Shout-out to my geological aunties in the Other Pond - #AscensionIsland, #SaintHelena, and #TristanDeCunha - who got tall enough to poke their heads above the @atlantic-ocean.bsky.social and then were occupied by the Brits. 😆

Mad props to the #MidAtlanticRidge for being the ultimate makerspace.

Hey, members! Mark your calendars - the 8th Chemosynthesis-Based Ecosystems Symposium / #CBE8 will take place June 2027 in Horta, Faial!

Organised by U. Azores and @okeanos-uac.bsky.social (and the #MidAtlanticRidge within reach), #CBE8 aims to provide new insight into #chemosynthetic environments.
Text overlay on a photograph of an Alvinella pompejana polychaete worm. Text: CBE8 (save the date). Enjoy CBE7 in São Paulo? Stay tuned for details on the upcoming 8th International Symposium On Chemosynthesis-Based Ecosystems (CBE) in the Azores archipelago! Location: Horta, Azores, Portugal; Hosts: University of the Azores/Institute of Marine Sciences OKEANOS; Date: 14-18 June 2027. Did you know that 2027 will mark the 50th anniversary of the discovery of hydrothermal vents?
