Arliss Winship (NOAA) is part of the #MDBC mapping project in the Gulf of Mexico, working on cold-water coral distribution models #ISDSC8 ISDSC8

Amazing mapping session 🤩 Some really exciting modelling approaches to help us determine species distributions, understand species associations, and make predictions for the future!! 👏🏼👏🏼 ISDSC8

Final day of the ISDSC8 - amazing to see so many iAtlanticEU researchers giving tasks, keynotes and poster presentations!

Cordes lab, past, present, and future representing at ISDSC8 sorry we didn’t catch you @quattrinia

Mesophotic and Deep Benthic Communities restoration project team members and partners were out in full force at ISDSC8 this week! Great to get feedback on our work from the larger community, and see how our work may be useful and applicable elsewhere 🪸 #ISDSC8

Our final session - coral #biogeography and associated #biodiversity is in full swing now!

Hurray- a microbiome talk! Sam Vohsen presenting on microbial biogeography of mesophotic & deep-sea octocorals in Gulf of Mexico #ISDSC8 ISDSC8

Fantastic final day of talks at the #ISDSC8 on #DeepseaCorals 🪸 It’s been a pleasure supporting ISDSC8 and taking part in the event this week 🙌

At the end of a great week of sharing and learning. Thank you ISDSC8 CCMAR - Centro de Ciências do Mar

Well that came out of nowhere 😅 Thank you so much ISDSC8 for giving me the chance to share my research and meet some amazing people 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Until next time! 🪸 #ISDSC8

Had an amazing time at ISDSC8 this week to mark my first participation in an international 🪸conference! I'm also excited to share that I received runner-up for best student talk! Thank you @quattrinia SmithsonianDPO John Pfeiffer Q crew for the outstanding support

Great talk at the @ISDSC8 by Poppy Clark on how we can learn about future change from studying past coral-sponge interactions #MachineLearning #CNN #RootPainter

What a week! Grateful for the opportunity to present my research ISDSC8, investigating coral-sponge interactions with the help of the machine learning tool RootPainter! Such a lovely community, already can’t wait for the next symposium 🪸🪸🪸

Last week, several members of our group attended the 8th International Symposium on Deep-Sea Corals ISDSC8 in Edinburgh. Here’s a thread on some of the work that was presented during the symposium ⬇️

I want to thanks Conservatiom Leadership program Conservation Leadership Programme (CLP) and 4D Oceans Lab for supporting my participation in the ISDSC8. It was a unique opportunity to learn and share knowledge with a wordeful community. Thank you.

Recently had the opportunity to present deep-sea coral predictive mapping following some of the first deep-sea surveys in die SE Atlantic, focused on dealing with small datasets from historically under-sampled regions. Thank you ISDSC8! SA Biodiversity Institute for Coastal & Marine Research iAtlanticEU

🚨 Deadline extended to September 1st 2024 for submissions to the ISDSC8 Proceedings in Deep Sea Research II 👈 it’s been a year since the conference and while we miss you all, it’s great to see the papers rolling in! isdsc8.com
