Today is bass clarinet day 🥰

A few days ago Luís Pereira defended his PhD thesis in a memorable way. Congratulations Luís. We are very proud of you. @coastalwarming.bsky.social @electricbluecrl.bsky.social. @dansmale1.bsky.social and @trinebekkby.bsky.social were the main opponents. We had a great time!

Spring tides in the Spring (pun intended) mean that our entire team is busy in the field. This past couple of days we were simultaneously working in Norway, Spain and several locations in Portugal. @coastalwarming.bsky.social

Our most recently activity with the entire team: a safety training session on the field. We discussed communication, planning, prevention, emergency actions and equipment. It was a success!

Some rocky shore biodiversity just to brighten the day

Returning home after an amazing field trip to Goa with Rui Seabra, Fraddry D’Souza and Lalat Hindu. We deployed temperature sensors from @electricbluecrl.bsky.social and conducted biodiversity surveys. @coastalwarming.bsky.social

US, what the actual hell is wrong with you?

On the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, a huge shout-out to my wife @sergiavelho.bsky.social, a brilliant scientist, a dedicated mum of three, and an inspiration. Here she is working in the lab while pregnant with our first daughter: a scene that repeated twice more!

Apple Maps is still showing Gulf of Mexico though

I never thought anyone would actually get into that bandwagon but here we are. This is a printscreen from Google maps.

Look what showed up in front of one of our intertidal cameras. Yes, this is a section of the shore where you can walk during low tide 😀

Today we finished the transplants of the algae we collected yesterday. Some were secured with specially designed 3D printed holders. Others grew on bricks that we transported and glued to the rock. Let’s see how they do in the next months.

Still yesterday. In the 1st pic, some of us working in the field. On the 2nd pic, Gibbula magus, a species I had not seen in maybe 20 years.

Exchanging algae among fieldwork teams in an underground parking in Vigo, Spain. Reciprocal transplants will inform us on responses of these algae to warming. We looked like we were smuggling drugs, though 😅

For the past year João Nunes has been working with us and, today, he superbly defended his MSc thesis on the use of low cost drones for the systematic survey of intertidal communities. Congrats João!

Can anyone help identifying this parasitic isopod? Found on a recently beached dead fish in Porto Santo, Madeira, Portugal. The isopod was still alive.

Cátia Monteiro and Rui Seabra continue deploying loggers and sampling intertidal biodiversity near the tropics. This time in Fernando de Noronha, with Ana Carolina and César Cordeiro. For more info on this project of ours, see bit.ly/3PWcp71

After returning from the cold Arctic, Rui Seabra (not yet in BlueSky) has been deploying #EnvLoggers and measuring biodiversity in this isolated Brazilian archipelago (Saint Peter and Saint Paul) between South America and Africa, near the Equator. This is part of our CCTBON project bit.ly/3PWcp71

First post on Bluesky! I am a marine biologist studying the impacts of climate change on intertidal communities. I feel at home among algae, barnacles, sea stars and the like. Looking forward to sharing insights and collaborating with fellow colleagues, naturalists and enthusiasts.
