Scripps Oceanography is joining forces with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and other leading science institutions and partners to represent ocean issues at COP29 Azerbaijan in Baku next month. The Ocean Pavilion will highlight the crucial role of our ocean in climate and feature 60 presentations, keynote addresses, and discussions on ocean solutions and innovation. “There can be no doubt that what takes place in the ocean influences biodiversity and desertification on land as a consequence of climate change,” said Scripps Oceanography Director Margaret Leinen. “We must get to a better understanding of the ocean if we are to truly know how to confront climate change, biodiversity and desertification. We can’t afford to probe the ocean on shoestring budgets. They must become a higher societal priority.” Join us in following the Ocean Pavilion's activities and updates from #COP29!

The Southern Ocean Carbon and Climate Observations and Modeling (SOCCOM) project — which has been studying and modeling the waters that ring Antarctica for the past 10 years — has secured an additional 3 years of funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), extending support through 2027. After a decade of administration by Princeton University, SOCCOM will transition to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego under the leadership of oceanographer Lynne Talley. What’s next? Float production at Scripps, a partnership with University of Washington and new contributions from University of Hawaii at Manoa, MBARI, University of Arizona and Rutgers University. They’re bringing in next-generation technology like supercharged sensors and expanding research to explore how the Southern Ocean connects with the rest of the globe! 🌍 With more than 200 publications and more to come, SOCCOM is the hub for game-changing ocean data. Stay tuned for even more discoveries from this dynamic team.

✨🐬 Check out these dolphins gliding through glowing bioluminescent waves, turning the ocean into their own light show! 💙 Earlier this week, UC San Diego photographer Erik Jepsen captured these cool cetaceans amidst the magic off Scripps Pier. But what’s behind this sensational show? According to Clarissa Anderson, director of the Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System here at Scripps Oceanography, dinoflagellate blooms of Lingulodinium polyedra and Tripos furca have recently been spotted up and down the coast of California. When these aquatic organisms are agitated, they emit a stunning blue light. Learn more about the science behind red tides and bioluminescence: https://bit.ly/2yp4Cev

🌏 More than 10,500 new students joined the UC San Diego family this fall and hit the ground running, eager to impact the local and campus community and beyond. One of those stellar students is Olivia K Pierce, a third-year transfer student in the Environmental Systems program who is studying in the Ecology, Behavior, and Evolution track. She'll be diving into the world of ocean and environmental science, ready to tackle the most pressing challenges facing our planet. With her passion for the planet and dedication to discovery, we're excited to see how she'll make waves in the field! Meet Olivia and some fellow new Tritons below. ⬇️

Renowned biologist and professor Jeffrey I. Gordon has been selected by Scripps Oceanography as the recipient of the 2024 Nierenberg Prize for Science in the Public Interest! 🎉🔬 Often referred to as the “father of microbiome research,” Gordon leads transformative research that is furthering the understanding of human health and how it is shaped by the gut microbiome, or the collection of microbes that reside in the human gut. The public is invited to attend the Nierenberg award ceremony and presentation from Gordon in a free event on Oct. 11 at 6 p.m. at the Great Hall on the UC San Diego campus. Gordon’s presentation will discuss how he and other researchers are testing the hypothesis that childhood undernutrition is causally related to perturbations in the normal development of the gut microbiome. Childhood undernutrition is a devastating global health problem with long-term effects that remain resistant to current therapeutic interventions. Learn more about Gordon’s research and RSVP in advance: https://bit.ly/3zJJrmW

Major milestone in climate education 🌎🌟 Starting this fall, UC San Diego is launching the Jane Teranes Climate Change Education Requirement (JTCCER), an initiative designed to ensure that undergraduates across all majors are equipped to understand and address climate change. This new graduation requirement is the first of its kind at a major public university and the first within the University of California system. Named in memory of the late Jane Teranes, a beloved teaching professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and advocate for climate education, the program honors her legacy by preparing the next generation of leaders to confront one of the world’s greatest challenges. To meet the JTCCER, all incoming first-year undergraduates will complete a one-quarter course from a list of more than 40 approved options, including 12 offered by Scripps Oceanography. With course titles spanning "California Politics," "Literature and the Environment," "Natural Disasters," and more, students can choose a class that fits their interests and major requirements—without adding to their overall workload. 📚 Learn more about this transformative initiative and how it’s shaping the future of climate education at UC San Diego: https://lnkd.in/g4s9Hfht #TritonPride #ClimateChange #HigherEd
