  3. 🚨 New paper!
    The waves we see at the beach only go so deep, so what shapes reefs in deeper waters? Using the cutting-edge in seafloor imaging, we're trying to figure that out and have found so far complex interactions between bottom currents and internal waves.

  9. #WeekendReading: Westphal et al. on the assemblages in #mesophotic systems on an isolated carbonate platform in the northern Red Sea. Seems to be very conformal to a photic gradient, but not that quantitative.

  11. As #ClimateChange has been driving warming of surface water, it has been driving some species to deeper waters. Easier with things that can swim, harder with things that build #reefs. With corals, one of the issues was that deeper water species had lower thermal tolerances. But it appears that when shallow water species acclimate to #mesophotic depth, they retain heat tolerance.

  13. The #mesophotic environment is often invoked as a refuge for corals and #reefs in a warming world. But mesophotic corals are not the same as shallow water ones, and might be much more sensitive to #warming at depth.

  15. New paper!
    We usually think of #sediment getting finer as we move away from the shore. But, when biogenic and oceanographic factors come into play in the #mesophotic zone, the patterns could be quite different.
    I'm really happy with how this paper came out. It's a very holistic view of how sedimentary #facies are actually distributed, with #seafloor photography, acoustic imaging, sampling, quantitative thin section analysis, and #multivariant statistics.

  17. Looking for numbers on community #calcification rate. It seems the literature has only two options "#reef" (shallow, corals) or "#plankton"...
    Temperate reefs? #Mesophotic reefs? Calcareous algae meadows? #Seagrass epiphytes? Sorry, nothing for you.

  19. #NewPaper out in the world!
    What destroys a #carbonate (#mesophotic) platform? It turns out that erosion, destabilization, and lower slope dismantling all work independently of each other.

  21. New paper!
    We know a lot about export patterns from #euphotic carbonate platforms. But very little about these patterns in #mesophotic ones (which, geologically, they were very common).
    I aim to fill that gap with new data from the western Indian Ocean.

  23. New paper!

    With me and colb. from expedition #SO292. From the Queensland Plateau, we present to you - a new type of ( #Mesophotic ) #Halimeda #bioherm, one that possibly got its shape by #storms.

  25. Research team discovers more than 50 potentially new #DeepSea species in one of the most unexplored areas of the planet, underwater mountains of the Salas y Gómez Ridge phys.org/news/2024-04-team-pot

    "they also found one of the deepest #mesophotic #corals in the world, extending the distribution of this Polynesian fauna by several hundred kilometers... & fields of #sponges and corals, habitats that are considered vulnerable and in need of protection"

    Climate change impacts on #mesophotic regions of the #GreatBarrierReef: Jennifer McWhorter et al. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2303

    "separation between warm buoyant surface water and cooler deeper water can insulate #reefs from surface #HeatWaves, but this protection will be lost if global #warming exceeds 3°C above pre-industrial levels."

  29. Time to re-introduce myself, I am a #marine #biologist & scientific diver.

    PRESENT: Enrolled as a #PhD student in the Marine Zoology Lab of Polytechnic University of Marche (UNIVPM, Italy) under the supervision of Prof. Carlo Cerrano, aiming 2 investigate benthic communities with a focus on #mesophotic & #monitoring

    FUTURE: wannabe mesophotic reef research & tec diver

  31. New #preprint out!

    We understand rather well how and what material is exported from a #euphotic carbonate platform. But what about a #mesophotic one? Looking into that at the Sayh de Malha Bank in the western Indian Ocean.

  32. #ClimateCrisis: Scientists discover deepest known evidence of #coral reef bleaching phys.org/news/2023-10-scientis

    #Mesophotic #CoralBleaching associated with changes in #thermocline depth: Clara Diaz et al. nature.com/articles/s41467-023

    "This is a huge surprise. Deeper #corals had always been thought of as being resilient to #ocean #warming, because the waters they inhabit are cooler than at the surface and were believed to remain relatively stable. However, that is clearly not the case"

  34. (late) #WeekendReading: Sherman et al. on the style and accumulation rate of #mesophotic (coral) #reefs. Carbonate source seems more impactful on rate then depth, also - lots of micrite.

  35. New #PrePrint out!
    #Mesophotic #reefs are different from Euphotic ones, but not only biologically, also sedimentologically. With cutting-edge #AUV and #SyntheticApertureSonar, we can begin to see how.

    RT @ValerioMicaroni
    ROV is nice, but diving is better! Yesterday we finally got a chance to dive Thoms Rock in Cook Strait (New Zealand) to collect data on #temperate #mesophotic communities.

    So much life in these reefs!🦞🐟🐠🦈🦭🪸🐚

    While searching for a job/PhD, I realized I'm more likely to contact researchers that have a personal/lab website where I can find more info on their research lines, open positions, etc. That's why I decided to create my own (next time I want to try to make it with #QuartoPub)
