🌊 Today in @Nature: Is the AMOC on the brink of collapse?

Unlikely before 2100—but the risks are real 🚨

We find Southern Ocean winds keep this vital ocean “heat engine” running, even under extreme #climatechange. But the Pacific holds a surprise…

Let’s explore 🧵👇

Since 2016, the Coral Trait Database (https://t.co/ATdazUPiwK) has contributed to the advancement of coral reef science. However, data on #octocorals —key components of coral ecosystems— was missing... until NOW!🎉 The Octocoral Trait Database is here!👇

The world’s largest deep-sea coral reef has been revealed by NOAA’s @oceanexplorer! Extending from Miami, Florida to Charleston, South Carolina, the discovery underscores the importance of deep-sea exploration.

BIG news (literally): Multi-partner mapping effort reveals world's largest known deep-sea #coral reef habitat is right off the U.S. southeast coast, stretching from Miami to Charleston & covering an area larger than Vermont: https://t.co/KGb2wJMyK7

Check out the latest paper @GlobalChangeBio

"Functional changes across marine habitats due to ocean acidification (OA)"

We combine biochemical & biodiversity datasets & a great team ‼️

Happy & pleased to see it out‼️

@daveaitel Agree that the price is egregious. I’m happy to share this chapter PDF via DM for those without institutional access. I suggest contacting other chapters’ authors via Twitter or researchgate if interested…most if not all are likely happy to share!

🚨In our new study in @Nature 🚨 we processed 2 million GB of satellite images to identify fishing vessels, nonfishing vessels and fixed infrastructure across the ocean over 5 years. Remarkably, we find that 75% of the world’s industrial fishing vessels are not publicly tracked.

The new textbook 'Cold-water Coral Reefs of the World' is out now via Springer. The first chapter contains a history of CWC science and analyses/models of global reef distributions from my PhD thesis – glad to have contributed to this immense volume!

Among the changes the Anthropocene brings, species tend to be getting smaller through time (especially 🐠🐡🦈). In this @ScienceMagazine paper led by @InesISMartins, @maadornelas et al, we explored this phenomenon by synthesizing @bioTIMEdb data in an #sDiv group @idiv. See 🧵👇

[Heather Welch @Heather_M_Welch]

Our new paper in @NatureComms uses a multi-species, multi-heatwave framework to model MHW impacts on marine predators.

We find a surprising diversity of impacts across species and MHWs, signaling a need for ecosystem-based investigations of MHW impacts.

Are most species rare? How many species are out there? Our paper on "Unveiling global species abundance distributions " is out today in #openaccess @NatureEcoEvo. A thread🧵 1/# @idiv @UniHalle @callaghanct

New research from MBARI and our collaborators published in @ScienceAdvances today takes a deeper dive into the Octopus Garden, a remarkable nursery for deep-sea pearl octopus located off the California coast.
