Filling up 20 liter carboys with ocean water on the R/V Elakha for the Giovannoni Lab at Oregon State University I regularly check out the Google search phrases and terms for how people arrived at DSN. A few days ago I saw that someone asked the question in the above post. Obviously, I was intrigued by the question. I think it reminded me that I am privileged to do this. Although I speak of the . . . → Read More: Things You Get To Do When You Are A Marine Biologist?
I was extremely flattered a year ago to be invited to join the academic editors at PLoS One. In that time I worked diligently to develop a Marine and Aquatic Science hub at the journal. I have accumulated what I consider to be an experienced team of academic editors who are both committed to . . . → Read More: Marine and Aquatic Science at PLoS One
In looking over Swimming With Sharks, I came across this video of Sea Shepard ramming a Japanese whaling ship. Appalled is the best word I can think of to describe my reaction. I am no whale hugger (Give me invertebrates or give me death!) but of course those big charismatic megafauna are worthy of . . . → Read More: Sea Shepard: Only Making Matters Worse
All good things must come to and end, so they may have a new beginning. And so begins the next chapter in the history of deep ocean exploration… . . . → Read More: TGIF: Deep-sea exploration’s new flagship
Think of an aquatic habitat as far away from the deep-sea as you can get without coming up on land, and we will find a connection to the deep-sea. River rock = settlement substrate. Kelp forest = urchin food. Beaches = spawning grounds for tuna food. Mangroves = seafood … food. Bumper stickers in the Carolinas say it best – “no wetlands, no seafood.” . . . → Read More: Making that deep-sea connection to mangroves

When Andrea Marshall began studying the manta rays of Mozambique for her dissertation five years ago, she never expected to discover a new species, let alone a globally cosmopolitan, highly migratory ocean wanderer. She was “awestruck by their beauty,” studied the rays, and then gradually noticed subtle differences between them. Species can be cryptic; hard . . . → Read More: Scientist falls in love with manta rays, finds new species
Climate oscillations, even small ones like the Madden Julian Oscillation, can have a deep impact on the oceans, down to a mile deep. The Telegraph UK calls one newly revealed oceanographic mechanism a “freak” ocean wave because it travels underwater, with little or no surface expression. This was such a good spin I had to promote this to main title. . . . → Read More: Freak ocean wave across the Pacific
