Snow algae aren’t limited to Antarctic snows however, as the pink snow in today’s article on Scotland’s last snow patches shows. Will these organisms survive the loss of permanent snow patches in the UK? bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla… #snowpatches #Cairngorms

The single-cell algae that make up bloom communities are comprised of a diverse range of shapes, sizes, colours, and metabolisms. All are well adapted to survive in the harsh temps, nutrient, and light conditions that characterise the Antarctic. #snowalgae #cryosphere #Antarctica

If you want to see what we've been up to with @seawilding and Project Seagrass down in Loch Craignish there is a wee article in the Scottish Association for Marine Science Ocean Explorer Magazine this month. A few cool #images in there too šŸ˜‰ you can read it here šŸ‘‰ samsmagazine.com

Grab a tea (optional G), and fill your friday with this lovely video on seagrass and oysters from @Seawilding. 5 minutes of magical underwater photography from wildlife wizard Loch Visions. #oceanoptimism #generationrestoration

When conditions are right, snow algae can multiply fast, forming blooms that cover areas the size of Olympic swimming pools. Remote sensing allows us to detect those blooms from space and map their distribution on a continent-wide scale #snowalgae #remotesensing #Antarctica

Brilliant few days! And great to chew things over face to face. Thanks Claudia and @monas_nivalis for hosting. I cannot wait to see those toys in action

The Book of Seawilding: Part 1 - "In a small coastal community, not so unlike yours or mine..." - Brilliant to see the @Seawilding story so beautifully told. I cant wait to see the next chapters unfold! Project Seagrass Dr Alasdair O'Dell Scottish Association for Marine Science youtube.com/watch?v=tid73g…

A mind-bending week down in Exeter sorting snow algae @X_Cyto. Flow-cytometry is pretty far out. Good job Attila Bebes is an absolute wizard at it and Dr Raif Yuecel runs an impeccable lab. Cheers for the stay! Dr Matt Davey Eco Snow #snowalgae #flowcytometry
