2. Spatiotemporal overlap of baleen whales and krill fisheries in the Western Antarctic Peninsula region

   In Antarctica, abundant consumers rely on Antarctic krill for food, but krill are also the subject of a commercial fishery. The fishery overlaps in time and space with the foraging […]

3. Benthic silicon cycling in the Arctic Barents Sea: A reaction–transport model study

   Over recent decades the highest rates of water column warming and sea ice loss across the Arctic Ocean have been observed in the Barents Sea. These physical changes have resulted […]

4. Magnetically driven flow in a liquid-metal battery

   We investigate the flow within a liquid-metal battery induced by an externally imposed magnetic field, B-0. An analytical model for laminar flow is proposed and this is found to be […]

5. Mismatches in scale between highly mobile marine megafauna and marine protected areas

   Marine protected areas (MPAs), particularly large MPAs, are increasing in number and size around the globe in part to facilitate the conservation of marine megafauna under the assumption that large-scale […]

6. Variation in blood mercury concentrations in brown skuas (Stercorarius antarcticus) is related to trophic ecology but not breeding success or adult body condition

   Mercury is a pervasive environmental contaminant that can negatively impact seabirds. Here, we measure total mercury (THg) concentrations in red blood cells (RBCs) from breeding brown skuas (Stercorarius antarcticus) (n […]

7. Genomic insights into the secondary aquatic transition of penguins

   Penguins lost the ability to fly more than 60 million years ago, subsequently evolving a hyper-specialized marine body plan. Within the framework of a genome-scale, fossil-inclusive phylogeny, we identify key […]

8. The Impact of Basal Roughness on Inland Thwaites Glacier Sliding

   Swath radar technology enables three-dimensional mapping of modern glacier beds over large areas at resolutions that are higher than those typically used in ice-flow models. These data may enable new […]

9. Myctobase, a circumpolar database of mesopelagic fishes for new insights into deep pelagic prey fields

   The global importance of mesopelagic fish is increasingly recognised, but they remain poorly studied. This is particularly true in the Southern Ocean, where mesopelagic fishes are both key predators and […]

10. Underwater visibility constrains the foraging behaviour of a diving pelagic seabird

    Understanding the sensory ecology of species is vital if we are to predict how they will function in a changing environment. Visual cues are fundamentally important for many predators when […]

11. Cpmoutational tools for metabolic modeling and gene duplication analysis

    This thesis presents new computational methods to analyse both short and long-term effects of temperature increase on biological systems. First, we consider the problem of acclimation of an organism to […]

12. Shell thickness of Nucella lapillus in the North Sea increased over the last 130 years despite ocean acidification

    Ocean acidification and global climate change are predicted to negatively impact marine calcifiers, with species inhabiting the intertidal zone being especially vulnerable. Current predictions of organism responses to projected changes […]
