Marine environmental forensics: disentangling physiological, ecological and environmental signals in stranded cetaceans using paired bulk and biomarker signatures Cetacean strandings have been reported in increasing numbers in coastal areas worldwide, causing pervasive scientific concern about their cause(s) with respect to environmental change and human activities. Unsettling as such trends might be, strandings can uniquely […]
Prof Keith Davidson will discuss the HAB early warning system jointly developed in Scotland and Malaysia. Dr Hoa Nguyen will introduce a modelling approach to investigate the increasing HABs along Vietnam’s coast over the past decade, considering the scarcity of in situ monitoring data and limited computing resources.
