In this month's blog post, I demonstrate how to visualize shipping traffic data using R. The tutorial covers downloading the dataset from EMODnet, performing exploratory data analysis, and creating a map using ggplot2.

Great new paper out on the impacts of pharmaceutical pollution in salmonids by @jack-brand.bsky.social and colleagues.

First data paper from my postdoc is now out in Proc B!

We found that psychoactive pollution decreased the migration success of brown trout in a natural lake system! Massive thanks to the coauthor team for their work on this!
