  • A comparison of gridded sea surface temperature datasets for marine ecosystem studies 

    Boehme, Lars; Lonergan, Mike; Todd, Christopher David (2014-12-03) - Journal article
    In 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 

    Boehme, Lars (University of St Andrews, 2008-11-27) - Thesis
    In 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 

    Photopoulou, Theoni; Fedak, Mike; Matthiopoulos, Jason; McConnell, Bernie J; Lovell, Philip (2015-07-29) - Journal article
    The 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 

    Sadekov, Aleksey Yu.; Darling, Kate F.; Ishimura, Toyoho; Wade, Christopher M.; Kimoto, Katsunori; Singh, Arun Deo; Anand, Pallavi; Kroon, Dick; Jung, Simon; Ganssen, Gerald; Ganeshram, Raja; Tsunogai, Urumu; Elderfield, Henry (2016-10-29) - Journal article
    Planktonic 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 

    Weiner, Agnes K M; Morard, Raphael; Weinkauf, Manuel F. G.; Darling, Kate F.; André, Aurore; Quillévéré, Frédéric; Ujiie, Yurika; Douady, Christophe J.; de Vargas, Colomban; Kucera, Michal (2016-12-15) - Journal item
    Single-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 ...

  • Resolving issues with environmental impact assessment of marine renewable energy installations 

    Maclean, Ilya M. D.; Inger, Richard; Benson, David; Booth, Cormac G.; Embling, Clare B.; Grecian, W. James; Heymans, Johanna J.; Plummer, Kate E.; Shackshaft, Michael; Sparling, Carol E.; Wilson, Ben; Wright, Lucy J.; Bradbury, Gareth; Christen, Nadja; Godley, Brendan J.; Jackson, Angus C.; McCluskie, Aly; Nicholls-Lee, Rachel; Bearhop, Stuart (2014-12-16) - Journal article
    Growing 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 

    Watson, E. J.; Swindles, G. T.; Stevenson, J. A.; Savov, I.; Lawson, I. T. (2016-10-30) - Journal article
    Fine 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 ...
