We got a new paper out!
The Late Miocene Mediterranean had some stark gradients from east to west. But did they have any effect on the biology? The ecology? Reefs?
We show it did!

One of the sneaky feedback loops which renforce climate change is the replacement of ecological communities that remove carbon (like kelp) with others (like ascidians), which release greenhouse gases, due to warming.

The rise and expansion of reef systems in the Indo-Pacific during the warm and CO2 high Miocene (and decline in the aftermath) will never stop being puzzling to me. Now we have evidence that it also had the biodiversity effects expected.

Shore Daily News: New tool to track oyster trends. “What sets this version apart is its interactivity. Instead of static charts, users can explore a live map with a time slider, watching oyster populations change year by year. The system allows users to zoom in from the bay level to individual reefs, and switch between data layers like juvenile oysters, market-size oysters, and shell volume.”

‘It’s a catastrophe’: Wellington rages as millions of litres of raw sewage pour into ocean

Abandoned beaches, public health warning signs and seagulls eating human waste are now features of the popular coastline in #NewZealand

"A tide of anger is rising in New Zealand’s capital, Wellington, as the city’s toilets continue to flush directly into the ocean more than two weeks after the catastrophic collapse of its wastewater treatment plant.

"Millions of litres of raw and partially screened sewage have been pouring into pristine #reefs and a #MarineReserve along the south coast daily since 4 February, prompting a national inquiry, as the authorities struggle to get the decimated plant operational.

"Abandoned beaches, public health warning signs and seagulls eating human waste are now features of the popular coastline, with the environmental disaster zone adjacent to the airport where thousands of international visitors alight every day.

"Fears for the safety of marine #ecosystems – including vulnerable species such as the little blue penguin, or #kororā, which nest along the shore – are mixed with concerns over the length and cost of disruption to those who depend on the coast for income, wellness, and recreation.

"As a southerly storm whipped through the lower North Island and churned up polluted seawater this week, hundreds of residents turned out to a public meeting to seek answers.

" 'They’re warning us to close our windows because a shit-laden hurricane is coming at us,' said the south coast resident and environmentalist Eugene Doyle, whose house faces the sea. 'Everyone in charge has done an appalling job, and they need to be held accountable.' "

🚨 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.
