A tale of two ships, part two! Some 3000 miles to the north of @LarvalLab, the Strom Lab has been slogging through some heavy weather in the Gulf of Alaska aboard @sikuliaq. Stay warm and dry, intrepid scientists, and we look forward to seeing you back home soon!

Replying to @LarvalLab
@LarvalLab recently welcomed postdoc Dr. Tanika Ladd. She is working on a project to determine whether larval settlement in the deep sea is associated with microbial cues, as well as other potential factors. Glad to have you @WWU_SPMC, Tanika!

Caption: This is a time lapse video of the sea level of Coos Bay rising by ~16 inches in 9 mins during tsunami. You can see from water line that it has been going up and down even though tide is still rising. We are safe here, but I am praying for Tonga. instagram.com/tv/CYwqUQPpRUX…

Dan Fornari is incredible, and this award is well-deserved. (The plaque design is even based on his mapping work!) Having been on cruises with him, I can say that he operates at a truly awe-inspiring level of knowledge, enthusiasm, and coffee consumption.
After the #AGU2021 session marking Dan Fornari’s remarkable career, Dan received his plaque yesterday (because we didn’t want him to lug it home). Anyone recognize that bit of seafloor? @NSF
