We’re heading out again!!
SOCCOM is gearing up for another voyage to the Southern Ocean this December! Come along for the ride and get updates on our floats and all the science in the Southern Ocean. If you’d like to bring our project into your classroom, hit us up!
SOCCOM is featured on @mbari-blog website!
Check it out: mbari.org/a-profiling-fl…
As global climate change accelerates with increasingly substantial impacts on communities worldwide, the need to understand and make reliable projections of future climate becomes ever more imperative.

Where did all the color go? This staghorn coral in National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa has bleached.
When corals experience stress, they release the photosynthetic algae that give them their bright colors, help remove metabolic wastes, and provide corals with food.
So why are corals releasing these important algae? When we burn fossil fuels like oil and gas, we release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This carbon dioxide builds up and acts like a heat-trapping blanket, warming the planet. This added warmth does help zooxanthellae photosynthesize – but the increased rate of photosynthesis can put these algae in a sort of “overdrive” that doesn’t give them time to repair their tissues. When they can’t repair, zooxanthellae start to release compounds toxic to corals. In response, corals expel algae from their tissues to avoid further damage. Without their algae, corals can die.
How can we slow this process down and protect our oceans? By working with your community to reduce our fossil fuel usage, you can help protect the health of corals daily – no matter where you live! What will your community do to help support coral reefs?

11 Tips for Living On a Research Boat
Our scientist, Hannah Zanowski, reflects on life aboard the Polarstern:
“I guess the most surprising things are all the little details you need to think about that you wouldn’t normally on land.
1. Tie your stuff down. All the time. Always. It will fall down and roll or break otherwise haha.
2. Sometimes keeping yourself in your bed is hard when the ship is rolling a lot.
3. Having to separate trash into burnable vs. non-burnable items. It makes sense but I wouldn’t have thought of it on my own.
4. Don’t stack your plates after meal times. They will fall if the ship rocks too hard.
5. Every ship is different and has it’s own particulars to follow. For example, here we cannot enter the C-Deck mess in our work clothes, and the captain and other main crew members have a particular table designated for them. Smoking is allowed on certain days in certain places (ick).
6. Getting used to the shipboard lingo. “Your polar clothes are ready for pickup on the monkey deck.” Great, where the heck is that? Aren’t they all supposed to be letters?
7. Everything is in German (not surprising really), but the important announcements and signs are in English as well. However not everything is translated so sometimes you just have to guess.
8. Walking is hard. Standing is hard. You should always keep one hand holding on to something when you are moving around, especially going up and down the absurdly steep stairs.
9. Don’t waste fresh water, though you shouldn’t be wasting it on land either…
10. Be on time. If you don’t have your act together it could hold up someone else.
11. There are loads of different types of scientists aboard the ship, not just physical and chemical oceanographers. We have ice corers, biologists, people who are going to take zooplankton catches and who study things that live right under the ice (don’t know what to call them haha), whale watchers…”
