SUMMARY:Ocean Partnerships Speed Networking "Seaweed: to farm or not to farm?"
DESCRIPTION:Join the Ocean Partnerships Network for another online Speed Networking event over lunchtime! After a 10 minute introduction to this month’s theme\, the Speed Networking begins and you will be paired up with different people for 7 minutes at a time over the course of the hour. A fantastic way to meet people outside your usual network! \nOur aim is to connect people and foster collaborations. Ocean Partnerships recognises the need for practitioners from different disciplines to interact\, exchange experiences and ideas. Based on key marine related themes\, our events are designed to provide opportunities for people from the sciences\, arts\, policy\, private and public sectors to discuss topics of interest\, network and just have fun! \nThis month’s theme has been chosen by Dr Andrew Blight\, Lecturer at the School of Biology\, University of St Andrews: \nSeaweed: to farm or not to farm? \nThere is growing interest in the sustainable use of seaweed or seaweed products for use in food\, skincare or other health industries. Much of the industry in Scotland is based around wild harvest of seaweeds from intertidal habitats. However\, there is growing interest in the development of nearshore seaweed farms to boost this industry. \nWild harvesting or seaweed farms are viewed as sustainable practices which utilise what is considered to be an abundant ocean resource. This discussion session will examine some of the benefits and potential impacts of this industry and what can be done to make sure this practice remains sustainable. \nJoin us as we examine some of the benefits and potential impacts of this industry and what can be done to make sure this practice remains sustainable. \n*Register Here!*

SUMMARY:SMMR Training "Grant Writing for Researchers"
DESCRIPTION:The SMMR-Net are excited to host Dr Kate Smith for this half day training on Grant Writing for Researchers! \n‘Grant Writing’ with Dr Kate Smith covers all you need to know to write successful grant applications speedily and effectively. Offering lots of do’s and don’ts and practical tips and techniques from lived experience\, the session includes research councils and other grant-awarding bodies including philanthropic foundations\, Fellowship applications\, and collaborative applications. Exemplars from the pack are reviewed and discussion about narrative structure\, financial narratives and recommendations for outputs and dissemination are set out.

SUMMARY:Ocean Partnerships Speed Networking "Pace Paradox"
DESCRIPTION:Join the Ocean Partnerships Network for another online Speed Networking event over lunchtime! After a 10 minute introduction to this month’s theme\, the Speed Networking begins and you will be paired up with different people for 7 minutes at a time over the course of the hour. A fantastic way to meet people outside your usual network! \nOur aim is to connect people and foster collaborations. Ocean Partnerships recognises the need for practitioners from different disciplines to interact\, exchange experiences and ideas. Based on key marine related themes\, our events are designed to provide opportunities for people from the sciences\, arts\, policy\, private and public sectors to discuss topics of interest\, network and just have fun! \nThis month’s theme has been chosen by Dr Mark James\, MASTS Operations Director at the University of St Andrews: \n \nPace Paradox in a Fast-Moving World\n \nIn our rapidly evolving world\, we experience a mismatch between the speed of global and environmental change\, technological advances and decision making processes. Many factors contribute to this imbalance which hinders the progress of positive initiatives\, causing a delay in their implementation. As new realities unfurl around us at an unprecendented rate\, our responses appear to lag behind. Join us as we explore the challenges posed by this pace paradox in a fast-moving world and the potential solutions to bridge the gap between intention and implementation.

SUMMARY:SMMR Training (2 half days): Skills for Collaborative Interdisciplinary Research Training
DESCRIPTION:Join the Sustainable Management of UK Marine Resources-Network (SMMR) for this 2 half day online Training on Collaborative Interdisciplinary Research\, run by Dr Frank Siedlok of Heriot-Watt University: \n17th and 18th of October 2023\,  \neach day from 1 – 4:30pm \nThe course will cover 4 main sections:\n \nDisciplines and interdisciplinarity\nExploring what we understand by a discipline and being aware of how disciplinary communities function is an essential starting point. It helps us understand (i) the nature of our own expertise that can be of use in collaborative projects and (ii) how and why our terminologies and processes might be unfamiliar to other collaborators from other disciplines. \nUnderstanding drivers of\, and barriers to\, IDR\nIDR is more difficult than disciplinary research. In this part of the workshop we explore why that is the case and why\, nevertheless\, there are good reasons for engaging with this kind of work. Participants will be able to consider how IDR lines up with their own motivations and interests\, as well as beginning to think about how to overcome barriers. \nIDR practices and skills (part 1)\nThe primary assets collaborators bring to IDR are their disciplinary expertise and enthusiasm. But building IDR projects and communities from scratch requires thoughtful leadership. In this part of the workshop we look at the practices that help researchers grow and maintain IDR projects and build a collaborative community. \nIDR practices and skills (part 2) and conclusion\nIn this final part of the workshop\, the focus is on how researchers can begin to translate the practices and skills into their own contexts.  In this way\, the workshop group can begin to operate as a ‘community of (IDR) practice’ or problem-solving network of contacts for mutual support as new projects are explored in the future. \n \nRegistration: \nThe SMMR Network is pleased to be able to provide this Training to the community at a reduced cost of £15 per person for both days (original cost for this Training £50 per person). \nThis Training will be held online via Microsoft Teams. When purchasing the ticket you will receive an Outlook Meeting invitiation via E-Mail\, which will include the Microsoft Teams Link for the first day (17th). A Microsoft Teams Link for the second day (18th) will be send to you shortly after that.

SUMMARY:Post-Eruption seafloor mapping follow the VEI 5-6 eruption Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai Volcano\, Tonga. (Jan 2022) 
DESCRIPTION:Tune in to the Live Stream here. \n  \nHunga Tonga – Hunga Ha’apai (HTHH)\, one of 22 volcanoes in the waters around the Kingdom of Tonga\, erupted violently on 15th January 2022. This eruption triggered shock waves through the atmosphere and generated a tsunami across the Pacific Ocean. No part of the caldera of the volcano remains above water following the eruption\, and the islands of Hunga Tonga and Hunga Ha’apai were vastly reduced in size. During an oceanographic surveys 3-6 months after the eruption\, we assessed the impacts of this eruption on the surrounding ocean environment\, from underwater topography to ecosystem structure and function. While the HTHH edifice was largely intact\, erosional channels were identified radiating out from the summit caldera indicating turbulent pyroclastic density flows which are supported with our modelling. At least 6 km3 of material was deposited on the seafloor in areas downstream of these pyroclastic flows\, and >50cm of fine ash deposition was observed on the seafloor in some areas. Mid-water volcanic ash layers north of the HTHH caldera were identified which indicate on-going venting from the volcano. Significant seafloor ecosystem impacts were found throughout much of the region\, with little signs of life remaining on the flank of the volcano and along the deeper slope. However\, diverse and abundant invertebrate and fish communities were seen on the summits of several of the adjacent seamounts. This study is a rare account of the initial impact of a large-scale eruption which can be used to better understand volcanic risks to the ocean environment in the future. \nKevin MacKay is a geologist who as been working for NIWA for 32 years in the Fisheries and Ocean Geology groups. He has experience in relational database management and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). He has worked extensively with a variety of data sets in the marine environment including geology and geophysics\, hydrography\, freshwater fisheries\, oceanography\, fisheries\, and biodiversity. Since 2010\, he has been the IODE (Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO\, International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange) National Coordinator for Oceanographic Data Management. \n
