A Stunning Map Of The Atlantic Ocean Seafloor — And One Woman’s Pioneering Quest To Publish It
--
The geology of the ocean floor is truly spectacular — perhaps even more than land geology. Unfortunately, it's really hard to study.

I spent a lot of this year on boats. I really enjoyed it. I have perfected the art of propping myself snugly on railings of boats of all sizes, trying to take photographs of birds and whales. A tripod is useless on such a boat especially in the chaotic waves of the Monterey or San Francisco Bay.
In August this year, I was on a whale watching boat in Monterey. The captain heard on the radio that several humpbacks were breaching, quite far away. He floored it and I pointed my camera in that general direction, not even having seen the whale yet.
I got this photo of the whale AND a bird above it.

“Our #servicemembers should know that we have their backs as they fulfill their oath to the #Constitution & obligation to follow only lawful orders. It is not only the right thing to do, but also our duty,”the #Democrats said in the stmnt.
"But this isn’t about any one of us. This isn’t about politics. This is about who we are as Americans. Every American must unite & condemn the President’s calls for our #murder & #PoliticalViolence. This is a time for moral clarity."
Democratic Sen Ruben Gallego, a #Marine #combat #veteran, slammed #Trump's comments, telling ABC News that the president "doesn't understand the military."
"He thinks the #military is one of his personal little play toys," said Gallego, who was not in the #Democrats' video. "He, for some reason, thinks that men & women upholding their oath is a contradiction to him as commander in chief — which, again, tells you he doesn't really understand his role."
🌊🌿 #Marine scientists and Chumash tribal leaders are successfully restoring #California's #kelp #forests through collaborative efforts that combine traditional knowledge with modern techniques.
Researchers have achieved significant successes including an 80-acre restoration near #LosAngeles while developing kelp #farming for #carbon capture and agricultural biofertilizers that could help California reach #netzero #emissions.
