BiCOME is an @esa funded project which will help us better understand how the community structure and function of coastal ecosystems will respond to the anthropogenic and natural drivers in a changing climate. Read more about the project on our website: bicome.info

Another new #seagrass 🌱paper supported by the @esa funded @BicomeProject ⬇️
Dr. Bede Ffinian Rowe Davies@BedeFfinian3 Aug 2024
🚨 New Open Access Paper in Remote Sensing of Environment 🚨 This is the second use of the ICE CREAMS model (🍨see previous post) to map Intertidal Seagrass variation with Sentinel-2 🛰️ Here we assessed inter-annual trends rather than intra-annual ones! doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2024.1…

Exciting new BiCOME-supported paper now published!⬇️
Dr. Bede Ffinian Rowe Davies@BedeFfinian16 Jul 2024
🚨 New Open Access Paper/Model/Data 🚨We are pleased to announce our new paper in @CommsEarth! Here we assessed the phenology of intertidal seagrass across the North Atlantic coast of Western Europe and North Africa using satellite imagery! 🧵 rdcu.be/dN0ae

What can Satellite’s 🛰️ tell us about Intertidal seagrass? Answer: A LOT! These huge beds change yearly and differently across all of Europe! 👀 Keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming paper! Was a pleasure to present our work from @BicomeProject funded by @esa at @ISBW15_WSC24

This week Tom Jordan from @PlymouthMarine visited the @TaraOcean_ Tara schooner as it moored in Barcelona to re-install a So-Rad (solar-tracking radiometry platform) for the 2024 field season. It'll capture in-situ data during the @EMBLtrec expedition for the HyperBOOST project.

Happy #WorldSeagrassDay!🌱
UN Ocean Decade@UNOceanDecade1 Mar 2024
It's #WorldSeagrassDay! 🌱 Seagrass sustains biodiversity and benefits people, but it's declining fast. Here's why we need to protect seagrass, and how #OceanDecade actors like @FishOceansCAN @_MeerWissen @HIFMB_OL @UdsmOfficial @MandelaUni @SydneyMarine are making it happen.👇
