Critical Marine Habitats Project: Kittiwake-sandeel paper!
http://cmarhab.blogspot.com/2012/11/kittiwake-sandeel-paper.html
Critical Marine Habitats Project. Friday, 23 November 2012. I should have also mentioned in my previous post that we now have a publication out on our sandeel-kittiwake work. This showed that sandeels aggregated close to the surface during maximum ebb tidal currents, and this was associated with maximum kittiwake feeding. However this only occurred in limited locations, especially those locations with high sub-surface chlorophyll levels, thus creating localised foraging 'hotspots'. This is the blog for o...

Critical Marine Habitats Project: In the news!
http://cmarhab.blogspot.com/2009/05/in-news.html
Critical Marine Habitats Project. Tuesday, 5 May 2009. Check out this link. To an article on our project in the EU Projects magazine. This gives a great update on some of our progress to date. We had a great project meeting in the Lakes at the end of January revealing some interesting insights already. Photos credited to Jim Roberts (MRAG). These differences between bank and off-bank are likely, at least in part, to be related to the exciting dye tracking results (Mark Inall, SAMS) that showed that any n...

Critical Marine Habitats Project: ...still in progress but soon!
http://cmarhab.blogspot.com/2012/11/still-in-progress-but-soon.html
Critical Marine Habitats Project. Monday, 19 November 2012. Still in progress but soon! It won't be long now before all the cruise results are published in a special issue of Progress in Oceanography - we are just making the final changes to the papers. It should be in press early next year. So keep watching this space - a summary of all the papers findings will be posted here once the papers are in press. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). This is a NERC 'sustainable marine bioresources'.

Critical Marine Habitats Project: Work continues!
http://cmarhab.blogspot.com/2010/05/work-continues.html
Critical Marine Habitats Project. Monday, 24 May 2010. Just a short note - the work continues on the project despite the quietness of the blog! I'm currently on maternity leave (see photo), but meanwhile the project rumbles on without me. We recently had a project workshop in Glasgow, so I'll get a summary and post it on here soon. However, we're aiming for publishing our findings from the James Cook cruise in a special issue of Progress in Oceanography. so watch this space. At the University of Aberdeen.

Critical Marine Habitats Project: Bonanza day(s)
http://cmarhab.blogspot.com/2008/07/bonanza-days.html
Critical Marine Habitats Project. Saturday, 26 July 2008. The shelf edge was as exciting as I was hoping, and it felt a bit like the last day of school, the way everyone was grinning all day. They wanted to make sure that they got some interesting birdy sightings at the shelf edge. As I popped out onto the back deck, all three birders turned and beckoned, grins on their faces and gleams in their eyes like little schoolboys… ‘it’s a Wilson’s storm petrel! Now, I've never seen a killer whale in the wild in...

Critical Marine Habitats Project: End of project - update coming soon!
http://cmarhab.blogspot.com/2011/01/end-of-project-update-coming-soon.html
Critical Marine Habitats Project. Friday, 21 January 2011. End of project - update coming soon! So watch this space for exciting results to come! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). We’ve called these areas ‘critical marine habitats’ because they are likely to be critical to the foraging of multiple trophic levels. This is a NERC 'sustainable marine bioresources'. Funded project headed by Dr Beth Scott. At the University of Aberdeen. By Dr Jonathan Sharples. At Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory.

Critical Marine Habitats Project: June 2008
http://cmarhab.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Critical Marine Habitats Project. Thursday, 26 June 2008. The journey begins (well for the equipment at least). To join their equipment and whisked off down to Southampton to be met by us on the boat on Monday. I think, here in Aberdeen, we're one exhausted bunch, and looking forward to a weekend of relaxation before our voyage. Yawn! Exciting though. next blog will be from Southampton! Friday, 20 June 2008. Welcome to our blog! It's headed by Dr Beth Scott. JNCC (Joint Nature Conservation Council).
