#Mesophotic on Mastodon
Research team discovers more than 50 potentially new #DeepSea species in one of the most unexplored areas of the planet, underwater mountains of the Salas y Gómez Ridge https://phys.org/news/2024-04-team-potentially-deep-sea-species.html
"they also found one of the deepest #mesophotic #corals in the world, extending the distribution of this Polynesian fauna by several hundred kilometers... & fields of #sponges and corals, habitats that are considered vulnerable and in need of protection"
Deep parts of Great Barrier Reef insulated from #GlobalWarming, for now https://phys.org/news/2024-04-deep-great-barrier-reef-insulated.html
Climate change impacts on #mesophotic regions of the #GreatBarrierReef: Jennifer McWhorter et al. https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2303336121
"separation between warm buoyant surface water and cooler deeper water can insulate #reefs from surface #HeatWaves, but this protection will be lost if global #warming exceeds 3°C above pre-industrial levels."
Time to re-introduce myself, I am a #marine #biologist & scientific diver.
PRESENT: Enrolled as a #PhD student in the Marine Zoology Lab of Polytechnic University of Marche (UNIVPM, Italy) under the supervision of Prof. Carlo Cerrano, aiming 2 investigate benthic communities with a focus on #mesophotic & #monitoring
FUTURE: wannabe mesophotic reef research & tec diver

New #preprint out!
We understand rather well how and what material is exported from a #euphotic carbonate platform. But what about a #mesophotic one? Looking into that at the Sayh de Malha Bank in the western Indian Ocean.

"This is a huge surprise. Deeper #corals had always been thought of as being resilient to #ocean #warming, because the waters they inhabit are cooler than at the surface and were believed to remain relatively stable. However, that is clearly not the case"
