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

The 2nd international #BlueCarbonScot project ‘Blue Forests’ funded by @ScotGov has been published. The report brings together insights on seaweed aquaculture & potential carbon offset strategies. Dr Alasdair O'Dell @SAMSoceannews explains more: ow.ly/YcNh50P3IaY

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

Highlights for the ocean climate of the North Atlantic in 2022, just published by ICES Working Group on Oceanic Hydrography! 🌊🌍 For more information visit: ocean.ices.dk/core/iroc

We are proud to present a short memoir of the #GreatBritishBioturbation-athon in the style of #wesanderson and created by the great @mattjarvismedia with performances from the #convexseascapesurvey bioturbation team 🪱🐚 Enjoy! @ConvexIn @Bluemarinef @UniofExeter

It’s been a busy day for #RRSDiscovery as it welcomed a number of tours in Dundee. We welcomed dignitaries and media from the local area as well as students from a local primary school! ✏️ Find out more on our latest blog post 📖 blogs.noc.ac.uk/discovery100/f… #Discovery100

Great morning with @NOCnews & @DiscoveryDundee celebrating a century of science on ships named RRS Discovery & lovely to see @SAMSoceannews scientists showcasing their excellent work & flying the flag for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 marine science! @marinescotland @mastscot + amazing rail journey 😍

Save the date!! 25-27 June 2024, 10th @iahr International Symposium on Environmental Hydraulics (ISEH2024) @aberdeenuni. More info on iseh2024.org, 1st call for abstracts to open very soon! (no worries, subm. only closes in Oct) #FlumeFriday #ISEH2024

Happy days this week installing our new stereo-PIV system - image calibration has come a long way since I last used PIV! Can't wait to start using it properly #FlumeFriday

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.20… #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/postgrad…

Today is #BiodiversityDay at #COP27 🌱🌊 Check out the latest in our COP27 blog series - by increasing the amount of woodland next to rivers it is possible to reduce some of the effects of #climatechange on #rivertemperature⬇️ bit.ly/RiverTemp

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!

SPRE has been moving towards a 'praxis-based' approach to research-policy engagement. Join SPRE Director, Nick Bibby, on Tuesday 6th Dec 1-2pm to explore tools and strategies to support more effective policy engagement. 👉bit.ly/rt-praxis👈 #RethinkingPolicyImpact

Such a great time at MASTS Annual Science meeting last week, my first @mastscot meeting in person, the chance to share our work on the @Compass_MPA project and the opportunity to meet fellow marine researchers and enthusiasts 🌊📊⛴

How can technology help us better assess & identify projects & opportunities that will improve and increase investment in Scotland’s #marinenaturalcapital? Find out more about the #CivTech8 challenge we're sponsoring at civtech.scot/civtech-8-chal… #InnovateForNature @CivTechScotland

🚨We're hiring a physical oceanographer in a PERMANENT POSITION at @NOCmarinePhys🚨 - this job will focus on developing exciting new methods to understand how climate change is affecting the Atlantic Ocean using hydrographic data. Deadline November 15th: shorturl.at/jMOR1

To further celebrate #ScienceDay at #COP27 we invited @RJLilley from @ProjectSeagrass to write a guest blog for our COP27 blog series🌱🌊 He reflects on the ever-growing interest in seagrass ecosystems in Scotland - check it out ⬇️ bit.ly/SeagrassCOP27

Great to see the @aberdeenuni Oscillatory Flow Tunnel as part of the new @mastscot banner! @OttoNeshamar @dominicvandera
