SUMMARY:MASTS Open Forum Session "Biogeochemistry"
DESCRIPTION:The MASTS Biogeochemistry Forum was excited to host this free online Open Forum Session. \nA Recording of the Session is available on the MASTS Biogeochemistry Forum Webpage. \nIs the Ocean losing Nitrogen?\nSpeaker: Marta Santos Garcia\, SAGES\, PhD at the University of Edinburgh \n \nThis talk will explore how ongoing climate change has led to a shift in the biogeochemical status of the Arctic Ocean. Annual nutrient samples from the Fram Strait from 1998 to 2022 reveal that fixed nitrogen concentrations have declined in the polar outflow waters after 2009. Increasing denitrification rates on the Siberian shelves are proposed as a critical driving force behind this change. The loss in nitrogen is likely to continue with the projected decline of sea ice cover and will be key in driving future environmental changes in the Arctic Ocean. \n~ \nTest pilot: Using biomolecular proxies to identify physiological status and feeding history in a large pilot whale mass stranding event\nSpeaker: Anna Kebke\, PhD at the University of Glasgow \nAnna Kebke\, a PhD candidate at the University of Glasgow with the Scottish Marine Animal Stranding Scheme (SMASS) utilizes fatty acids and stable isotopes to enhance our understanding of cetacean ecophysiology and explore their applications in understanding factors in marine mammal stranding events. The focal point of her PhD is the 2023 pilot whale (Globicephala melas) mass stranding event on the Isle of Lewis\, involving 55 individual animals. This mass stranding serves as a pivotal case study for understanding pilot whale ecology in Northeast Atlantic waters and informing Scottish marine mammal management. This research contributes to an international and multidisciplinary investigation that seeks to shed light on the health and ecology of the animals prior to stranding. In this talk\, Anna will present preliminary data from the event with the goal of developing a standardized protocol for incorporating stable isotopes and fatty acids into the routine analysis of stranded cetaceans. \n  \n\nImages:  (1 & 2) Unsplash\, (3) Anna Kebke

SUMMARY:MASTS Open Forum Session "Particle Tracking"
DESCRIPTION:The MASTS Numerical and Experimental Hydrodynamic Modelling (NEHM) Forum is excited to host a free Open Forum Session on “Particle Tracking Modelling”. The session will include 2 talks from members of the NEHM Steering Group\, who will give insights into their work: \nParticle Tracking: A powerful and versatile technique for modelling dispersion in the ocean.\nSpeaker: Dr Philip Gillibrand\, Oceanographer and Hydrodynamic Modeller at the Mowi Scotland Ltd Environment Team \nParticle tracking models (PTMs) are powerful tools for simulating the transport and dispersion of material in the ocean. By assigning appropriate properties and characteristics to the particles\, models can simulate\, for example\, the dispersion of dissolved chemicals\, dispersal of living organisms\, settling of particulate wastes and the beaching of floating plastics. Applications include oil spill response\, search and rescue\, academic research and coastal zone management. This presentation demonstrates the ease with which these different processes can be simulated in a PTM. \n~ \nParticle Tracking Modelling: A practical demonstration using OceanParcels\nSpeaker: Soizic Garnier\, Research Officer at the School of Ocean Sciences\, Bangor University \nParticle tracking models are extensively used tools for simulating the transport and dispersion of a large range of particulate material in the marine environment. With their increasing use\, more user-friendly particle tracking codes have been developed and shared within the scientific community. This presentation will introduce one of them\, OceanParcels and demonstrate how to set up and run a simple simulation. \nRegister Here!\nImages: Unsplash

SUMMARY:Delve Deeper #4: The potential of Environmental DNA as a plankton monitoring tool of coastal waters and aquaculture
DESCRIPTION:Discover the depths of marine science research with Delve Deeper\, a thought-provoking 2024 webinar series curated by MASTS. Immerse yourself in the latest marine research\, engage with interdisciplinary dialogues\, and become an integral part of our growing community. With themes spanning Environmental Impact\, Resource Exploration\, Technological Advancements\, and Coastal Sustainability\, each episode promises an exciting dive into the ever-evolving world of marine science. \n\nThe potential of Environmental DNA as a plankton monitoring tool of coastal waters and aquaculture\nBy Dr Sofie Spatharis \n \nCoastal ecosystems and aquaculture are increasingly subject to environmental threats that stem from the plankton such as eutrophication\, harmful algal blooms and blooms of gelatinous zooplankton. Current methods of plankton monitoring that rely on morphological identification\, lack sensitivity and specificity\, can be time consuming\, and require taxonomic expertise. Data generated\, thus fail to provide actionable and timely information to aquaculture and coastal water quality managers. \nDuring the past ten years\, we have employed both plankton community and eDNA metabarcoding to test the potential of this method in improving our detection accuracy of plankton species. I will be presenting the potential of this DNA-based data in assessing biodiversity and abundance in comparison with plankton morphological identification. \nFind out more about Dr Sofie Spatharis’s work here. \n  \n  \nRegister Here\n \n\nCheck out this link to see all the up and coming webinars in the MASTS 2024 Delve Deeper series.

