Pick up a copy of Reefs of Time and dive into the story (scuba pun intended), especially if you are need of a little optimism about nature in this dark and scary time. press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...
Happy birthday to Reefs of Time, which came out from @princetonupress.bsky.social a year ago today! It’s been an exciting year of reef resilience talks, hearing from readers, being an interviewee (instead of an interviewer), and signing my name many times. #booksky #scicomm #marinelife
New study: relative sea level rise from all causes made a 100-year flood in 1900 a 1-in-5-year flood or less by 2005 in Hawaii, San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Seattle. I plotted these from assets-eu.researchsquare.com/files/rs-749...
I’m so sorry to hear that David Hockney died, but I’m thoroughly enjoying the Hockney exhibit that is proliferating on bluesky.
Oysters are even better at cleaning up coastal water than we thought, according to new research from @annesmiley.bsky.social of @unc-ie.bsky.social.

New research has revealed that significant amounts of excess nitrogen in coastal waters are buried as oyster reefs grow and that some reefs trap more nitrogen than others.
