Citizen science program partnering with tour expedition industry to learn about phytoplankton in polar fjords www.fjordphyto.org
Interested in the world’s largest iceberg!? FjordPhyto co-founder and Lead PI Maria Vernet discusses some impacts on ecosystems (including the phytoplankton)
Another impact of melting icebergs: Perils for our penguin friends. 🐧 Scripps Oceanography marine ecologist Maria Vernet spoke with National Geographic on how when massive melting icebergs like #A23a drift through the ocean, they can affect penguin populations. ⬇️
The world's largest iceberg is on a collision course with vital penguin sanctuary
This megaberg is the size of Rhode Island and weighs a trillion tons. It could ground to a halt near South Georgia, a critical wildlife haven.
