Countdown to Inter-Noise 2024 - Opening Plenary on Ocean Noise and its Effects on Marine Mammals by Dr. Christine Erbe Only three weeks until the opening of Inter-Noise 2024 in Nantes! #Noise disturbs not only humans, but underwater marine life as well. Christine Erbe will explain how loud it is under the ocean and how it affects marine mammals. For more about Christine and her upcoming talk see https://lnkd.in/eKMDUczx Here's her full abstract. We hope to see many of you in Nantes soon! "Industrialisation and ocean economy development have led to a steady increase in underwater noise across the world’s oceans. Concerns about marine noise, research on the effects of noise on ocean ecosystems, engineering solutions to minimise noise and mitigate effects, and policies to manage noise have increased as corollaries. Given how well sound travels under water, compared to other cues such as light and chemicals, we assume most animals in the ocean have evolved to rely on sound to support key life functions, including environmental sensing and communication. However, the actual information we have on marine fauna hearing, sound usage, and noise impacts is limited to perhaps a hundred species, with marine mammals being the most studied. Bioacoustic research outputs do not seem to be able to keep up with the pace of offshore development (e.g., subsea mining, subsea processing)—leaving us in a situation where we must manage underwater noise in a great absence of data. Let’s review what we do know, what we do not know, and what we need to know. Is the Blue Economy as “green” as we want it to be?"

🌊 Exciting news! We’ve partnered with the National Oceanography Centre by signing an MoU*. This collaboration unites global leaders in human-centred design & deep ocean science, working together to benefit our oceans, planet & its people! 🌍 Building on the Royal College of Art's role as an implementing partner of the (United Nations) UN Ocean Decade, this agreement paves the way for groundbreaking initiatives like our New Economic Model for the Oceans (NEMO). 🎬 Watch the video below to hear Prof. Ashley Hall share insights into this multi-year research project aimed at fostering sustainable socio-economic interactions with our oceans. 👇 Learn more ➡️ bit.ly/3OkibPB #ResearchRCA #KnowledgeExchange #UNOceanDecade #OceanScience #Oceans *Memorandum of Understanding

Understanding Water is THE most important undertaking humans could engage in right now. All the answers we need are within the deeper comprehension of water and our world.

From creating glass replicas of century-old deep sea models to digitizing historic photos at the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, here are 20 projects that recognize and celebrate UW’s 175th anniversary and the Wisconsin Idea.

🚨 Underwater Noise Joint Action update! 🚨 🌊 We're halfway there! The mid-term meeting of the five projects from the #JPIOceans Joint Action on #UnderwaterNoise took place on 20-21 June in Padua, Italy. 🛠️ Led by Italy and Germany, this #JointAction focuses on the impacts of underwater noise on marine ecosystems. The meeting served to assess #advancements, strengthen #collaboration, and plan impactful #dissemination of project results. 🔊 Presentations featured insights from the projects #ORCHESTRA | #DeuteroNoise | #DIAPHONIA | #SONORA | #PUREWIND 🎓 The meeting included a science communication training course and proposed activities to enhance outreach and engagement. Plans include educational materials, strategies for engaging policymakers, and webinars for scientists. 🤝JPI Oceans extends its gratitude to the University of Padua and the Italian Ministry for Universities and Research for the generous hospitality and support in hosting the mid-term review meeting. 📥 Read more about it and download the mid-term meeting presentations here: https://lnkd.in/d9rE9TYQ #MarineScience #UnderwaterNoise

Integrating Omnidisciplinary Environmental Thinking into Sustainable Space Exploration: A Holistic Approach to Cosmic Stewardship As we venture further into the vast expanse of space, it is crucial that we adopt an omnidisciplinary environmental thinking approach, integrating insights from diverse fields to ensure sustainable space exploration. This holistic methodology encompasses: 1. Astrobiology: Understanding the intricate relationships between life and the cosmos. 2. Ecological Economics: Valuing the natural resources and services of celestial bodies. 3. Planetary Ethics: Recognizing the intrinsic value of extraterrestrial ecosystems. 4. Environmental Engineering: Designing sustainable infrastructure for space habitats. 5. Cosmic Conservation Biology: Preserving the biodiversity of celestial bodies. 6. Space Governance: Establishing policies for responsible space resource management. 7. Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Fostering dialogue between scientists, philosophers, and policymakers. By embracing omnidisciplinary environmental thinking, we can: 1. Ensure the long-term sustainability of space exploration. 2. Protect the integrity of extraterrestrial ecosystems. 3. Promote a culture of cosmic stewardship. 4. Foster a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of life and the universe. As we explore the vastness of space, let us do so with reverence, respect, and a commitment to preserving the beauty and wonder of the cosmos for future generations. #OmnidisciplinaryEnvironmentalThinking #SustainableSpaceExploration #Astrobiology #EcologicalEconomics #PlanetaryEthics #EnvironmentalEngineering #CosmicConservationBiology #SpaceGovernance #InterdisciplinaryCollaboration #CosmicStewardship

Very excited about giving a talk which will be made publicly available, my first ever! Next Wednesday, 15 May, at 12:00. See https://lnkd.in/dv_4kFgW for the link to the hybrid meeting. My talk will be uploaded to the DEEPMED Youtube page afterwards: https://lnkd.in/dMQdpx2H From the Rivers to the Seas: Aims and Practices of Early Modern Depth Measurements   Rivers and sea routes were critical pieces of infrastructure for early modern trade, warfare, and fishing. Not surprisingly, they were a central subject of the map-making industry. Here, I delve into a particular feature of hydrographic maps: the appearance of depth markings. More generally, I discuss the aims with which depths of waters were studied in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and the techniques used to investigate them. Given that early moderns generally only ever saw the surface of waters, the extent to which depth was studied is surprising. Of course, some depth measurements were made for navigation: particularly to avoid shoals and find anchorage. But depths were also studied to answer questions about the history of the Earth; the control of fish stocks; the explanation of phenomena such as tides and currents; the prevention of flooding; and the extraction of minerals from the seabed. Far from having a single practical aim, the study of depth came forth out of a heterogeneous bunch of questions and practices. Existing scholarship tends to separate these into navigational and scientific problems, or practical and theoretical questions. I show, however, that there was much more overlap between the different practices than the literature recognizes. The people involved with different problems moved in the same spaces and built on each other’s innovations in measuring and conceptualizing depths. I finish by arguing that the juxtaposition of navigation and science does not stem from early modern practices but, instead, from nineteenth-century efforts to demarcate the science of oceanography.
