New research just out shows Antarctic Peninsula fjords emerging from glacier retreat are far more important carbon sinks than previously estimated https://t.co/9O8gFTY0BT

Want to know more about how nature in polar oceans (blue carbon) helps fight back against climate change? Listen to British Antarctic Survey's David Barnes talking to Researchpod:

How resilient is life in Earth's polar shallows? A decade after massive iceberg scouring nature 'bounces back' in Antarctica https://t.co/Zhbty5of33 @BAS_News @NERCscience @JNCC_UK @SAERI_FI

[ICEBERGS @ICEBERGS_JCR]

New paper https://t.co/RLrNy2sVHE showing what life in #Antarctica 's shallows may look like with 1°C #warming (30 years time?); tough and complex competition for space. #SouthernOcean @NERCscience

International teamwork across multi disciplines push for recognition and legal protection of growing #Antarctic #bluecarbon sinks; important negative (mitigating) feedbacks on #climatechange

[IMAS @IMASUTAS]

International legal agreements could be used to protect Antarctica’s increasingly important role in carbon sequestration, according to a new IMAS @UTAS_-led study.

How do benthic #bluecarbon stocks on an #Arctic shelf compare with #Antarctic levels? See new paper in PTRSA special vol by Souster et al.

[British Antarctic Survey 🐧 @BAS_News]

New paper compares blue carbon stock on #Arctic Barents Sea shelf with levels in West #Antarctic seas https://t.co/5s8GIR78aE T. Souster @polar_biology & D.Barnes (BAS) with J. Hopkins @NOCnews.

@COP25CL should work with @AntarcticTreaty parties to protect and promote #Antarctic #bluecarbon (@rachel_marine @8ernabemoreno @Icebergs_jcr @UTASLaw @IMASUTAS @CMS_UTas @BAS_News @NERCscience @asccc_news) #Marineprotectedareas

[Climate Policy | climate-policy.bsky.social @Climate_Policy]

To advance the #ParisAgreement's non-market approach parties to the 'blue COP' #COP25 should look to the massive #bluecarbon zones emerging around #Antarctica's coasts. Authors @mcgee15_ @bax_dr @rachel_marine @8ernabemoreno explore in their blog: https://t.co/4MPXK3zXwu

Best memories about the recent 100th expedition of RSS "Discovery". Picture by Alison Pettafor.

[Developing Oceans @DevelopingOcean]

#ThrowBackThursday with this picture of Alison, Rees & Dave of RRS #Discovery and others from the #StHelena conservation #team engaged in outreach activities with St. Helena's schools for the #MarineAwarenessWeek. #DY100

[Developing Oceans @DevelopingOcean]

Here in the photos a moment of joy of David Barnes (@BAS_News ) shared with children and the view from up high in St St Helena's hills at St Pauls school

[Developing Oceans @DevelopingOcean]

Happy #EarthDay! Love and respect for our planet starts from when we are young, which is why the #DY100 team was involved in outreach activities in schools once the expedition was over. #MarineAwarnessWeek @BAS_News @CefasGovUK  @ukgovbluebelt  @sainthelenainfo @NatureTristan

[Developing Oceans @DevelopingOcean]

Simon even had time to make friends with another passenger #DY100 #LastDayonStHelena

[Developing Oceans @DevelopingOcean]

Then they were picked up by an old friend – fisherman Donny who had been on the first #expedition.

[Developing Oceans @DevelopingOcean]

With no #schools work Simon and David from #DY100 set of for Lemon Valley. They looked through the common #species present and saw no species that should not be there (non indigenous pests), but a lot of #limpets, #seaurchins and #seastars. @BAS_News
