SUMMARY:Advances in Digital Aerial Surveying
DESCRIPTION:For over a decade\, Digital Aerial Surveys (DAS) have become the standard method to monitor seabirds and marine mammals around offshore wind farms and much beyond. They are fast and cost-efficient. By covering large areas in short time DAS are the best option for marine wildlife monitoring. While standardization and keeping the method constant is important\, technology is advancing. New sensors\, new platforms such as drones and new analytical tools by AI offer vast options to improve existing methods. As such\, HiDef Aerial Surveying\, BioConsult SH and Biotope as the leading providers of DAS based on HiDefs bespoke video system\, are advancing the techniques and analytical methods. How do these advances influence the quality of the data\, how do new surveys relate to existing data\, do ‘better’ surveys and possibly higher detection rates affect long-term data series? \nWe will address these questions in this webinar where we will outline how we are advancing our method for digital aerial surveying

SUMMARY:MASTS Open Forum Session "Developing a stunning system for decapod crustaceans"
DESCRIPTION:The MASTS Sustainable Aquaculture Forum is excited to host this free Open Forum Session with an interesting talk on: \n~\nDeveloping a stunning system for decapod crustaceans\nSpeaker: Dr. Niki Khan\, Lead Bioscientist\, Ace Aquatec \nSince 2022\, decapod crustaceans\, such as crabs\, lobsters\, and prawns\, have been recognised by UK legislation as ‘sentient beings’. Despite this\, there has been little movement on industry regulations\, and decapod crustaceans are often treated in extreme ways. For example\, most are killed by suffocation\, chilling\, or by boiling- methods that would be unthinkable for terrestrial species. \nChange is currently being driven by consumers\, and supermarkets have accepted this change in public attitudes with increasing bias towards producers that adopt welfare focused practices\, such as electrical stunning. For producers that adopt this practice shift there is increased market access. However\, the majority of decapod production originates from small-scale businesses\, and these producers risk being locked out of the global market due to the cost and access to electrical stunning equipment.\nLarge-scale electrical stunners exist\, and on the other end of the scale\, is the Crustastun\, where a single individual is stunned at a time. These are useful in very different scenarios; either large scale production\, or individual processing such as that seen in restaurants. However\, currently\, there are no ‘in between’ solutions- something that can stun more than one individual at a time\, but doesn’t require a multi-tonne throughput. \nHere\, I will discuss the development of a small scale\, portable\, in-water electrical stunner with a 20kg batch capacity. This would be a valuable opportunity to also discuss further practical applications of such a stunner\, as well as design considerations. \n~\nRegister Here!\n~\nImages: Unsplash

SUMMARY:MASTS Biogeochemistry Open Forum Session: Novel Tools for Air–Water Gas Exchange Monitoring
DESCRIPTION:The MASTS BioGeoChemistry (BGC) forum are pleased to host an open forum session with Dr. Sevda Norouzi (Postdoctoral Researcher\, Heriot-Watt University). \nAdvancing Carbon Flux Measurement with GETCO2 and Insi‑K: Novel Tools for Air–Water Gas Exchange Monitoring\nDr. Norouzi will introduce two cutting-edge instruments that significantly advance our ability to measure and understand CO₂ exchange: \n\nInsi K\, a field-deployable\, automated gas exchange analyser that delivers high-resolution\, continuous measurements of CO₂ concentrations in both air and water. Its combination of precision\, portability\, and affordability makes it especially valuable for deployment in remote or data-scarce regions.\nGETCO2\, a next-generation sealed gas exchange tank designed to provide a controlled environment for isolating and studying specific physical\, chemical\, and biological factors influencing gas exchange. It enables precise\, repeatable estimation of gas transfer velocities\, particularly in laboratory settings.\n\nTogether\, these tools form a robust\, flexible platform for probing how organic matter and other biogeochemical processes influence air–water gas exchange across a wide range of freshwater and marine systems. Whether used independently or in tandem\, Insi K and GETCO2 offer transformative capabilities that help close critical knowledge gaps in global carbon cycling\, climate regulation\, and the health of aquatic ecosystems.

