This week @SirenRuehs participated in DRAKKAR and @project_IMMERSEI meetings in Grenoble, discussing new developments of the ocean model #NEMO, and specifically how the inclusion of wave impacts can benefit Lagrangian simulations.

Woohoo! I'm super-happy and -excited to soon start my new NWO Nieuws #Vici project on "Tracing Marine Macroplastics by Unraveling the Ocean’s Multiscale Transport Processes", with UFollowtheOcean and @denoordzee uu.nl/en/news/seven-…

Congratulations to @SirenRuehs for receiving a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions postdoc fellowship at Institute for Marine and Atmospheric research Faculty of Science, Utrecht University 🥳🥳 She'll virtually track water parcels to understand how the exchange of heat🔥 and salt🧂 between the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans impacts future #climate projections🌊🌡️

We've made a lot of progress in our group in understanding how plastics spread through the ocean, but we also investigate other ocean processes. Some are climate-related, so it's good to participate in related discussions!

We're hiring! Check out edu.nl/g4b4x if you're interested to ✅measure how marine plastic ends up on North Sea beaches ✅develop novel ocean trackers and lead a field campaign ✅obtain a PhD in oceanography ✅work with the UFollowtheOcean team Institute for Marine and Atmospheric research

This week Aike Vonk gave a presentation about frames and narratives in #ocean science communication 👩‍💼. We had a nice discussion about the role of scientists in #ScienceCommunication and shared our experiences with communicating ocean research.

Last week Darshika Manral and Laura Gomez Navarro attended #ASLO23 and presented their studies: 🐢🌡️“Lagrangian transport of cold stunned Kemp’s ridley turtles stranding on the Dutch coast” 🌊🌀“Impact of high-frequency motions on oceanic surface dispersion” #ASLO2023

This week part of the team had a group hacking afternoon 👨‍💻👩‍💻 #TeamWork

This month we welcome Michael Denes to our team! He will be working as postdoc on numerical modelling of marine plastic pollution and its sources within the NECCTON project.
