Dr. Stacey Felgate

@Radford_Freya And after all that… a huge thank you to my amazing team of co-authors on this one, especially the every patient and supportive @OceanRics and my partner in seagrass-y fieldwork crime, @Oceanic_Dave. Only six years in the making…! 😅 Let’s do it again soon? 🙏

This study also led to a #microplastics paper led by @Radford_Freya. In that study we found substantial microplastics deposits despite the remote and uninhabited nature of the Atoll. Seagrass canopy didn’t influence microplastic accumulation either. doi.org/10.1016/j.envp…

@MikePeacock86 Kind of, tho I think it’s Simpson’s if the two groups both operated in opposite direction to data as a whole, whereas here they look (to my eye) to operate in opposing directions. But you see what I mean.

@StaceyFelgate Ah ha, à la Simpson's paradox en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson%2…

Classic example of picking the trendlines in Excel with the highest R2 values, without actually thinking through the implications of what these trendlines might mean. #PeatTwitter mdpi.com/2073-445X/13/6…

@ap3489 @MarijaSciberras @micheljkaiser Not yet! Still underway, but aiming to submit in October 👌🏼 Thanks for your interest.

@StaceyFelgate @MarijaSciberras @micheljkaiser Interesting! Is this published anywhere? Would be interested to read about your findings!

Interested in how trawling affects benthic carbon processing? 🤔 Come hear about our systematic review into what we know, what we don’t know, and where the uncertainties lie (w/ @MarijaSciberras @micheljkaiser) Hall X1 (Board 1.40) today from 16:15 - 18:00 #EGU24 👋🏼

@OurSharedOcean @UCC @Oceanic_Dave @UBBZE @LyellCentre @CZMAIBelize @dr_aaron_lim @UBERIBZ @ICMCSIC Release from @UBBZE following our visit to their #Belmopan Campus last week: m.facebook.com/story.php?stor…

@OurSharedOcean @UCC @Oceanic_Dave @UBBZE @LyellCentre @CZMAIBelize @dr_aaron_lim @UBERIBZ Our @UBERIBZ boat captain suggested a new study site w/ healthy #mangroves, great #seagrass visualisation for drone, wide enough channel for the #satellite resolution... it’s perfect!👌🏼 This is why local advice, co-planning, eyes on the ground BEFORE fieldwork is best practice.

This week we’re in #Belize kicking off #SEAMANS_C, an @OurSharedOcean #capacitybuilding project led by Antonio Cano @UBBZE and @dr_aaron_lim @UCC. We’ll be looking at #seagrass #habitatmapping and #bluecarbon 🌱 🗺️ Follow along for updates! 🤓 ucc.ie/en/earthocean/…

@DrJoseMFarinas I would love to talk to you about this work! We’re working on another OSO project looking at lobster habitat to inform management practices (in Belize), so there’s maybe some overlap / synergies 🤔
