Ivana Cerovečki and I published our first paper looking into Subantarctic Mode Water biogeochemical properties during formation and their link to climate variability: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2022AV000722. The paper had a nice highlight in Eos as well:
NOAA announced their recent awards for climate related research, including our proposed work developing unified BGC Argo datasets and exploring long-term biogeochemical changes in the Southern Ocean: https://cpo.noaa.gov/Funding-Opportunities/FY2021-Recipients
UH News and SOEST news took the opportunity to put out a nice story linking together our recent awards and how they work together to further our understanding of ocean biogeochemical cycles and their importance to long-term carbon cycle changes in the ocean: https://www.hawaii.edu/news/2021/10/15/ocean-floats-satellites-grants/
Graduate student Shannon McClish’s proposal was recently selected for the 2021 Future Investigators in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology (FINESST) competition. Her project, “Characterizing the Impact of Seasonal Sea Ice on Phytoplankton Blooms and Net Community Production with Integrated Satellite and Biogeochemical Profiling Float
Observations” will support her exciting work in the seasonal sea ice region of the Southern Ocean. Congrats Shannon!
I was chosen to join the RBR2020 Cohort – a group of early career scientists who use autonomous sensors in a variety of novel ways. Looking forward to learning from fellow cohort members and working with RBR engineers on some of my long-standing sensor questions and concerns.
I’m happy to report that I have joined the Ocean Carbon & Biogeochemistry Scientific Steering Committee as their Early Career member. Looking forward to serving on the committee, learning more about scientific decision making, and helping out the community.
Our paper just published at GBC on a new Southern Ocean CO2 flux estimate was highlighted in Eos this week: https://eos.org/research-spotlights/ship-based-measurements-overestimate-southern-ocean-carbon-sink.
