Wintertime water mass modification near an Antarctic Ice Shelf front
(2013-02) - Journal articleUnder ice measurements by seals carrying a miniaturized conductivity–temperature–depth (CTD) instrument fill an important gap in existing observations. Here we present data from an instrumented Weddell seal that spent 8 ... -
Two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in the small magnetic Prandtl number limit
(2012-07-01) - Journal articleIn this paper we introduce a new method for computations of two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence at low magnetic Prandtl number $\Pra=\nu/\eta$. When $\Pra \ll 1$, the magnetic field dissipates at a scale ... -
Biodiversity assessment of freshwater fishes : Thailand as a case study
(University of St Andrews, 2012-11-29) - ThesisA key challenge in biodiversity is: How many species are there on earth? This issue is especially acute in poorly surveyed regions with high diversity, particularly Southeast Asia that also experiences many limitations ... -
Estimating whale abundance using sparse hydrophone arrays
(University of St Andrews, 2012-06-20) - ThesisPassive acoustic monitoring has been used to investigate many aspects of marine mammal ecology, although methods to estimate absolute abundance and density using acoustic data have only been developed in recent years. The ... -
Male mating tactics in the rose bitterling (Rhodeus ocellatus) and European bitterling (Rhodeus amarus)
(University of St Andrews, 2013-06-26) - ThesisThe aim of this study was to investigate the basis to male mating decisions in two related species of bitterling: Rhodeus ocellatus and R. amarus. Bitterling have a resource-based mating system; females lay eggs in the ...