SUMMARY:Webinar - launch of new Centre for Joined-Up Sustainability Transformations
DESCRIPTION:The new Centre for Joined-Up Sustainability Transformations (JUST)\, funded by UK Research and Innovation’s Building a Green Future strategic theme and the Economic and Social Research Council\, are pleased to invite you to join their launch webinar. \n\nThe webinar will be held on Tuesday 15 July 2025\, 14.00-15.00 BST (UTC+1). Please see further information below. \n\nIf you would like to attend\, please register via Eventbrite here. \n\nJoining up for just outcomes: an agenda for research and action on sustainability transformations \nThe JUST Centre puts justice at the heart of sustainability transformations: the Centre’s ambition is to support a fair transition to net zero by transforming the processes and structures that leave many people and places out of the Low Carbon Living agenda. The Centre is accelerating research-informed action that engages\, enables and empowers marginalised people\, to develop methods\, tools and strategies for thinking and action on sustainability. By ‘marginalised’ we mean those facing socio-economic\, infrastructural\, geographical and political inequalities that inhibit their participation in climate mitigation and adaptation\, while also increasing their vulnerability to climate change impacts. ‘Joined-up’ means bridging the gaps between myriad\, but presently disconnected\, evidence bases\, interventions and policies focused on sustainability and net zero transitions. By connecting sustainability with justice\, research with action\, and constituent knowledge producers and community beneficiaries with one another\, JUST will advance the shared evidence base and accelerate the capacity for action towards sustainable futures for all places and communities. \nJoin us for a webinar featuring keynote remarks by Julian Agyeman\, an internationally-recognised leader in the transdisciplinary field of environmental social science who developed the concept of ‘just sustainabilities’ 25 years ago. This concept\, and the work it has inspired\, has been influential to the JUST Centre’s vision. \nA panel of three JUST Centre co-investigators\, Rebecca Willis\, Stefan Bouzarovski and Lucie Middlemiss will join Julian in conversation about the history of just sustainabilities research and how we can mobilise it in the current context to shape JUST Centre’s research agenda. Broad themes include challenges of engaged\, place-based research using mixed methods and challenges of democratic participation in the context of current political climates in the UK and beyond. \nThe webinar will be chaired by JUST’s Director Sherilyn MacGregor.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Recent developments in the sustainable management of marine resources
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will present and explain cause-consequence-response frameworks and the way these relate to managing marine\, coastal and estuarine areas. It will then show the importance of determining the footprints of activities\, pressures\, and natural and human effects and assessing cumulative effects. Following this\, it will consider the footprints of management responses and will demonstrate horizontal management across sectors and vertical management from the local to the global and vice versa. It will look at the importance of transboundary implications of marine management\, considering connectivity\, coherence\, and equivalence. Finally\, it will consider the way in which success in marine management is measured\, including indicators of success. Examples from Europe and North America will be used\, but the topics are relevant to marine areas worldwide.

SUMMARY:Launch event of the open-access Sea-Swallows Engineering Tool
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to invite you to the launch of the Sea-Swallows Engineering Tool\, a new open-access engineering tool that delivers fast and accurate predictions of nonlinear wave loading on monopile-type offshore wind-turbine foundations. The Sea-Swallows Engineering Tool is developed by a consortium led by the Universities of Bath\, Oxford\, and Strathclyde\, and is one of the outcomes of the EPSRC project EP/V050079/1)\, Severe Storm Wave Loads on Offshore Wind Turbine Foundations (Sea-Swallows). \nLaunch event details: \nTime and Date: 11:30 – 16:00 (BST)\, 23 June 2025 \nVenue: This is a hybrid event.  The main venue is at the University of Bath\, you can also join the launch event online. Locations and the online meeting link will be sent separately later. \nRegistration: Attendance is free; please register by 15 June\, 2025. Please register here: https://forms.gle/rt9stV8jby3DuuWm7 \nAbout the Sea-Swallows engineering tool \nSea-Swallows Engineering Tool is a new open-access engineering tool that delivers fast and accurate predictions of nonlinear wave loading on monopile-type offshore wind-turbine foundations. It is based on a Machine Learning engineering model\, trained over a large number of experiments and numerical simulations\, that uses a “Stokes-type” force formulation. This Stokes-GP model approximates the higher-order force harmonics (2nd – 5th) by correlating them to powers of the linear force\, as discovered through our large-scale experiments. By incorporating all force components\, this Sea-Swallows Engineering Tool is capable of providing more accurate severe storm wave loading predictions over a wide range of sea-states. \n
