⚠️ OIF in the Southern Ocean does not risk the creation of Toxic Algae Blooms! Some people are fearful of harmful algae blooms growing with ocean iron fertilization, but that’s mostly a myth propagated by scare stories originating from a peculiar incident in the past. Find out what Expert Marine Researcher, Victor Smetacek, has to say about this in today’s episode of Liquid Trees Pod, where we debunk widespread misconceptions about toxic algae and domoic acid in relation to ocean iron and plankton restoration.

🏜️ We Are Protecting a Deserted Ocean! Ocean Iron & Plankton Restoration could play a pivotal role in reviving the diatom-krill-whale cycle disrupted by whaling. By mimicking natural iron cycles once maintained by whales, OIF fosters phytoplankton growth, supports krill populations, and aids carbon sequestration. In this episode, we emphasize the urgent need for action to restore these ecosystems, which were among the planet’s most productive, while exploring the potential for ecosystem restoration through innovative approaches. We have wronged the oceans for decades, and we now need to give back what we took, so tune in to find out how! 🎙️

Unveiling the Role of Diatoms in the Southern Ocean 🌊 Thick-shelled diatoms play a surprising role in silica use, carbon absorption, and ocean ecosystems. Insights from iron fertilization studies like LOHAFEX reveal how phytoplankton communities adapt to changing conditions, offering valuable lessons for understanding climate processes. Explore with us the intricate connections between microscopic marine life and the global carbon cycle in this new episode of Liquid Trees Pod!

🌊We’re back with a deep dive into the fascinating connection between phytoplankton and climate change! ⚡Tensions arise during one OIF experiment, as an intriguing phenomenon occurs! Discover the findings from the EisenEx and EIFEX experiments, meet the hungry copepods (tiny, cute crustaceans), and learn how diatoms (tiny, cute algae) cleverly shield themselves from their hungry predators. And this is only a tiny bit of all the fascinating information from our latest Liquid Trees Pod episode, so don’t let your curiosity wait for too long! 🎙️ #OIF #OceanIronFertilization #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #Diatoms #Microalgae

🙌🏻 We are thrilled to announce our new podcast, where we aim to shed light on the undervalued topic of Ocean Iron & Plankton Restoration! Our guest – Expert Marine Researcher – Prof. Victor Smetacek has prepared an insightful introduction to the origins, scope, and importance of restoring the phytoplankton in the open ocean. 🌊 Phytoplankton production in nutrient-rich areas of the open ocean (High-Nutrient Low-Chlorophyll regions) is limited by iron availability, despite abundant nutrients. John Martin's iron hypothesis proposed that adding iron could trigger plankton blooms, enhancing productivity. Initial experiments confirmed this, showing that iron fertilization drives growth, impacting carbon cycles and ocean ecosystems. 🐳 Whaling and overfishing caused increased scarcity of this essential nutrient in HNLC regions. Keep an eye out for future episodes to better understand why we need to save the whales to slow down global warming. Full video: https://lnkd.in/djrnmWKe

Are you based in South or West India and passionate about water restoration? 🌊 Do you have 20+ hours per week available for a 3-month internship? We're #hiring a Lake Monitoring Intern to help scout lakes with eutrophic conditions. In this role, you'll collect water samples, take photos of lakes in your region, and collaborate with our Science team to identify harmful algal blooms (HABs). Interested?

Meet David Sánchez Romero, our Senior Scientist from Spain, who’s bringing some serious science (and a lot of fun) to Liquid Trees! With a Bachelor's in Molecular Biology from the Universitat de Barcelona, a Master’s in Sustainable Biotechnology from Aalborg University in Copenhagen, and an internship at Stanford University under his belt, David is now leading our mission to restore lakes in India.   Why? Because he’s passionate about: 1. Sequestering carbon and cleaning the environment 2. Raising climate change awareness 3. Empowering local communities to protect biodiversity   Be like David. Join Liquid Trees and make a difference!!  #LakeRestoration #ClimateAction #DCR #Microalgae #CarbonSequestration #JoinTheMission #LiquidTrees  

Nature’s comeback story began with Jayesh Patil, a scientist on a mission. He tackled a lake that was heavily polluted and nearly lifeless. He deploys his microalgae expertise to clean the lakes. His work proved that with the right approach, we can help nature recover and look forward to a cooler tomorrow! #climatechange #globalwarming #SDGs #lakerestoration #sustainablefuture

Calling on our network to help us locate lakes! 🌍 We are seeking lakes that are approximately 2 square kilometres in size for the restoration project. These water bodies play a crucial role in our environment and communities. Tag friends, colleagues, or organizations who may have insights or connections to such lakes. Together, let's make a significant impact on water conservation and sustainability.
