📢 NEW PAPER! Our new SOLSTICE-WIO paper is out, led by Dr Fatma Jebri at National Oceanography Centre "Unravelling links between squid catch variations and biophysical mechanisms in South African waters" doi.org/10.1016/j.dsr2…

In this SHORT COMMUNICATION in #WIOJMS Swaleh Ali Aboud and I demonstrate and present a framework to process #AUVs images semi-autonomously. WIOMSA ajol.info/index.php/wioj…

Our More Than Minutes from day 1 of the @nocnews Indian Ocean Workshop

How cool is this?! More Than Minutes for our #IndianOcean workshop with National Oceanography Centre & SOLSTICE-WIO colleagues 😆

Such a wonderful, colourful record of our meeting thanks More Than Minutes

We definitely 🐝 brought back the buzz 🐝 with our Indian Ocean Workshop this week National Oceanography Centre

Received digital copies of our visual minutes from our National Oceanography Centre #IndianOcean Workshop today Thanks More Than Minutes they are fantastic! Available to download along with other outreach materials from our website solstice-wio.org/outputs/solsti… #OceanDecade #OceanScience

Many congratulations to our #ECR Kennedy Osuka on passing his PhD viva 👏👏👏🥳🍾🥂

📢Paper alert📢 Drivers of productivity on the Agulhas Bank and the importance for marine ecosystems 🦑🦠🌬️ 🔗doi.org/10.1016/j.dsr2… by Z Jacobs Dr Zoe Jacobs , M Roberts, F Jebri, M Srokosz, S Kelly, W Sauer, J Bruggeman, E Popova SOLSTICE-WIO #MarineEcosystems National Oceanography Centre

📢Paper alert📢 Earth Observation and Machine Learning Reveal the Dynamics of Productive Upwelling Regimes on the Agulhas Bank🛰️🖥️ by F Jebri, M Srokosz, Z Jacobs, F Nencioli, E Popova in Frontiers - Marine Science 🔗doi.org/10.3389/fmars.… #NERCpapers #MachineLearning #OceanObservation

In a ground-breaking study, scientists from the NOC have used AI to understand the effects of the Agulhas Current on the productivity of upwelling regimes. 🌐 The study was conducted as part of SOLSTICE-WIO. Find out more about how it was done here 🆕 bit.ly/3MhwiCw

Very much looking forward to todays discussions on enabling and strengthening sustainable ocean economies CME Programme SOLSTICE-WIO ACCORDocean

Thank you International Seabed Authority for inviting me to present a statement this morning on women empowerment & leadership. I talked about the great capacity building activities conducted during SOLSTICE-WIO resulting in publications led by women scientists in the WIO region. National Oceanography Centre

Another SOLSTICE-WIO paper has been published by Bruggeman et al. who use process-based modelling to explore whether environmental variability explains variability in catch of the chokka squid off the Agulhas Bank, South Africa. Check it out here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

My latest (& final 😭) paper from SOLSTICE-WIO is now fully available online 🥳, which uses #lagrangian #modelling to investigate #retention properties on the #Agulhas Bank, #SouthAfrica 🇿🇦 in relation to the chokka squid 🦑 species. Check it out here :D sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We are now recruiting for a permanent coastal-ocean modeller post to work with NEMO in NW European shelf seas and other seas around the world. If you're interested see: careers.noc.ac.uk/vacancy/coasta… or get in touch with me.

NOC scientists have developed a new method to monitor the effects of climate change on coastal upwelling. The new methodology will support the growth of local fisheries in Somalia. 🐟 Learn more about the development and the SOLSTICE project here 📰 bit.ly/3C8muIw