SUMMARY:Delve Deeper #2: Shaving Private Ryan - a Sea Urchin's War against Ocean Stressors
DESCRIPTION:Discover the depths of marine science research with Delve Deeper\, a thought-provoking 2024 webinar series curated by MASTS. Immerse yourself in the latest marine research\, engage with interdisciplinary dialogues\, and become an integral part of our growing community. With themes spanning Environmental Impact\, Resource Exploration\, Technological Advancements\, and Coastal Sustainability\, each episode promises an exciting dive into the ever-evolving world of marine science. \n\nShaving Private Ryan: The Battle between the Regeneration and Calcification of a Coastal Sea Urchin and the multi-stressor impacts of ocean acidification and warming.\nBy Angus Taylor\nAnthropogenic CO2 emissions are increasing at an unprecedented rate\, highlighting the importance of understanding the effects that climate change stressors such as ocean acidification and ocean warming have on marine ecosystems. Single-stressor effects have often been studied in isolation\, yet as these stressors are experienced concurrently by marine organisms\, interactive stressor impacts are an increasing priority in current research. Sea urchins (Echinoidea) are biomineralisers that exhibit extensive calcification and tissue regeneration capabilities\, making them an ideal model for our study. Using a phenotypic assay to assess long-term regeneration and calcification rates in conjunction with histology to investigate the cellular mechanisms driving the initial stages of regeneration\, we aim to provide an overview of regeneration and calcification in the coastal sea urchin Psammechinus miliaris and determine how these processes will be impacted by climate change. \nAngus Taylor is a marine biologist primarily interested in the impacts of ocean acidification and warming on marine environments particularly at an organismal and physiological level. Their current research is on the effects of ocean acidification and warming on sea urchins and their ability to calcify and regenerate their tissues in a multi-stressor environment.

DESCRIPTION:Discover the depths of marine science research with Delve Deeper\, a thought-provoking 2024 webinar series curated by MASTS. Immerse yourself in the latest marine research\, engage with interdisciplinary dialogues\, and become an integral part of our growing community. With themes spanning Environmental Impact\, Resource Exploration\, Technological Advancements\, and Coastal Sustainability\, each episode promises an exciting dive into the ever-evolving world of marine science. \n\nThe Economics of Marine Plastic Pollution: What are the Benefits of International Cooperation? \nBy Professor Frans de Vries.\nSince the 1950s the production and use of plastics has increased exponentially. Marine plastic pollution (MPP) is a global phenomenon with significant impacts on the natural environment and economic well-being. The control and reduction of MPP is a public good\, which requires the need for international coordination of actions. This talk provides some insights into the potential economic benefits of cooperative MPP management in the North Atlantic Ocean\, and discusses its usefulness in informing current international negotiations in the context of the global plastic treaty. \n \nProfessor of Environmental and Resource Economics at the University of Aberdeen\, Frans de Vries’s research is centered around the design and functioning of environmental markets and incentive-based policy mechanisms for pollution control and biodiversity conservation. \nFind out more about Professor Frans de Vries research here. \n  \n  \nRegister Here\n \n  \n\nCheck out this link to see all the up and coming webinars in the MASTS 2024 Delve Deeper series.

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! Register for our Newsletter to stay up-to-date! \nThis month’s theme: “Women in Ocean Science”\nSpeaker: Lindsay Grant\, Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) \n“I recently started working as a Marine Support Officer within the Marine Protected Areas (MPA) Team at the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) after completing the Marine Ecosystem Management masters at the university of St Andrews. I work on projects relating to offshore MPA’s within the UK and internationally through the Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP).\nSomething that became apparent to me on the master’s programme within St Andrews is that I had many questions about what it is to be female within the field of marine science and what that meant for my future. There are many amazing women within the field at St Andrews\, so it was hard to know exactly who to talk to! I also felt that many people may benefit from the answers I may find. With the help of Dr Carol Sparling\, Director of the Sea Mammal Research Unit (SMRU)\, I put together the Women in Ocean Sciences in St Andrews (WOSiStA) panel event where 5 incredible women from academia and industry shared their experiences and advice.” \nJoin us and register below\, the Event Link will be sent to you closer to the time. See you there!

SUMMARY:Beaches of Scotland by Professor Bill Ritchie
DESCRIPTION:Historical photographs of Scotland’s coastline represent a priceless archive of information of how Scotland’s coastline has changed over time. During the 1960s and 1970s\, Professor Bill Ritchie\, University of Aberdeen\, was commissioned by the then Nature Conservancy Council to undertake a study of the ‘Beaches of Scotland’. The results of this study were published as a series of over 20 separate reports and are now regarded as classics. They provide important information on how various parts of Scotland’s coastline have changed over the last half-century and this\, in turn\, provides us with a key perspective on how Scotland’s coastline is responding to the effects of recent climate change. As a result of a MASTS initiative\, the ca. 1500 photographic slides taken over 50 years ago by Professor Ritchie for these reports are being digitised and published online. This webinar is an introduction to this ‘Beaches of Scotland’ historical photographs initiative coastal archive. We hope you can join us.
