🚨 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. -

#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.

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.

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.

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.

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. -

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

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.

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.

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 https://phys.org/news/2024-04-team-potentially-deep-sea-species.html
"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"

Deep parts of Great Barrier Reef insulated from #GlobalWarming, for now https://phys.org/news/2024-04-deep-great-barrier-reef-insulated.html
Climate change impacts on #mesophotic regions of the #GreatBarrierReef: Jennifer McWhorter et al. https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2303336121
"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."

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.

#ClimateCrisis: Scientists discover deepest known evidence of #coral reef bleaching https://phys.org/news/2023-10-scientists-deepest-evidence-coral-reef.html
#Mesophotic #CoralBleaching associated with changes in #thermocline depth: Clara Diaz et al. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-42279-2
"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"

(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.

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!🦞🐟🐠🦈🦭🪸🐚

Fresh personal website, check it out!
Projects and pics🪸🧬🤿🥼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)
