🚨We're hiring a physical oceanographer in a PERMANENT POSITION at NOC Marine Physics🚨 - this job will focus on developing exciting new methods to understand how climate change is affecting the Atlantic Ocean using hydrographic data. Deadline November 15th: shorturl.at/jMOR1

To further celebrate #ScienceDay at #COP27 we invited @RJLilley from Project Seagrass to write a guest blog for our COP27 blog series🌱🌊 He reflects on the ever-growing interest in seagrass ecosystems in Scotland - check it out ⬇️ bit.ly/SeagrassCOP27

We are extremely excited to share with the climate community (and beyond) the revamped @ClimDataGuide! #OpenScience Explore 100s of different weather and climate datasets, along with the statistical tools to analyze them. ➡️ Check it out at climatedataguide.ucar.edu!

Such a great time at MASTS Annual Science meeting last week, my first MASTS meeting in person, the chance to share our work on the @Compass_MPA project and the opportunity to meet fellow marine researchers and enthusiasts 🌊📊⛴

SPRE has been moving towards a 'praxis-based' approach to research-policy engagement. Join SPRE Director, Nick Bibby, on Tuesday 6th Dec 1-2pm to explore tools and strategies to support more effective policy engagement. 👉bit.ly/rt-praxis👈 #RethinkingPolicyImpact

Today is #BiodiversityDay at #COP27 🌱🌊 Check out the latest in our COP27 blog series - by increasing the amount of woodland next to rivers it is possible to reduce some of the effects of #climatechange on #rivertemperature⬇️ bit.ly/RiverTemp

Ladies, gents, & others: I'm co-PI on a cluster of six funded #PhD projects at University of Hull, recruiting now. They all look at sustainable technologies in fishing and farming, and the effects on fishers and farmers and their communities. Specifics in the 🧵. hull.ac.uk/study/postgrad…

Very chuffed with this new paper led by my fantastic PhD student Danny Dunbar published in Journal of Fluid Mechanics Through DNS and flow tunnel experiments we give new insights in oscillatory boundary layer flows over irregular rough (sediment) beds. doi.org/10.1017/jfm.20… #OpenAccess

Happy days this week installing our new stereo-PIV system - image calibration has come a long way since I last used PIV! Can't wait to start using it properly #FlumeFriday

For this month's #planktonofthemonth we're going to take a look at Ciliates. 🔬 Ciliates are important predators in the plankton community. 🧑‍🔬 This video of a ciliate from the #SCObs site at #Stonehaven shows how it captures its prey.⬇️ #popularscience #plankton

The 2nd international #BlueCarbonScot project ‘Blue Forests’ funded by Scottish Government has been published. The report brings together insights on seaweed aquaculture & potential carbon offset strategies. Dr Alasdair O'Dell Scottish Association for Marine Science explains more: ow.ly/YcNh50P3IaY

We're carrying out ocean modelling in the Firth of Forth region during spring and summer to assess the potential effects of offshore wind farms on ocean structure. This animation shows how sea surface temperatures change through March to September. [1/2] #NationalMarineWeek
