A comparison of gridded sea surface temperature datasets for marine ecosystem studies
(2014-12-03) - Journal articleIn assessing impacts of a changing environment on the structure and functioning of marine ecosystems, the challenge remains to distinguish the effects of noise and of temporal and spatial autocorrelation from environmental ... -
The frontal system of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current : marine mammals as ocean explorers
(University of St Andrews, 2008-11-27) - ThesisIn this thesis, I describe large-scale and small-scale features of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) by merging conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) data obtained by novel animal-borne sensors with data obtained by ... -
The generalized data management and collection protocol for Conductivity-Temperature-Depth Satellite Relay Data Loggers
(2015-07-29) - Journal articleThe software routines for data sampling and processing that are implemented on-board telemetry devices (tags) called Conductivity-Temperature-Depth Satellite Relay Data Loggers (CTD-SRDLs) enable the simultaneous collection ... -
Geochemical imprints of genotypic variants of Globigerina bulloides in the Arabian Sea
(2016-10-29) - Journal articlePlanktonic foraminifera record oceanic conditions in their shell geochemistry. Many palaeoenvironmental studies have used fossil planktonic foraminifera to constrain past seawater properties by defining species based on ... -
Methodology for single-cell genetic analysis of planktonic foraminifera for studies of protist diversity and evolution
(2016-12-15) - Journal itemSingle-cell genetic analysis is an essential method to investigate the biodiversity and evolutionary ecology of marine protists. In protist groups that do not reproduce under laboratory conditions, this approach provides ... -
Reconstructing coral calcification fluid dissolved inorganic carbon chemistry from skeletal boron : an exploration of potential controls on coral aragonite B/Ca
(2017-08) - Journal articleThe boron geochemistry of coral skeletons reflects the dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) chemistry of the calcification fluid from which the skeletons precipitates and may be a valuable tool to investigate the effects of ... -
Resolving issues with environmental impact assessment of marine renewable energy installations
(2014-12-16) - Journal articleGrowing concerns about climate change and energy security have fueled a rapid increase in the development of marine renewable energy installations (MREIs). The potential ecological consequences of increased use of these ... -
The transport of Icelandic volcanic ash: insights from northern European cryptotephra records
(2016-10-30) - Journal articleFine ash produced during volcanic eruptions can be dispersed over a vast area, where it poses a threat to aviation, human health, and infrastructure. We analyze the particle size distributions, geochemistry, and glass shard ...
