Mastodon! I'm delivering a talk to a couple of grade 9 classes in a month on the use of space (mainly satellites, but probes to other planets, comets, etc., will be included).

How does your work benefit from satellites?

I'm thinking of a direct use of the data, as opposed to stuff like “internet access” or “my bank relies on satellites to transfer my grant money from one account to another” 😄

Anecdotes, rants, personal stories are all fair game 😊
(To the inevitable suggestion that I just Google this, yes, I can, and have, but I want the human element - I want to be able to say "someone I ‘know’ uses satellites for their job, and this is what they like about the tech”)

Hashtag suggestions are welcome.
(Also - question: Does Mastodon discriminate hashtags with different capitalization? Are #Astronomy and #astronomy functionally different? We *really* need some kind of ISO standard 😉)

NASA Analysis Shows Unexpected Amount of Sea Level Rise in 2024…

“With 2024 as the warmest year on record, Earth’s expanding oceans are following suit, reaching their highest levels in three decades,” said Nadya Vinogradova Shiffer, head of physical #oceanography programs and the Integrated Earth System Observatory at #NASA Headquarters in Washington.

Progression of a phytoplankton bloom. These images are taken over the course of 1 hour and demonstrate how fast ocean conditions can change. The dominant species of this bloom was the bioluminescent dinoflagellate Lingulodinium polyedra. Images were taken from the Scripps Pier Live Cam hosted by the Coastal Ocean Observing Lab #phytoplankton #harmfulalgalblooms #scrippspier #scrippsinstitutionofoceanography #oceanography #science #womeninscience

We got home yesterday morning… arriving at the harbour heads as dawn breaks is always magical - especially after a long trip. #tan2502 - a busy day followed with heaps of biosecurity and very busy offloading and media stuff.

There wasn’t such a media flurry as there have been a few science ships in town in the last few weeks.

We would like to congratulate Dr Juan-Jordá who's been awarded this year's #FSBIMedal! 🏅 @mjjuanjorda is a Senior Researcher at at the Spanish Institute of #Oceanography (IEO-CSIC) and her research aims to identify and address the key drivers affecting #fisheries #sustainability. This work directly supports scientific, advisory, and management organizations at European and international levels!

we are at 60S and making good time northwards.... just did a radio interview whilst woozing up and down in the swell - I guess it is a key oceanographic skill. It probably added a strange cycle to my cadence. Occasionally my chair tries to send me across the room... 🌊 #oceanography

"January 2025 - PACE Community Quarterly Meeting"

This popped up on my YouTube recommendations and I thought I would pass it on, given one feels as if one needs to look at US fed gov't science ASAP these days in case it's yanked for some reason...

I had quite the discussion about this Feb 2000 research cruise on the RRS Discovery with one of the expedition members at an #oceanography conference in 2002. Crew were injured after being thrown from bunks, windows broken, and even a collision avoided with a fishing trawler. They didn't get the intended #research completed, but measured instrument accurate winter storm waves.
