This month’s blog dives into underwater cables in the German North Sea. Using EMODnet data and R, I mapped telecom & power cables, exploring, cleaning, and visualizing the data to reveal these hidden seafloor infrastructures. #Rstats #GeospatialAnalysis #DataVisualization #cables #Rmaps

Using lightweight bird-borne cameras, scientists have captured unique footage of Indian Ocean seabirds speeding just above the waves to catch flying fish.

In this post, we'll explore oil and gas infrastructure in the German North Sea. Using EMODnet geospatial data to map offshore installations and pipelines, as well as focusing on a site near the ecologically sensitive Borkum Reef, revealing why recent projects there have sparked environmental concern

Hi! The meetings sound fantastic! I was wondering, are they specifically intended for PhDs working in the marine environment around the British and Irish Isles, or are they also open to postdocs or others studying seabirds more broadly? Always curious about others' work in the field.🌈
