Results showed a significant effect of topography on limpet movement at panel scales, whilst modelling revealed a significant interaction between panel complexity and spatial arrangement at landscape scales 📈

New paper out today - and the last from my PhD!
We explored the movement of limpets over concrete panels with different complexities using both lab and modelling methods🥼💻

Great to attend the Dansk Havforskermøde this week and hear about the breadth of marine research being done in Denmark!
I also had the pleasure of presenting my work on the @olamur-eu.bsky.social project, and our recent report on non-indigenous species dispersal (dce.au.dk/fileadmin/dc...) 🌊🦀💻
In an unexpected but cool turn of events, here's Samuel L. Jackson eating seaweed snacks made from the sugar kelp I've been modelling as a part of the Win@Sea project! Mother*** wind farms 😎 You can read more about the campaign here: group.vattenfall.com/windfarmed
A few fieldwork photos to set the scene. Torquay was a harsh mistress, but we did have fun (and a lot of ice creams) @benthicecol.bsky.social @louisefirth.bsky.social
New paper out today! Results of a field experiment in Torquay marina on biodiversity of eco-engineered panels. Different panel complexities had significantly different richness and abundance, whilst spatial variability in panel complexity impacted community composition 🛥️🐚🦪

Feeling very grateful that our paper “Coastal greening of grey infrastructure: an update on the state of the art” has been awarded #Halcrow Prize by the Institution of Civil Engineers. 🌿🌊 This recognition means a lot to me & 51 brilliant coauthors. www.icevirtuallibrary.com/doi/full/10....
Great to be at SMHI in sunny Norrköping, Sweden this week to present the work we are doing @au.dk as a part of @olamur-eu.bsky.social and hear about all the great work being done by members of the ICES WGIPEM. Some really interesting discussions so far and more to come this afternoon and tomorrow 👩💻
New paper out today! Check out our new ‘Everything is Everywhere’ framework for understanding connectivity in the marine environment
This week has been highly collaborative for #olamur partners and our new #associateregions at the annual project meeting in Kuressaare, Estonia. We shared knowledge, valuable ideas and insights to advance the #missionocean goals and our project vision for sustainable solutions in our sea basins.
