The wonderful Dr Michelle Taylor School of Life Sciences, University of Essex Research at Essex kicking off MASTS ASM with a talk on the #deepsea #corals and Dr. Jess Gordon research

Looking for some light Christmas reading? Our new study with Alexia M. González Ferreras in Nature Communications shows how long-term exposure to warmer environments can reduce the thermal sensitivity of salmonid fish. A little hope for their response to climate change? nature.com/articles/s4146…

Come catch me at my poster tomorrow at #OSM24! I’m presenting work on sedimentary blue carbon dynamics surrounding decommissioned oil and gas platforms. Would be great to chat about anything mud related 😁School of Life Sciences, University of Essex Cefas

Go and check out Hugo Woodward-Rowe ‘s poster at #OSM24 on #bluecarbon of decommissioned #oilandgas platforms

Offshore oil and gas exploitation could not only adds stress on benthic biodiversity but also simplifies food web structure. Come #OSM24 220-222 if you are interested. School of Life Sciences, University of Essex

🌊 Discover the urgent need to rethink decommissioning strategies for aging oil and gas platforms. Read insights from INSITE researchers in this latest article. buff.ly/3IKZ6n3#Oiland… #Environment #Research

Had a blast at #EGU2024 with Amy Shurety and Hugo Woodward-Rowe, and presented some work on Southern Ocean myctophid fish! Soon to be published..👀👀

Finally finished a new review paper: "Machine learning for climate physics and simulations" Pedram Hassanzadeh We highlight the distinct yet complementary goals of ML: accelerating simulations vs learning physics. Share with us your favorite ML4climate papers! arxiv.org/abs/2404.13227

Ever wondered how temperature alters size-based feeding relationships in Southern Ocean mesopelagic fish? Have a read of our new paper in Nature Communications! nature.com/articles/s4146…

What habitats contribute to the nursery function of estuarine systems for juvenile sea bass? More than you might think! Have a read of our new paper in The Journal of Fish Biology as part of fsbi symposium 2023 special issue with University of Essex! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Oil impacts - how marine drilling platforms affect seabed benthic animal communities. Research from Zelin Chen Gareth Thomas NHM, Eoin O'Gorman &al. doi.org/10.1016/j.scit…

Super excited to have received The Leverhulme Trust funding with @stefanako71 to explore how environmental DNA analysis can turbo-boost the reconstruction of aquatic food webs across habitat types and over multiple time scales. Watch this space for 2 x 3-year post doc opportunities.

Our new study based on eddy covariance suggests strong CO2 uptake in the Southern Ocean. Much appreciated for all the co-authors, reviewers and colleagues who provided useful discussions. Science Advances science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

In high sediment contamination concentration near oil and gas platforms, we showed a general decline in total species richness while pollution-resilient species dominant. Loss of larger predators and dietary specialists showed a degraded but more connected food web structure.

It took me SEVEN years to figure out that you can save a ggplot as a vectorized .svg file ggsave("file.svg"). The svg file can be opened on powerpoint and it will be completely vectorized, even text are still recognized as text boxes! No more recreating plots on illustrator!!!!!

I'm looking for a 3-year postdoc to reconstruct food webs from environmental DNA and traditional approaches with fieldwork in Icelandic streams, Italian coastal lagoons, and the Celtic Sea. Part of a The Leverhulme Trust project with @stefanako71. Apply here: vacancies.essex.ac.uk/tlive_webrecru…

Wonderful opportunities to work with an excellent supervisor. Both are really cool projects.

Our students are leading the fight for tomorrow. As our world faces an unprecedented climate crisis, we're training, nurturing, and empowering the next generation of scientists. brnw.ch/21wOYVB Zelin Chen ocean_alice School of Life Sciences, University of Essex

We're so proud of Dr Michelle Taylor of School of Life Sciences, University of Essex as she leads an Schmidt Ocean and Ocean Census expedition to the remote #SouthSandwichIsands that skirt Antartica. They are searching for new species and investigating the impact of deep sea volcanos. brnw.ch/21wRgSB
