At the #LyellCentre we had a coccolithophore coffee morning 🍰

- zooplankton processes
- particle characteristics & ballasting
- particle fragmentation & aggregation
- the active flux due to vertical migration
- the physical circulation

Detailed theme info: lnkd.in/eksN2UfT

The workshop will focus on the following 10 themes, identified as key gaps in our understanding:
- calcification and the rain ratio
- plankton community structure
- phytoplankton growth and micronutrients
- the microbial loop and solubilization
- plankton respiration
...

Hi, could I be added as a contributor please!

This mornings was definitely all about #ocean #iron - @cmarkmoore.bsky.social finished off the session highlighting findings from Jo Ainsworth’s PhD work as part of #CUSTARD and the #iron and #carbon cycles

This was then upped by Tess Ashen @plymouthmarine.bsky.social who had a great schematic

I particularly enjoyed this slide as a non #iron #biogeochemist - saving as a cheat sheet for later
@altagliabue.bsky.social

This morning we have moved away from yesterdays unofficial theme of #coccolithophores to nutrients with talks by Robyn Tuerena
@samsocean.bsky.social and the #C-streams project, Anna Belcher @ukceh.bsky.social and @biopole.bsky.social project and a keynote by @altagliabue.bsky.social on #iron

Starting this morning session - in I think the hardest slot of the two days (morning after conference dinner) was Marta Santos Garcia sharing her #PhD work on #Nitrogen #Fixation changes in the #Arctic #Ocean

As a non modeller I enjoyed @nanophyto.bsky.social explanation of ensemble based models

This morning has focused strongly on #ocean #biogeochemistry #models
with talks by @miriamseif.bsky.social, Aaron Naidoo-Bagwell and Joost de Vries
#AMBIO 🌊

Alex leaves us with some things to think about
- we need a carbonate pump schematic
- we need to get out of our silos
- we know what we know but what about our unknown unknowns
