Can you think of 3 ways to divide your research?

2. Is climate change and ocean heat waves threatening larval fish and plankton? Do Algae Blooms threaten larvae?

3. Do plankton react to tides?

4. What is the difference between an Ocean Heat Wave and a Warm Core Rings.

5. How to plankton create oxygen? and do fish larvae do the same?

6. Are ocean currents changing with climate change and creating or eliminating spawning grounds?

Are tuna larvae part of the nightly migration to the surface?

How deep do grown tuna go to feed, into the twilight zone?

The tuna larva photos seem white, is that because they are out of there environment, are they more transparent in the ocean?

What natural color are the otoliths?

Left Panel

Top and middle of panel: Rim of Slope sea (inspired by Marie Tharpe map of ocean floor), with Gulf Stream and warm core rings, small glass lenses placed where on Hernandez chart tuna larvae were found.

Bottom of panel: Ocean surface, being warmed by the sun which is at top left corner

Possible other imagery to incorporate:

Tunnel to twilight, for predators, in warm core ring

Middle Panel

From bottom to top:
Low light, Millions of zooplankton in sound scattering layer, including fish larvae. Inspired by Ernst Haeckels studies of plankton.

Middle of panel: Fish larvae, large glass lens mounted to panel, focusing on tuna larva and otoliths.

At Top: towards the surface and the light, phyloplankton and photosynthesis oxygen creation, which is rising into the air at very top of panel. Carbon absorption into ocean: using carbon and oxygen atom symbols as graphic elements.

Right Panel

From bottom to top:
Twilight zone, seamounts, strange sea fishes, luminescence.

It seems my samples are less populated lately

Have you sailed over the Gulf Stream? Could you tell you were in in it by color, current or otherwise from the surface? Any other descriptions?

It's where I'm thinking of putting small lenses on the left panel in the spots where you found them.]]> 2020-12-08 23:31:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kathyhodgedevault/synergy2/wish/1000406960 kathyhodgedevault https://padlet.com/kathyhodgedevault/synergy2/wish/1000414591 I think in the left panel I'm going to try focus on the Gulf Stream by trying to depict the current. Which is a challenge but I found a good book about the GS (below). Any info you have about the GS or ocean currents in general from your research may spark more ideas about how I can depict it so feel free to send them along.

I also got a book on zooplankton of the Atlantic. The guide, along with looking at plankton under the microscope will be good inspiration for the middle panel. I'm not expecting to render them scientifically in the final project but instead want to capture their qualities in paint. To do that I need to know how they are structured, which is why I'm doing pretty tight renderings to start. I'm actually thinking of buying some live plankton fish food to study, do you think that's a crazy idea?

Last week I went to the New England Aquarium for inspiration. I didn't get much material for the project there, since I'm focusing on much smaller specimens, but it was fun! 

I'm going to do another set of studies for the large paintings, and start preparing my panels for the final project. Once I begin that, I'll post pictures from my studio. Perhaps this spring you could come visit and see my progress. ]]> 2020-12-08 23:36:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kathyhodgedevault/synergy2/wish/1000414591 kathyhodgedevault https://padlet.com/kathyhodgedevault/synergy2/wish/1041506496 My ideas for how to depict the plankton in the middle panel remind me of 'White Writing' paintings of Mark Tobey ]]> 2020-12-24 19:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kathyhodgedevault/synergy2/wish/1041506496 kathyhodgedevault https://padlet.com/kathyhodgedevault/synergy2/wish/1041513083  "Above the Earth" - an inspiration for the exchange of carbon and oxygen at the surface of the ocean]]> 2020-12-24 20:05:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kathyhodgedevault/synergy2/wish/1041513083 kathyhodgedevault https://padlet.com/kathyhodgedevault/synergy2/wish/1041515519 Working on placement of plankton for the lower half of the middle panel.
