Goose and Geese announcing band departures on the same day is an inspired extension of the bit, frankly.

Last night on #OctoOdyssey we saw baby octopus born at 2km water depth. What a privelege to witness- our planet is amazing. Video via @SchmidtOcean ROV pilot Jason Rodriguez. You can catch more on the livestream!

On a recent expedition exploring the Pacific Abyssal Plains, our #deepsea research team captured footage of a 𝘊𝘪𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘶𝘮𝘢 𝘤𝘧. 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘯𝘢 from the deep-sea lander camera at 4800m. This is a rare sighting of a deep-sea cirrrate octopod at this depth.

📢 New paper 📢 Volcanologists often use the melt H2O-CO2 (e.g., melt inclusions, matrix glass) as a barometer to work out how deep magmas are stored or erupted at. But how do oxygen fugacity (fO2) and sulfur impact calculations of the pressure of vapor-saturation?
ALT Graph showing the pressure of vapor-saturation (y-axis) against oxygen fugacity (x-axis) for a Hawaiian tholeiite at 1200 'C with 1000 ppm CO2-eq, 3 wt% H2O-eq, and 1000 ppm S-eq. If there are only oxidised C-O-H species the line is horizontal and hence independent of fO2. If reduced and oxidised C-O-H species are included (but no S), the line starts at the same value as the oxidised C-O-H case at high fO2 but increases with decreasing fO2. If you had S, there is a small maximum in the curve at DFMQ~1. VolatileCalc is similar to the oxidised C-O-H case but at a higher absolute pressure of vapor-saturation. Below, the fO2 of different tectonic settings is shown. The sulfur maximum is in the range of OIB and arc and the reduced fO2 range effects lunar and martian samples.

Amazing footage from our #LostCityVents cruise- what a glorious planet we live on! Thank you to @SchmidtOcean @oceanexplorer & all of our partners for bringing seafloor wonders to light! w/ @WHOI @MBARI_News @noaapmel @tampabayleigh @MicroAlec @M_Davies @rubyspira @MonikaNeufeld
Scenes of fantastical creatures - some floating, others within gigantic mineral towers. Although it sounds like a fairytale, these are the very real ecosystems around the hydrothermal vents seen during the #LostCityVents expedition!

Wherever we dig and however deep we dig we find microscopic living organisms. Could the mysterious microbes in earth’s crust unlock a climate change solution?

All around the world, people are talking about the fantastic work happening at Cape Cod’s @WHOI.
We want to keep the momentum going and put MA on the cutting edge of climate innovation and coastal resiliency. That’s why we’re investing in our blue economy with our budget.

Wonder how magmatic gases from intrusions escape to the surface, and to what extent? 🧵
