#AI and #MachineLearning are transforming how we understand marine ecosystems - but how much do our data choices shape the answers we get? PML scientists reveal how data choices shape AI-defined ocean regions. 🔗 Read the full story and access the open dataset and code: pml.ac.uk/news/how-dat...

A bit of Christmas cheer was had at the lab yesterday, drawing a reindeer with GPS in the PML Christmas Fun Run!

An excellent first day at the Royal Society event on 'Marine biodiversity loss, fishing and climate change', including this inspiring talk from Camille Parmesan. Always interesting to compare terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Looking forward to more talks tomorrow!

Just published, a land-mark paper by Annemarie Eckes-Shephard et al.! It assesses the performance of a new generation of Demography-enabled Dynamic Global Vegetation (D-DGVMs), that attempt to simulate the changing size and age structure of trees in forests.

Our paper is now published! A inter-model evaluation at a variety of forest biomes of nine "state of the art" demographic vegetation models. Well done @annemarie-es.bsky.social and @tompugh.bsky.social for leading this endeavour! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Energy is key to defeating Russia. The EU still imports Russian gas, spending >20 billion a year. The UK imports similar amounts, mainly from mainland Europe Stronger UK climate policy will help the EU ditch Russian gas.
The UK imports 57 billion cubic metres (bcm) in gas, whereas the EU imports 74 bcm from Russia.

Great to visit CEFAS yesterday with Helen Powley to talk about our work on two-way coupling ERSEM-mizer: impacts on mesozooplankton, carbon cycling and interactions with benthic fauna as part of EU projects NECCTON and @oceanicu.bsky.social

In addition to studying ocean transport, particle tracking models can be used for fun! Animation made using the model PyLag (github.com/pmlmodelling...), which I coded while at @plymouthmarine.bsky.social, and surface ocean currents from CMEMS (Product: GLOBAL_REANALYSIS_PHY_001_031). Enjoy!

Celebrating the wonderful worm art (and other benthic beasties) or our Convex Seascape Survey 😍 Paint made from the same mud as our experiments on benthic carbon fluxes. Super cool.

New article by @jamesgyke.bsky.social, Jamie Shutler, and me @gsiexeter.bsky.social, explaining why carbon offsetting should be removed from Net Zero plans. theconversation.com/we-have-offi...

We have officially advised our university to ditch carbon offsets – and focus on cutting emissions
Your organisation should probably ditch offsets too.
