Last night @heikeSchmitz Louise Dietz David Walker and (((bruceKamolnick))) arrived in Seattle to represent us at the 2019 OCEANS Conference. Feel free to come ask us a question about our #Wavgliders and all the projects they are currently involved in! seattle19.oceansconference.org #OCEANS

RT Scripps Institution of Oceanography: Scientists can predict harmful algal blooms a few days out, but we still don't know what makes them turn toxic. New NOAA grant awarded to Scripps, MBARI, and J. Craig Venter Institute aims to unravel this mystery. Via The San Diego Union-Tribune Bradley J. Fikes 🦔. sandiegouniontribune.com/news/environme…

Yesterday, two of Whale Trust's Founding members, Dr. Jim Darling and Phil 🏕️ Nicklin, were the guest speakers in a symposium of science & art focused on humpback whales at the University of Rochester, NY. #humpbackwhale #jimdarling #flipnicklin #whalesong ow.ly/AImi50x1Ksy

Check out Liquid Robotics at the Naval Submarine League Annual Symposium this week to learn more about the #WaveGliders we house our payloads in. This technology allows climate scientists to monitor a host of ocean traits including CO2 flux, temperature, and even micro plastics.

Currently experimenting with Raman spectroscopy to verify it's ability to identify microplastics for our autonomous microscope. This photo shows a possible Raman response in polyethylene microbeads, since the shift should produce green. More updates soon! Liquid Robotics #raman

It may be our first day back in the office, but our Cosmarium sp. have been hard at work dividing and multiplying these past few weeks 🧪👊 #PlanktonPower #AsexualReproduction #EverydayScience

Chelsea Whyte New Scientist just published this fascinating article on Ellen Garland and her work studying how whale songs are affected by where they travel. Turns out the whales we are tracking with our #waveglider Europa have accents! newscientist.com/article/221512…

#ThankfulThursday To all our social media followers who make it possible for us to be a part of the larger scientific conversation, we love sharing our projects and findings with you all. Thank you for your support! For more, check out our Instagram: jupiter_research_foundation

#WhaleTales2020 researcher Beth Goodwin tells the harrowing tale of the recovery of Europa, the runaway wave glider sent to find whales across the deep ocean basins, rescued near the Marshall Islands. #scienceiscool #whales #jupiterFoundation #research #oops

In need of some good news? 🥳 Since we’re practicing #socialdistancing by staying inside, we sent our autonomous microscope to monitor some harmful algal blooms for us. Check out the crown on the Corethron species from our latest test mission in #monterey 👑 #planktonfriends

The most important reason for sustained and standardized global reference networks is that the big biogeochemical fluxes (here into the ocean) are changing with #ClimateChange.

SOCCOM was established with an eye to a future where an army of robotic floats could be deployed to monitor ocean health at all times of the year, and in all kinds of conditions at a fraction of the cost and carbon footprint of scientists on ships: soccom.princeton.edu

Blackbeard is back at sea 🌊 Well, #ARRRGH acoustic wave glider that is nicknamed "Blackbeard," anyway. Learn how the device tracks the migratory pathways of southern flounder to determine how best to manage the species ⤵️ news.ecu.edu/2021/01/20/bac…
