Many museums have had their 'fair share' (if there is such a thing) of flooding. If you are looking to prepare, save an hour in your diary on Friday 19 July for Session 2 of the joint Culture in Crisis and ICOM UK webinar series 'Preserving the Past: Strategies for Heritage in Crisis' - Session 2: Water and Flooding.

In the Southeast Pacific, off the coast of Chile, underwater mountains create a breathtaking deep-sea landscape where cold-water corals, intricate glass sponges, anemones, and a host of creatures that captivate the imagination are thriving. Nearly half of the animals living here exist nowhere else on Earth. Seamounts are oases for biodiversity; for the last month, an international team of scientists explored this understudied region in our global ocean. Data and imagery collected on the #SEPacificSeamounts expedition will help advance Chile’s effort to establish a high-seas marine protected area along the Nazca and Salas y Gómez Ridges.

The Formation of the Unique Underwater World during the Ice Age Discover how the Ice Age and the lowering of the sea level shaped the formation of a fascinating underwater world in the Bahamas. Learn about the drying out of the reef, which led to the creation of this extraordinary ecosystem. #IceAgeFormation #UnderwaterWorld #BahamasReef #UniqueEcosystem #SeaLevelChange #IceAgeImpact #AncientUnderwaterWorld #GlacierEffect #EcologicalHistory #FascinatingMarineLife

Such a brilliant database, with the added citizen science input, real-time data quantity and quality collection continues to grow from strength to strength. This information can then direct conservation efforts in a more targeted and timely manner, picking up on emerging tends of observations (or lack there of) for species. It’s as simple as using the #atlasoflivingaustralia website https://lnkd.in/eEcEHAEP or supporting apps. My app of choice is #iNaturalist to record what where and when you find flora fauna or fungi. Uploading records is very easy;& I love the fact you just need a photo (or sound recording) to upload & the catalogue will give you a good guess, followed up by expert ID. A great resource for the nature enthusiast & students as well 👩🏻🏫 👩🎓 🌳 Happy flora fauna & fungi finding & uploading 📷 🐠 🔈 🐸 👁️ 🦋 🍄 #citizenscience

Ocean Encounters: Seabirds - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution via YouTube : Surviving life on the open ocean Seabirds are uniquely adapted to life at sea—and uniquely vulnerable to its perils. Many spend the majority of their decades-long lives far from shore, flying thousands of miles over open water to find food, returning to land only to mate and raise their young. Join us as we learn about these extraordinary animals and talk with scientists working to understand and protect them. https://lnkd.in/enH92U-i

Making life-long memories, connecting with nature, and learning from scientists are just a few things you can expect on an Earthwatch expedition. As participant Brooke Sabin says: "For the volunteers, it’s a chance to discover a destination in ways that take them far off the typical tourist track and to connect with people from varied backgrounds—all while contributing to research that aims to protect the planet. In other words, to travel with a purpose." — Brooke Sabin on the expedition "Wildlife in the Changing Andorran Pyrenees" Considering an expedition?

My father, David Packard, had a boundless curiosity about the world. When he turned that curiosity to the ocean, he brought a unique vision to the work of understanding the processes that sustain the largest living space on Earth. At MBARI, he teamed up talented scientists and engineers, with n extraordinary marine operations team, exceptional science communicators, and the myriad staff needed to keep the research institute functioning. Collectively, over nearly four decades, they have contributed so much to our knowledge of the living ocean. I'm excited to see what comes next! #ScienceAndEngineering #innovation #MarineScience #OceanExploration #eDNA #robotics #MarineBiology #oceanography #AUVs #mapping #biodiversity #chemistry #geology #MarineBiology #TechnologyTransfer

What I like in this photo is that space exploration and multi-planetary civilization is still strongly depending on the #mechanicalengineering, #solidmechanics and #fluidmechanics, #heattransfer, #thermodynamics and all that #rocketscience :) not ONLY on AI/ML/DL but also on the rest of ...

The fate of coral reefs may hinge on the interplay between a diverse cast of marine creatures. We examine how these tiny tenants can be both heroes and villains in the drama unfolding underwater. https://lnkd.in/g2MupCFG
