Earlier today we counted animals @FC_UL in the Ecologia Numérica class. This below is an image of the students while doing it - the picture was OKed by students for public release. Check my timeline earlier today for details, but the "farm" is seen in the pic below!

Statistics might be, jointly with computer science, the most fundamental stronghold behind a sucessful research oriented university. However, statistics is often disregarded as just mathematics for dummies, as if anyone could do it. Far from truth. Discussing its future Univ. de Lisboa

Day 2 of Centro de Estatística e Aplicações da UL and CEMAT event "The future of statistics Univ. de Lisboa"; discussion led by researchers from Instituto Superior Técnico and eChanges fc.ul.pt and many colleagues from all over the country. There can't be research led universities without strong statistical research centers to supprt it.

Check out this animation on the extent of #bottomtrawling happening inside 🇪🇸 #Natura2000 #MarineProtectedAreas in 2021👇 Can you see how destructive fishing concentrates within so-called 'protected' areas? #BanBottomTrawling #paperparks #30x30 #RestoreOcean

Videos like this are a good remainder of how important code of conducts are for marine conservation. Dozens of people in the water, scuba divers and snorkelers, surrounding 1 whale shark... Complete chaos. Conservation and management without enforcement does not lead anywhere.

Couldn't be more excited to start my masters thesis with Andy Lowther from @NorskPolar! I will be studying the status of the ringed seal population in Svalbard using drone imagery. The aim is to start long-term monitoring of this species and see population trends in the future.

🥳My dream has come true! I have won a permanent position as a researcher to study marine mammals at Instituto Español de Oceanografía (IEO-CSIC) Thanks to all my collaborators and colleagues that have supported me during the journey.

Bon dia! El martinet negre (Egretta ardesiaca) és un ocell que té l'hàbitat natural a rius, llacs i aiguamolls d'Àfrica. Quan és l'hora de caçar estén les ales com un paraigua, així, l'ombra que projecta a l'aigua impedeix que els peixets el vegin venir.

Humpback whales and a pod of orcas!

Sea ice cover in the Southern Ocean is at its lowest ever, with an area the size of Argentina missing

Thrilled to announce I've received the Arctic Field Grant 2024! In May, I'll return to Svalbard to continue the project I began with my master's thesis. We'll use drones to survey fjords, capturing images to count ringed seals for the first population estimate in over 20 years!

It was a pleasure meeting you again, Tiago! I thoroughly enjoyed presenting my thesis to you and your colleagues. Looking forward to meeting in person soon!

Exploring the Arctic as a Research Technician at the @NorskPolar is amazing, but my academic journey isn't over yet! 🐳 I am now seeking PhD positions in spatial, movement, and behavioral ecology, focusing on large marine vertebrates with biotelemetry, bioacoustics, or UAVs.

Guess who's going to Perth for the Marine Mammal Biology Conference Marine Mammalogy this November? So excited! My first international conference, and I'll be volunteering. Hoping to meet people, learn a lot, and maybe find a spot for my PhD thesis! #PerthSMM2024

What a first day at the Marine Mammalogy conference! #smm2024 Awesome presentations, great science, old and new friends, what else?

Ser funcionari no és una feina de per vida que et regala la societat, sinó un servei públic. Parlar en català a l’Administració és un DRET de la ciutadania que el funcionari ha de garantir. Per tant, si no tens el nivell de català adequat, no pots ser funcionari. Ras i curt.

We have a postdoc position open at Marine Mammal Research @ AU. If you have a background in acoustics or biologging and could be interested in working at Aarhus University, Denmark, please get in touch. international.au.dk/about/profile/…
