Really proud of this new paper just out with talented collaborators @LilianLieber and @RolandLangrock!
Fantastically fun fusion of technology & new techniques to track terns foraging amongst turbulence!

[Lilian Lieber @LilianLieber]

NEW PAPER🌊We quantified #seabird foraging associations with localised evolving #turbulence (boils & vortices) using #HMMs. @RolandLangrock @AlexNimmoSmith
#Drones tracked #terns & surface flows using #MachineLearning & #PIV @royalsociety https://t.co/kiV0qkKGIK @BrydenCentre_EU

Great to join in on the @PlymUni Masters field trip yesterday with @AlexNimmoSmith & @pganderton flying #drones over the frontal feature in Plymouth Sound, including ADCPs, CTDs, particle imaging, #seabird observations and more! Students all on it! #Dolphins too! 👌

Our next workshop takes us to the deep oceans where @jenny_gales will be getting our students hands on with how experts map and measure sea floor features. Did you know we have only mapped 20% of the global ocean? Discover submarine volcanoes, canyons, seamounts and more!

👇🏼really highlights the opportunity for more more wind generation in the south west - it’s not like the energy source was is short supply yesterday…

[National Energy System Operator @neso_energy]

On Thursday #wind generated 51.2% of British electricity, more than gas 22.5%, nuclear 14.7%, imports 4.9%, biomass 4.0%, hydro 1.8%, solar 0.6%, coal 0.1%, other 0.0% *excl. non-renewable distributed generation

@Sat_Oceans Ocean fronts are only one of a long list of small and large-scale convergent features … too many to squeeze into the video! But you’ll be relieved that “fronts” are in the abstract and open access paper!

🌊NEW PAPER @aslo_org Very excited to share this: https://t.co/D5QV4nKTOD Ever wondered about #sea surface slicks and #marine predators? Our new paper shows how #seabirds select slick convergences for foraging @AlexNimmoSmith @RolandLangrock #drones #HMMs #OpenAccess #SciComm 👇
