BIOcean5D

🌊 We explore marine life to understand how it changes across space, time and human impact 🌍 The immense vastness of the Ocean – covering over 70% of our planet’s surface – calls for a collective effort 🤝 BIOcean5D supports this effort by distributing instruments, along with training, to empower both marine scientists and #citizenscience to study life beneath the waves 🔬 Among these tools is the #PlanktoScope - a simple, robust and cost-effective open-source microscope, perfectly designed for the collaborative monitoring of plankton biodiversity ❄️ The #PlanktoScope distributed by BIOcean5D to Tristan Cordier at NORCE Research, was recently used by Katja Häkli, during the i2B Arctic Ocean Expedition aboard the Norwegian research vessel RV Kronprins Haakon, which took place from 16 August to 19 September 2025 🚢 The i2B Arctic Ocean Expedition collected new geological archives to better understand Arctic climate during key interglacial periods, approximately 130,000 and 400,000 years ago 🔬 In parallel, #plankton samples collected in the Arctic Ocean and imaged using the #PlanktoScope contributed further insights about the organisms present in the Arctic water column 👉 Discover more about the #PlanktoScope & how it’s used within BIOcean5D here: https://lnkd.in/gy6ZCHfn 🤿 Dive into the i2B Arctic Ocean Expedition 2025 here: https://lnkd.in/dPQUe54C 📸 Credit: Agnes Weiner 🇪🇺 BIOcean5D is co-funded by the European Union (#HorizonEurope) | EU Science, Research and Innovation

🌐 BIOcean5D at #SAME18 in Barcelona! Researchers from BIOcean5D took part in the 18th Symposium on Aquatic Microbial Ecology (#SAME18), joining and contributing to discussions on ‘Aquatic Microbiomes on a Changing Planet’     🌊 Raffaele Siano (Ifremer) presented early findings from the #Paleocore project (EMBL - #TREC – BIOcean5D) 🎤 European Anthropocene: biodiversity shifts driven by human activities revealed through paleogenomics   🌊 Carlota Ruiz Gazulla (BIOcean5D postdoctoral researcher at Sorbonne Université / Observatoire Océanologique de Banyuls-sur-Mer) shared insights from her research on microbial communities in the Mediterranean Sea 🎤 Seasonality of microbial communities across a surface-depth gradient in the NW Mediterranean Sea   🌊 Joanna Warwick-Dugdale (BIOcean5D – MARCO-BOLO postdoctoral research assistant at The Marine Biological Association) presented results from her work investigating marine biodiversity via metabarcoding time-series intercomparisons 🎤 The long-term view: inter- and intra-annual plankton diversity patterns in the Western English Channel from a 20-year metabarcoding dataset   🌊 Nine LE REUN, PhD (BIOcean5D postdoctoral researcher at NORCE Research) presented results from her investigation of benthic and plankton biodiversity in the North Pacific Ocean 🎤 Biogeographical patterns of eukaryotes communities from bathyal to hadal depths in the North Pacific and Atlantic trenches   🔗 #SAME18: https://lnkd.in/eyUUaT86   📸 Credit: Caitlin Kumiko Dye   #ICMCSIC #MicrobialEcology #AquaticMicrobiomes #MarineScience 🇪🇺 BIOcean5D is co-funded by the European Union (#HorizonEurope) | EU Science, Research and Innovation

📢 New article alert!   🌊 Swimming against the current: highlighting the value of #plankton services for marine #conservation   🎙️ We caught up with BIOcean5D Early Career Researcher Eva Wanek to learn about the often-overlooked value of #plankton, their ecosystem services and disservices, and why this knowledge is essential for effective marine policy   🧭 Together with colleagues Julián Esteban Cantillo and Sacha Bourgeois-Gironde, Eva Wanek developed an expert assessment tool to evaluate how marine policies impact plankton ecosystem services and disservices   🤝 The tool’s applicability was demonstrated thanks to expert assessment by 19 BIOcean5D marine scientists during a dedicated workshop at our General Assembly in February 2025   🔗 Read the full story on our website here: https://lnkd.in/ewWaghaz   👏 The work was recently published in Frontiers in Marine Science: https://lnkd.in/eEN6bsrR   🌐 #MarineScience #Plankton #EcosystemServices #Conservation   📸 Credit: Kogia | Jialing-Cai, Julián Esteban Cantillo, Graphical abstract & Figure 3 of ‘Valuing marine plankton: a review of ecosystem services and disservices and an expert assessment of the potential of area-based protection’, Eva Wanek et al., Frontiers in Marine Science, July 2025   🇪🇺 BIOcean5D is co-funded by the European Union (#HorizonEurope) | EU Science, Research and Innovation

⚠️ The warning has been sounded: our planet has reached the first catastrophic climate tipping point  🐠 Coral reefs, home to around a quarter of all marine species, are among the most vulnerable ecosystems to global heating 📉 Without rapid cuts to greenhouse gas emissions, warm-water coral reefs now face a long-term decline This warning comes just as 🌊 Ocean Week 2025 🌊 begins - a full week of debates, exhibitions and events across Europe and online: https://www.oceanweek.eu/ 🤿 Dive into the many challenges facing our Ocean – from overfishing and habitat destruction to pollution and climate change, 🤝 And explore how policy, citizen engagement, education, governance and sustainable practices can shape a better future – for the protection, restoration and sustainable management of our Ocean, its ecosystems and biodiversity 💙 At BIOcean5D, we’re working to generate the data, knowledge and tools – engaging citizens and bridging the science-policy gap – to inform, strengthen and guide effective strategies for a sustainable blue future 🔗 Read more about the Global Tipping Points report here: https://lnkd.in/eXwSEVBx 📸 Credit: Kogia | Cedric Dageville #EUOceanWeek #OceanWeek2025 #SustainableOceans #BluePlanet 🇪🇺 BIOcean5D is co-funded by the European Union (#HorizonEurope) | EU Science, Research and Innovation
