Article: The proportion of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in the ocean now substantially differs from the Redfield ratio, likely reflecting a reduction in phosphorus limitation nature.com/articles/s4156…
Glad to share our paper revealing that inland and coastal waters, while covering <10% of Earth’s surface, contribute ~20% of global nitrogen fixation! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… @NOCnews @ird_fr
We’re hiring! Come and work with @MikeAClare and I at @NOCnews. We’re recruiting for an open-ended research position in marine geohazards. careers.noc.ac.uk/vacancy/resear…

Here a new point of view on the response od fhe global ocean to climate change. In short: we cannot separate temperature from the rest when we look at trends in the dynamics. It is just a starting point. With the great Bruno Buongiorno Nardelli. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Check out our new publication, led by Christel Hassler at @EPFL. In the Fe-limited Southern Ocean, most of the organic ligands that maintain Fe available for life are produced on site by phytoplankton and bacteria. @jaccsa @NisotopesCT @ICMCSIC nature.com/articles/s4146…
Amazing work!!! Congrats Himanshu!!
Diazotrophs are a potential sink of greenhouse gas N20. Our latest paper just published in GRL, @theAGU, shows that N2O fixation not only directly sequesters N2O but may amount to 0.3 Tg C / y of global ocean net primary production. @PRLAhmedabad @GSDN_PRL doi.org/10.1029/2024GL…

On International Women’s Day I’d like to take the opportunity to highlight women’s contributions to this project and marine science. This expedition couldn’t run without our geophysicists, geologists, ROV pilots and crew, many of whom are women. They’re inspirational. @NOCnews
For #InternationalWomensDay we're celebrating all of the amazing women doing incredible things in complex and challenging fields. 👩🔬 Check out this curated playlist of #NOCIntoTheBlue podcasts covering a range of different areas of ocean research 🔁 youtube.com/playlist?list=…
