#Mesophotic
on Mastodon
New paper!
We usually think of #sediment getting finer as we move away from the shore. But, when biogenic and oceanographic factors come into play in the #mesophotic zone, the patterns could be quite different.
I'm really happy with how this paper came out. It's a very holistic view of how sedimentary #facies are actually distributed, with #seafloor photography, acoustic imaging, sampling, quantitative thin section analysis, and #multivariant statistics.

Looking for numbers on community #calcification rate. It seems the literature has only two options "#reef" (shallow, corals) or "#plankton"...
Temperate reefs? #Mesophotic reefs? Calcareous algae meadows? #Seagrass epiphytes? Sorry, nothing for you.
#NewPaper out in the world!
What destroys a #carbonate (#mesophotic) platform? It turns out that erosion, destabilization, and lower slope dismantling all work independently of each other.

More cool results from expedition #SO292
New paper!
We know a lot about export patterns from #euphotic carbonate platforms. But very little about these patterns in #mesophotic ones (which, geologically, they were very common).
I aim to fill that gap with new data from the western Indian Ocean.
