We're carrying out ocean modelling in the Firth of Forth region during spring and summer to assess the potential effects of offshore wind farms on ocean structure. This animation shows how sea surface temperatures change through March to September. [1/2] #NationalMarineWeek

For this month's #planktonofthemonth we're going to take a look at Ciliates. 🔬 Ciliates are important predators in the plankton community. 🧑‍🔬 This video of a ciliate from the #SCObs site at #Stonehaven shows how it captures its prey.⬇️ #popularscience #plankton

Very chuffed with this new paper led by my fantastic PhD student Danny Dunbar published in @JFluidMech Through DNS and flow tunnel experiments we give new insights in oscillatory boundary layer flows over irregular rough (sediment) beds. doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2022.109… #OpenAccess

Ladies, gents, & others: I'm co-PI on a cluster of six funded #PhD projects at @UniOfHull, recruiting now. They all look at sustainable technologies in fishing and farming, and the effects on fishers and farmers and their communities. Specifics in the 🧵. hull.ac.uk/study/postgraduat…

We are extremely excited to share with the climate community (and beyond) the revamped @ClimDataGuide! #OpenScience Explore 100s of different weather and climate datasets, along with the statistical tools to analyze them. ➡️ Check it out at climatedataguide.ucar.edu/!
Screenshot of the NCAR Climate Data Guide homepage, which headlines actionable insights on climate data from climate experts. There is a quote listed, which states "one golden observation is worth a thousand simulations." Satellite images of Earth are shown in the background.

Challenge 8.4 asks how can technology help us better assess and identify projects and opportunities that will improve and increase investment in Scotland's marine natural capital? 🐟 #ScotlandIsNow #COP27 civtech.scot/welcome-to-civt…
Set against a blurry purple background. To the left is a large number 8 that spans from the top of the image to the bottom, filled with an image of a Seal resting on a rock. CivTech logo on the right with an 8 in brackets. Innovate for Nature in the middle of the two. Underneath the CivTech is a subheading that reads Challenge 8.4. The caption reads ‘How can technology help us better assess and identify projects and opportunities that will improve and increase investment in Scotland’s marine natural capital?’. At the bottom of the image is the MarineScot logo. All text and logos are white
