8th International Symposium on Deep-Sea Corals, 29th May - 2nd June 2023 #ISDSC8

[ISDSC8 @isdsc8]

That’s a wrap - thank you, everyone, for a fantastic week of developing collaborations, sharing knowledge and spreading love for the deep-sea biodiversity! ‘Deep sea corals are just so cool’ as per our closing remarks. 🪸🌊 It has been a privilege to host the #isdsc8

🚨 Deadline extended to September 1st 2024 for submissions to the ISDSC8 Proceedings in Deep Sea Research II 👈 it’s been a year since the conference and while we miss you all, it’s great to see the papers rolling in! https://t.co/ifUY7VSvLf

Recently had the opportunity to present deep-sea coral predictive mapping following some of the first deep-sea surveys in die SE Atlantic, focused on dealing with small datasets from historically under-sampled regions. Thank you @isdsc8! @SANBI_ZA @CMR_MandelaUni @iAtlanticEU

[Ana Belen Yanez Suarez @BelenOcean]

I want to thanks Conservatiom Leadership program @CLPawards and @4DOceansLab for supporting my participation in the @isdsc8. It was a unique opportunity to learn and share knowledge with a wordeful community. Thank you.

Last week, several members of our group attended the 8th International Symposium on Deep-Sea Corals @isdsc8 in Edinburgh.

Here’s a thread on some of the work that was presented during the symposium ⬇️

[Poppy Clark @H_Poppy_Clark]

What a week! Grateful for the opportunity to present my research @isdsc8, investigating coral-sponge interactions with the help of the machine learning tool RootPainter! Such a lovely community, already can’t wait for the next symposium 🪸🪸🪸

[Laurence De Clippele @LDeClippele]

Great talk at the @ISDSC8 by @H_Poppy_Clark on how we can learn about future change from studying past coral-sponge interactions #MachineLearning #CNN #RootPainter

[Lindsay Clark @LindsayMSea]

Well that came out of nowhere 😅

Thank you so much @isdsc8 for giving me the chance to share my research and meet some amazing people 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Until next time! 🪸

Had an amazing time at @isdsc8 this week to mark my first participation in an international 🪸conference! I'm also excited to share that I received runner-up for best student talk! Thank you @quattrinia @SmithsonianDPO @mud_Iark Q crew for the outstanding support

[Lelia Matos @leliamatos]

At the end of a great week of sharing and learning. Thank you @isdsc8 @CienciasDoMar

[JNCC @JNCC_UK]

Fantastic final day of talks at the #ISDSC8 on #DeepseaCorals 🪸

It’s been a pleasure supporting @isdsc8 and taking part in the event this week 🙌

[Chris @DrChrisKellogg]

Hurray- a microbiome talk! Sam Vohsen presenting on microbial biogeography of mesophotic & deep-sea octocorals in Gulf of Mexico #ISDSC8 @isdsc8

[ISDSC8 @isdsc8]

Our final session - coral #biogeography and associated #biodiversity is in full swing now!

[Kelly Martin @kelly_m_martin]

Mesophotic and Deep Benthic Communities restoration project team members and partners were out in full force at @isdsc8 this week! Great to get feedback on our work from the larger community, and see how our work may be useful and applicable elsewhere 🪸 #ISDSC8

[Erik Cordes @CordesLab]

Cordes lab, past, present, and future representing at @isdsc8 sorry we didn’t catch you @quattrinia

[Megan Davies @M_Davies]

Amazing mapping session 🤩 Some really exciting modelling approaches to help us determine species distributions, understand species associations, and make predictions for the future!! 👏🏼👏🏼 @isdsc8

[iAtlanticEU @iAtlanticEU]

Final day of the @isdsc8 - amazing to see so many @iAtlanticEU researchers giving tasks, keynotes and poster presentations!

[ISDSC8 @isdsc8]

And what do you think about ‘https://t.co/GKVe0GRYwJ’ name?

[ISDSC8 @isdsc8]

Final chance to visit our exhibitor stalls!
