Really cool Jan, nice work!! 👏 would be interested in discussing plume dimensions for a study we're currently looking at on suspension times and resettling of organic carbon post trawl across the Western Irish Sea Mud Belt.

Hey Kieran, saw this great up and coming duo over the weekend you may not have heard of yet, Driven Snow? Anyway, great lyrics, cool vibes, well worth a play 👌

A new review brings together over 30 UK & international scientists to assess the latest evidence on how human activities, including bottom trawling and climate pressures affect seabed organic carbon stores. Read the blog to see what the evidence shows👇🌊 marinescience.blog.gov.uk/2026/02/25/s...

Standing room only at our anthropogenic impacts on blue carbon #OSM26 session, followed by a vibrant poster session. Big challenges, but such a collegiate and engaging community working on it. Came away energised & more excited about our QUEST research, presented by Phoebe Walsh & Mark Chatting.

Promises to be a top notch #bluecarbon session at #OSM26, straddling technical developments and policy implications. Come along and enjoy the chat! 💬

Brief offshore dalliance this week doing a few interesting tasks, such a tonic for the academic soul. To quote idiosyncratic, post-punk artists Sea Power: "The salt, the spray, the gorgeous undertow Always, always, always the sea" 🌊

🌊 New publication out! Key message: Measuring dry bulk density is as important as measuring organic carbon content when estimating organic carbon stocks. Shouldn't surprise, but needs to be said. Led by Mark Chatting (@ucddublin.bsky.social), with @drmarkyc.bsky.social, @biogeochembilly.bsky.social

Hey Kieran, just coming back, and down, an utterly transcendental Sigur Rós concert in London over the weekend. An out of body experience. Any chance of a tune from those Icelandic wizards?

What better place for the MESSAGE Group writing retreat than where the mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea ⛰️🌊 Great few days of writing, discussions & generally being inspired, led by Emma Millet, @tomasbuitendijk.bsky.social & Geertje Schuitema, sponsored by Marine Institute ✍️🗣

A stimulating week at #EGU25. Co-convened a #bluecarbon session, w/Phoebe Walsh presenting her latest PhD research on trawling impacts & seafloor recovery. Shauna Creane & Aelita Totska presented a new sediment mobility tool, and Muireann Walsh gave her first PhD poster on Irish Sea morpodynamics 👏
