Absolutely beautiful video describing a new paper on changes in the Gulf of Maine @BigelowLab @cathmmit nasa.gov/feature/esnt/2022/n…

NASA-funded Study: Gulf of Maine’s Phytoplankton Productivity Down 65% - NASA

The Gulf of Maine is growing increasingly warm and salty, due to ocean currents pushing warm water into the gulf from the Northwest Atlantic, according to a

Finding out how much rockweed is on Maine's coast is essential for understanding nearshore food webs. @cathmmit recently began fieldwork with collaborators to develop methods that can estimate the amount of rockweed using data from drones! 📷 Catherine Mitchell

#7daysoffieldwork Day 5: @cathmmit spent last summer surprisingly chilly -- in the Southern Ocean with the @SCALExperiment. She ran a system measuring how light interacts with #phytoplankton in order to help calibrate satellites and improve observations in this remote region.

#Tistheseason for outrageous #holidaysweaters! Bigelow staff are celebrating with whacky patterns and efforts to support our local community. Thank you to everyone who brought in a gift for a local child or warm clothes for the drive organized by the Boothbay Community Center!

The tireless #GulfofMaine North Atlantic Time Series crew spent the weekend aboard @UConn's research vessel measuring key ocean variables. This week, project lead Barney Balch is at the #GulfofMaine2050 conference, sharing insights from over two decades studying the Gulf.

It's a big one! Last week, Senior Research Associate Dave Drapeau reeled in Grampus the #glider after a series of test dives attached to a buoy. Grampus passed with flying colors, and now is swimming across the #GulfofMaine, collecting data on key ocean variables. 📸: @cathmmit

Ready, set, go! @cathmmit and the rest of the #glider team sent Henry and Grampus on a short dive off the dock this week. Comparing sensors on the two gliders ensures that they capture the ocean environment in the same way in their frequent trips across the #GulfofMaine.

Ever wonder your chance of encountering a jellyfish in the water? There’s a forecast for that... and it’s being done by @SeascapeScience @BigelowLab: newscentermaine.com/article/… #wakeMEup #MaineJellies – at Portland, ME

In a new project, Bigelow Laboratory is collaborating with institutions across Maine to develop a cutting-edge #eDNA toolset for monitoring aquatic life. Wondering how eDNA relates to ocean science? Check out this #stopmotion video made by @ColbyCollege students at the lab!

SCALE would like to introduce you to #teamproduction led by @tommyrkeogh currently on the winter cruise. They are trying to understand how the biological carbon pump works through optics, uptake experiments and export measurements
