Science/coastal hivemind, I need your help. We’re working on the underwater acoustics of small all-electric boats (almost certainly far less underwater noise pollution than engines). We would like to do some trials - just measuring the sound near an electric boat - but we’re struggling to find someone in (or very near) the UK who has an electric boat we could use/hire. Has anyone got any ideas or know anyone who owns an electric boat?
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale 🎶 , a tale of a fateful trip, 🎶
that started from this #Halifax port,
aboard this tiny ship (canoe, actually).
So we're back, let me tell you how our day went?
There's only one high tide today, and it was sunny and fairly warm, so we took the canoe out fishing.
Here's what it looked like when we left 🎵 for a three hour tour. ⛵
How's the weather where you are, #SEA / #Indonesia folks? It looks like I'm on the "right" side of Java as far as cool weather goes, because it's been like the north of England in Yogyakarta. Very cold, grey, and raining here and there. It's actually cold enough at night that I'm going out with my wife's turtleneck underneath my jacket.

A great way to start a cold winter day is to walk along the Pescara seafront listening to the latest episode of DjangoChat, hosted by William Vincent and Carlton Gibson, with guest Simon Willison 🌅🎧
The episode is long, the first part was very interesting, for the second I'll take another walk.🏖️🚶♂️

What is not to love about the clear turquoise water surrounding the island of Aruba! It's hard to tell that this beach was quite crowded in April. To my right it was full of people lounging in chairs under umbrellas while others were swimming and snorkeling.
Defence Intelligence of Ukraine has said that Ukraine has regained control of gas and oil drilling platforms near occupied Crimea, known as the Boyko Towers.
I'm posting this graph by Eliot Jacobson here because I think it's truly remarkable how strong this outlier is growing to be.
It means that #sea temperatures are extremely unusually higher than normal, and the departure from the historical record is almost off the charts. #climatechange#heat
The effects? I couldn't tell you, but I do get the idea that it won't be very pleasant
When we hear that #2023 is the hottest year ever, it is hard to understand the extent. Maybe it is only just a little bit hotter? Unfortunately no. I am back from a symposium on marine environment at Tohoku University, and here is the picture that I saw. Regarding #sea surface #temperature, 2023 is hotter to an extent that was never observed since we monitor that temperature globally. https://climate.copernicus.eu/record-high-global-sea-surface-temperatures-continue-august
