(Zn control of marine primary production). Apparently yes: by multiple independent lines of evidence, including zinc stress protein biomarkers, in the low pCO2 waters of a coastal Antarctica bloom. Thesis work by Riss Kell and many wonderful collabs.

If you know how easy it is to contaminate for zinc you’ll appreciate this study.

Really fun project working together with colleagues to examine this method. And Intercomparisons are really valuable to connect between dstasets across time and space in the environment https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/4889/2024/10 Nov 2024 09:22 +0000at://did:plc:hr64h4eec2etdplkintqsm4b/app.bsky.feed.post/3lali5brvoc2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/maksaito.bsky.social/post/3kk5nqbwkpf2sOur rock group, Deep Six, just released a second album this week, The Abyss. Mostly instrumental tunes, melancholy, but hopeful, good writing or walking tunes. With fellow marine chemists Adam Subhas and Tristan Horner.

We also sent Clio on a 4000m dive and detected fungi in the large nephaloid layers there. Congrats @oceanatalie.bsky.social !
