Seasonal Arctic sea ice forecasting with probabilistic deep learning

26 August, 2021 by Dan(i) Jones, Emily Shuckburgh, James Byrne, Scott Hosking, Jeremy Wilkinson, Tony Phillips, Tom Andersson

Anthropogenic warming has led to an unprecedented year-round reduction in Arctic sea ice extent. This has far-reaching consequences for indigenous and local communities, polar ecosystems, and global climate, motivating the…

Robust wavebuoys for the marginal ice zone: Experiences from a large persistent array in the Beaufort Sea

21 August, 2017 by Andrew Tait, Jeremy Robst, Jeremy Wilkinson, Mark Preston

An array of novel directional wavebuoys was designed and deployed into the Beaufort Sea ice cover in March 2014, as part of the Office of Naval Research Marginal Ice Zone…

A protocol for the aerial survey of penguin colonies using UAVs

1 September, 2015 by Damien Guihen, Jeremy Robst, Norman Ratcliffe, Peter Enderlein

Penguins, and many other seabirds, often nest in the open in large colonies, and so are amenable to aerial survey. UAVs offer a flexible and inexpensive method of achieving this…

Increasing accuracy: a new design and algorithm for automatically measuring weights, travel direction and radio frequency identification (RFID) of penguins.

20 April, 2015 by Helen Peat, Jeremy Robst, Michael Dunn, Mark Preston, Steven Bremner, Stacey Adlard, Vsevolod Afanasyev

A fully automated weighbridge using a new algorithm and mechanics integrated with a Radio Frequency Identification System is described. It is currently in use collecting data on Macaroni penguins (Eudyptes…

Significant intra-annual variability in krill distribution and abundance at South Georgia revealed by multiple acoustic surveys during 2000/01

1 January, 2002 by Jonathan Watkins, Jeremy Robst, Mark Belchier, Vsevolod Afanasyev

Three separate acoustic surveys of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) were conducted around South Georgia in the 2000/01 season: in October 2000 (early-season); during late December/early January 2000/01 (mid-season), and in…
