Eat less meat, reduce your carbon footprint. Headline says "vegan" but every bite counts. nytimes.com/2023/07/21/cli…
I wrote about safety in the field of deep sea exploration and how OceanGate bucked established norms Includes lengthy discussion w/ Bruce Strickrott, manager and chief pilot of Navy-owned sun Alvin, as well as interviews with @SeepExplorer and @CordesLab huffpost.com/entry/deep-sea…
Great summary of vulnerability / resilience of ecosystems to oil & gas: "Given the magnitude of the deep ocean habitats... data gaps urgently need to be addressed and the roles of deep-sea species properly evaluated" frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
Sad day for the families and friends of those lost in the #Titan @OceanGate but it doesnt change my support for human-occupied submersibles like #Alvin @WHOI which took me to 6000m last year. I’d do it again tomorrow!
Some good coverage from @c_m_dangelo on the lost sub. Still holding out hope that the assets on site can find them quickly today. No matter where we go from here, there will always be a place for manned exploration of the deep ocean.

The new High Seas treaty at the UN went into effect! Lots of hard work by @DeepStewardship to get this one to the finish line! news.un.org/en/story/2023/…
On #WorldOceanDay2023, I'm proud to share @9brandon's wonderful article, Dubious Economics of Deep-Sea Mining bit.ly/3MWoxn9 - I point out uncertainty & risk of investing in DSM alongside @more_whit, contextualizing @VictorVescovo's insightful and harsh economic analysis
Happy to be representing the deep sea at the UN ICP on New Marine Technologies and their Sustainable Use. #UNGA

The IRA’s climate provisions are critical to our survival, and proposals to fast-track fossil fuel permitting are unacceptable. They must be off the table for debt limit negotiations. No exceptions. To build a livable future, we cannot default on climate action.
Ironic to see this on display in the building in Oslo where we are meeting to discuss deep-sea coral restoration. “The oil and gas industry learns from mistakes” Do they?
Just realized that it was about this time 30 years ago that I decided to be a deep-sea biologist. Thanks @MLMLmarinesci Fitting that I am on an epic journey of research over the last few weeks including DC, NYC, Sapelo Island, NIOZ, Oslo, then Edinburgh. Science!
Had an amazing time talking about oceanmemoryproject.org with brilliant scientists, artists, and thinkers. Thanks to @SeepExplorer and @RebeccaRutstein for organizing!

Got to make the big change to my email signature. Access to education + a supportive environment is a ticket UP in life for many of us. 6 ppl in fancy black robes shouldn't get to hold folks back. First in my fam to go to HS, college, grad school, now I'm a👩🔬🌈 tenured BME prof.
That's an important message @CordesLab! I also trust in the use of Human Occupied Vehicles (HOV) to explore the deep sea. I would dive again tomorrow too!
Sad day for the families and friends of those lost in the #Titan @OceanGate but it doesnt change my support for human-occupied submersibles like #Alvin @WHOI which took me to 6000m last year. I’d do it again tomorrow!
@CordesLab @OceanGate @WHOI Alvin is built by engineers who didn't violate basic design rules. Submarines should not be built from brittle materials that fatigue, like carbon fiber composite & titanium. Yes, those are strong & light. But their failure mode is catastrophic. Ductility is a good thing here.
@CordesLab @OceanGate @WHOI Classed submersibles have an outstanding safety record. Titan was not classed
What happened with the sun going to the titanic is tragic. Like every part of it. My heart goes out to the families.
I am thankful the families now have closure for their lost loved ones. While deep-sea exploration comes with substantial risk, many countries & operators travel to & from the deep weekly with perfect safety records. This is a rare and tragic outcome for these adventurous souls.
House Republicans: "We value family, faith, the flag, freedom, and fiscal responsibility, and our work reflects that." Everyone else:
@CordesLab thank you for taking the time to share your expertise, Erik
While surfacing from last #OctoOdyssey dive, ROV SuBastian came across what we believe to be a gulper eel that had VERY recently eaten. AKA "Pelican eel" for its ability to expand throat & stomach into a massive balloon-like scoop to swallow up squid or swarm of shrimp. Thoughts?
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! @SANBI_ZA @CMR_MandelaUni @iAtlanticEU
We assembled our first Azor drift cam! Great mentoring by all the @AzoresDeepSea team! @iAtlanticEU project is changing the game of deep-sea exploration in the Southern Hemisphere!
Had a great time at @isdsc8 with the @AzoresDeepSea team! Lots of incredible and inspiring work presented from all over the world! Thanks to the organisers!
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 ⬇️
