Project S2121: A Machine Learning Accelerated Spectral Matching Algorithm to Identify Harmful Algal Blooms and Other Threats to Aquaculture Operations. (Dr David McKee, University of Strathclyde) (Home Applicants Only)
The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations estimates that total aquaculture production in 2022 reached ~131 million tonnes, with a farm-gate value of USD $312.8 billion. Read more
(UoM - IIT KGP) Particle Transport in realistic ocean environments
Understanding how particles are transported by ocean waves and currents is of critical importance for a wide range of areas, from designing offshore structures (e.g. Read more
Unravelling climate pressures on fish life histories in the world’s hottest sea through a novel proteomic and isotopic approach
Fish life histories can change in response to global warming. Climate-driven alterations in life history traits, such as size, growth, and reproduction, could profoundly impact ecological risk assessment and ecosystem-based fisheries management. Read more
Project at Brunel University of London: Antimicrobial Resistant Genes (ARG) & Pollutants – from Seabed to Seafood Platter
Project description. Municipal discharges and antibiotic use in aquaculture can lead to the enrichment of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARG) in aquatic ecosystems leading to contaminated fish entering the human food chain. Read more
Macaronesian climate change, early human occupation and erosion
New lake evidence suggests that humans reached the Azores 700 years earlier than historical records show, possibly a result of different wind directions associated with warmer conditions of the early Middle Ages. Read more
