Jean Pierre Desforges said: "From the time the animal was killed, we can backtrack through the animal's whole lifetime,"
ecowatch Monday, May 31, 2021 1:48:00 AM CEST
Jean Pierre Desforges said: "The carbon isotopes are pretty good trackers of habitat use," "The signals of carbon are very different if you're feeding nearshore or offshore like deep in the ocean, if you're feeding along the sediment at the bottom of the ocean or within the water column…and if you're feeding along the ice-associated food web"

Jean Pierre Desforges said: "The diet suggests that mercury should be going down, whereas the mercury levels rise," "Not only that, they rise a lot faster than they had in the previous decades. So the diet is not the major driver of mercury in recent decades. We propose that [the increase in mercury is associated with] increased global emissions of mercury or else a climate change impact where mercury is becoming in the Arctic"
ecowatch Monday, May 31, 2021 1:48:00 AM CEST
Jean Pierre Desforges noted: "we probably have tusks in museums around the world dating back to who knows when," "We can get really valuable information if the tusks are in good shape and preserved in the right way. Samples go back in time before the Industrial Revolution, so we could get a good idea of what the prehuman baseline would be for mercury in marine mammals"

Patrick Rafter said: “When we say iron is recycled in the system more efficiently than other elements, it doesn’t sound like this big, profound statement, but for those of us who have been studying these communities, it’s actually a very important insight into how the system works, how marine plant life functions in the ocean,” “This microbial community has figured out a way to fertilize itself with iron”
news-uci Saturday, May 22, 2021 12:12:00 PM CEST
Patrick Rafter said: “What happens in a decade or a century or a million years?” “Our model proves that if you change the rate at which waters are brought up to the surface, you can allow for more or less iron recycling and self-fertilization by phytoplankton. And then you get more nitrogen consumption and, ultimately, more of this plant growth that can affect the ocean/atmosphere partitioning of carbon dioxide – which impacts the global climate”

Eric Terrill said: “Unfortunately, the basin offshore Los Angeles had been a dumping ground for industrial waste for several decades, beginning in the 1930s. We found an extensive debris field in the wide area survey,”
oceannews Thursday, May 13, 2021 9:51:00 PM CEST
Eric Terrill said: “There are several distinct track-line patterns in the surveyed area, suggesting that the dumping was repeatedly done from an underway platform such as a moving ship or barge. Some of those lines are as long as 11 miles and approach state waters,” “While our mapping sonars cannot measure the contents inside the barrels, the target locations are consistent with the previously identified dumpsite and extend much further than we expected”

Richard Blumenthal said: “Small schooling fish like herring, sardines, and anchovies provide essential sustenance to bigger fish, whales, seals, osprey, and other treasured marine wildlife in the Long Island Sound, supporting local economies and recreation,” “Many of these small fish are also a key part of the commercial fishing stock, essential to the regional economy”
