🌎 We've had Earth's back since 1903. This #EarthDay, we celebrate where we've been and where we plan to go to continue leading research in climate change impacts and adaptation, resilience to hazards, conservation and biodiversity, oceans and human health and more. 🌏

New #publication alert! Excited to share our paper in @ConBiology with recommendations for improving the accessibility of large-area imagery (aka #photogrammetry) for #coralreef #conservation. See thread 🧵 below or check out the paper here: conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.c… (1/14)
McCarthy et al shared that there is a disconnect between current large-area imaging research topics and #conservation priorities identified by practitioners of #marineconservation.🌊 Learn more at doi.org/10.1111/cobi.14145

The @GovtOfVanuatu, in partnership with the Waitt Institute, is conducting the largest nationwide assessment of Vanuatu’s coral reefs. This expedition will gather information about the status of marine life across Vanuatu’s coastal waters. #BlueProsperityVanuatu
A night at one of our wonderful museums in San Diego? An opportunity to see science meeting art with @ucsdlibrary ? An opportunity to talk with some of our SD natural historians? Give me a 🍺 (which is also there) and count me in! We hope to see you tonight! @100islchallenge
Join @ucsdlibrary at @SDNHM for Nat at Night featuring Scripps Oceanography marine ecologist @StuartSandin's work creating realistic models of #CoralReef underwater habitats.
📅 Sept. 15
🕔 5-10 p.m.

Timely piece about the past and future of coral reefs by @StuartSandin of @Scripps_Ocean
stratnews.com/recent/mode/sh…
Sorry to miss you guys during the visit. Great to see the team still moving!
3 years ago @StuartSandin (with the help of @NSF @Scripps_Ocean) pulled off a remote REU with students from all over the world in the midst of the pandemic. This weekend I got to meet some of those students, show them around SIO, and hear about the amazing things they are doing!

🪸 Scripps Oceanography scientists are revolutionizing #CoralReef conservation by using software to stitch together overlapping underwater images to create photorealistic 3D models of reefs that can quantify important changes, like coral growth, over time. Dive in. ⬇️ 🤿 🧵

Our study shows that ocean currents can shelter coral reefs during major El Niño heatwaves. How did this happen…? By enhancing upwelling and delivering valuable nutrition to corals during peak thermal stress. [1/5]

Get ready to dive into the world of art and science at Salty Cinema at Scripps Seaside Forum on June 1! 🌊🎬 This ocean-themed film festival is making waves by illuminating the wonders under the sea on the big screen 🎥 ✨ Reserve your spot here: bit.ly/3MqPBvM

Am I the only person who finds this snapper, Lutjanus bohar, to be one of the more fascinating and charismatic reef fish? Their curious (and ridiculous) behaviors remind me of dogs, including their funny expressions (see here). @Scripps_Ocean @NG_PristineSeas
Hey, how come I didn’t get to join the photo…ha!
Jokes aside, thanks for visiting @Scripps_Ocean and the team. Connecting across institutions, organizations, and disciplines is the way that we can make our science efforts multiply for society today and tomorrow
Had a blast touring @Scripps_Ocean with the @StuartSandin lab for our #nsffunded outreach exchange trip between @sacnas chapter students from @SDSU and @NIUSustain @NIUlive today!
