Recreational Use of Protected Areas: Spatiotemporal Insights from the Wikiloc Mobile App
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2024-03-22)Managing the rising number of visitors to protected areas (PAs) without compromising their environmental goals is a critical challenge that requires a complete understanding of how and when visitors use these spaces. Ge ... -
mNCEA Policy Brief - Mind the Gap – The need to continue long-term plankton monitoring
(University of PlymouthPlymouth, UK, 2024-03-07)This policy brief argues that while it is beneficial to explore novel plankton survey technology, it is essential that we also continue to maintain traditional long-term monitoring programmes to generate the necessary ... -
mNCEA policy brief - PELCAP: Natural Capital in Plankton & Pelagic Habitats
(Scottish Association for Marine ScienceOban, UK, 2024-03-07)This policy brief fact sheet descries ecosystem services provided by pelagic habitats and a natural capital accounting of the the economic contribution pelagic habitats provide to the UK, as estimated by the Office of ... -
mNCEA policy brief - The many scales of pelagic habitats
(University of PlymouthPlymouth, UK, 2024-03-07)This fact sheet is intended to help explain the extreme variation in both abundance and body size exhibited by marine plankton and why those characteristics make them challenging to understand. Plankton in pelagic (open ... -
mNCEA policy brief - Plenty more fish in the sea? Counting the cost of climate change on marine Natural Capital
(Plymouth Marine LaboratoryPlymouth, UK, 2024-03-07)This policy brief describes how predicted changes in productivity across the Atlantic will impact the amount of fish that the marine environment can support. This is bound to have important implications for marine food ... -
The geodynamic significance of continental UHP exhumation: New constraints from the Tso Morari Complex, NW Himalaya
(Wiley, 2024-05)<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The burial and exhumation of continental crust to and from ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) is an important orogenic process, often interpreted with respect to the onset and/or subduction ... -
Hazardous explosive eruptions of a recharging multi-cyclic island arc caldera
(Nature Research, 2024-03-25)Caldera-forming eruptions of silicic volcanic systems are among the most devastating events on Earth. By contrast, post-collapse volcanic activity initiating new caldera cycles is generally considered less hazardous. Formed ... -
Lithological controls on the timing of strath terrace staircase formation in a collisional mountain belt
(Wiley, 2024-04-10)In mountain belts, strath terrace staircases serve as markers for deriving river incision rates and erosional patterns. Distinguishing between terrace patterns influenced by external perturbations like changes in climate ... -
Assessing the impact of an offshore longline mussel farm on local water circulation in a highly hydrodynamic energetic bay
(Elsevier BV, 2024-05-15)Thought to be a sustainable choice, molluscs are the most consumed aquaculture foods after finfish. The expansion of the mussel aquaculture industry offshore reports lower environmental impacts compared to inshore farms. ... -
Evaluation of modulus of elasticity of concrete containing both natural and recycled concrete aggregates
(Elsevier BV, 2024-02-29)There is growing requirement to use recycled aggregate in concrete to demote industrial wastes produced by construction sectors. Thus, to develop simple but meaningful formulations to assess the mechanical properties of ...
