I'm proud to announce a commentary from the Phenomena, Observations, and Synthesis panel of @usclivar.bsky.social about the necessity of the Argo program. 🌊 🧪 You can check it out here: doi.org/10.5670/ocea...

I am an active learning fangirl and my husband is continually horrified by my creativity used to “torture my students”. Introducing Oceanography Bingo! Also known as how I’m going to get 15 students from 8 different universities to talk to each other for the first time. 🌊

From this GEM atlas, we can infer the internal density field along SWOT swaths in the same region and further infer the vertical velocity using the QC-omega equation. 🌊

Lily Dove@solilyquy· Jun 15

Using data from the NASA Surface Water Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite 🛰️ and in situ glider measurements, we create a local Gravest Empirical Mode (GEM) atlas, connecting sea surface height to vertical profiles of density. 🌊

🌊 New paper alert! For the first time from space, two NASA missions enable us to observe plankton community composition alongside the physical processes that structure it. 🛰️ 🦠 🌀 Check it out from @tosoceanography.bsky.social: doi.org/10.5670/ocea...

Nearing the end of semester two at Georgia Tech, and I am so grateful this team who does awesome science. As our group keeps growing, I will always value the work each of them - one amazing postdoc (@yangx309.bsky.social) and the spectacular GATO “undergrad army” - did to help get us off the ground.

Fantastic morning at the Atlanta Science Festival, featuring the President of Georgia Tech stopping by the @gtsciences.bsky.social Earth & Atmospheric Sciences booth to learn about earthquakes and water filtration! 🧪🔬

Reconciliation begins with recognition of truths. Well done to the Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Text from a sign at the Kelvingrove Museum: “Scotland and
Empire

Between the mid-1600s and the mid-1900s, Britain aggressively developed an overseas empire. People from all over Scotland were participants in, and drivers of, the British Empire both at home and overseas. They were politicians, enslavers, traders, colonial administrators, soldiers, missionaries, voluntary and forced migrants.

Scotland's wealth grew significantly as a result of its involvement in transat antic chattel slavery. This wealth was built on exploitation of, and violence committed against, people around the world. Money from slavery, and subsequently Empire, has been invested in many areas of Scottish society, such as industry, agriculture, railways, buildings and our museums. Resources from former British colonies fuelled several of Glasgow's industries. Many of the countries that were exploited through colonisation remain economically underdeveloped as a result. Racist ideas were used to justify that exploitation, the legacies of which we are still grappling with today.”

Science research vessel traffic jam in Punta Arenas! 🌊⛴️Currently around port are the RV Roger Revelle (USA), RSS Sir David Attenborough (UK), Icebreaker Noosfera (Ukraine), and Xue Long 2 (China). Soon we on the RV Sikuliaq (USA) will join the party!

A lullaby from the skies in the Magellan Straits last night. 🌊 ☁️

We’ve entered the Straits of Magellan, at the southern end of Chile. It’s absolutely beautiful!

51S, 94W: we have a new guest on board - a Nazca booby! Usually found near the Galapagos, this guy is far out of his typical range. Aptly, our stowaway is hanging out on the crow’s nest. Photo by Pablo Cohn.

It’s very biologically quiet out here on the South Pacific, but we got the company and blessing of a beautiful albatross earlier. 🌊 39S, 122W

Today's satellite shoutout 🛰️ is to NASA PACE, which gives us data of ocean color, biogeochemistry, and ecology! 🌊 🧪 Here is chlorophyll-a (signature of photosynthesizing plankton) along with ocean current magnitude and direction (arrows). The red dot is where I currently am on the RV Sikuliaq! ⛴️

Living a dream come true and chasing ocean eddies in real time thanks to the NASA SWOT satellite. 🌊 🛰️ ⛴️ 🧪 SWOT provides us "swaths" of data about water elevation for both the ocean and large freshwater reservoirs. I use this data to track small-scale ocean currents and watch how they evolve.

Map of SWOT swaths. Colorbar is "sea level anomaly" or difference of the current sea surface height from the average sea surface height at the same location.

A Christmas gift to the ocean from the team aboard the RV Sikuliaq: one specially wrapped biogeochemical-Argo float from @bgc-argo.bsky.social! 🌊 Profiling floats allow us to get real-time ocean data, helping us be in tune with ocean health and changes.

Home for the next few weeks. Gotta say, Tahiti is a funny place to board an icebreaker! 🌊⛴️

Lily Dove@solilyquy· Dec 16

For a few weeks, I will be sailing on the RV Sikuliaq from Papeete, Tahiti to Punta Arenas, Chile. ⛴️ Stay tuned for some fun science in the South Pacific! In an especially fun fact, we will be sailing close (in an ocean sense) to Point Nemo, the place in the ocean that is farthest from land. 🌊

I regret to inform everybody that I failed and now have to settle for my backup: being a professor.

High school yearbook, question “Where do you see yourself in 10 years?” Lily’s answer: “I hope to be in the NASA astronaut training program or working at CERN in Switzerland.”

Oops already did that
