Happy #PhycologyFriday! A few seaweed diversity highlights from beautiful dives around Cambridge Bay, Nunavut over the last few weeks. PolarKnowledgeCanada Museum of Nature ArcticNet




Haven’t heard about #kelp? No surprise… despite covering 1/3 of the world coastlines, they remain practically absent in international governance. Check our Policy Brief in Frontiers with Karen Filbee-Dexter Thomas Wernberg & E. Techera doi.org/10.3389/fmars.…


So great to see some #kelp forest recovery out of Nova Scotia! doi.org/10.1093/aob/mc… 🥰 nice work by Kira Krumhansl


Happy to share my first PhD publication in @AnnBot. We found that detrital photosynthesis is a key determinant of #kelp detrital dynamics and is more sensitive to elevated temperature than expected: doi.org/10.1093/aob/mc…. School of Biological Sciences, UWA @UWAOceans Forrest Foundation



Happy International Women's day! Shout out to the inspiring female mentors, collaborators and expanders who make this career bright! 🌱🌊🩷Eva Ramirez Llodra Melinda Coleman Kira Krumhansl @ColetteFeehan George Wood Dorte Krause-Jensen @TrineBekkby Dr. Anna Metaxas Taylor Simpkins Catriona Hurd


Global #seaweed forests export 56 million tonnes of carbon (15% of their production) to the deep ocean annually. These biodiverse #blueforests are overlooked in the global ocean #carbon budget. We provide national estimates of this C #sink rdcu.be/dIKup Nature Geoscience


Article: Coastal seaweed transported to the open ocean contributes ~3-4% of the particulate organic carbon sinking into the deeper ocean @filbeek Albert Pessarrodona Dorte Krause-Jensen @UWAResearch @NBFNNetwork Thomas Wernberg @NIVAkelp Dan Smale Kira Krumhansl Carlos Duarte nature.com/articles/s4156…

Our new study published today in Nature Communications examined links between marine heatwaves (MHWs) and the health of foundation species (corals, kelps, seagrass) across the global coastal ocean rdcu.be/dKHfN (1/n)
