#DYK? In 2000 The International Coral Reef Action Network (ICRAN), was established in response to ICRI’s Call to Action. With a historic grant from the United Nations Foundation (UNF), ICRAN supported the implementation of ICRI’s Framework for Action. 🪸ICRAN was an #innovative and dynamic network of many of the world’s leading #coralreef science and conservation organisations. The network consolidated technical and scientific expertise in reef monitoring and management to create strategically linked #actions across local, national and global scales. 🌊 🌍ICRAN was thus the first alliance to respond to #conservation needs at the #global scale by recognising both traditional and scientific perspectives of coral reef dynamics and respective social dependency. It sought to put #mechanisms in place that support the translation of findings into direct on-ground action throughout the world’s major coral reef regions #ForCoral ICRI continues to raise the plight for coral reefs working at the science to policy level #ICRI30 📸 Ocean Image Bank / Beth Watson

Submit your abstract for The AMSA & NZMSS 2024 Conference symposia before 15/March/2024. Advancements in Monitoring, Modelling, and Forecasting Water Quality for Sustainable Estuarine and Coastal Ecosystems Convenors: Nagur Cherukuru (CSIRO) , Tim Ingleton (NSW Department of Planning and Environmen), Mark Doubell (South Australian Research and Development Institute) Estuarine and coastal aquatic ecosystems worldwide face a significant challenge of water quality degradation, driven by both natural processes and anthropogenic influences. This degradation adversely affects crucial aspects such as aquatic biogeochemistry, underwater light availability, water column productivity, and benthic habitats. The consequences of declining water quality extend to disruptions in the functioning of aquatic ecosystems, ultimately leading to socio-economic losses for human populations reliant on these resources. Consequently, there is an urgent need to employ comprehensive monitoring, modelling, and forecasting strategies to develop sustainable management approaches for estuarine and coastal ecosystems. This symposium aims to unite experts, researchers, and practitioners specializing in estuarine and coastal water quality. The event seeks to facilitate discussions on the latest advancements in monitoring, modelling, and forecasting techniques, providing a platform for sharing cutting-edge research, innovative methodologies, and successful case studies. Key topics to be addressed include progress in sensor networks, remote sensing applications, ecosystem modelling, machine learning models, and integrated monitoring and forecasting approaches. Abstract submissions and active participation are encouraged in this symposium dedicated to advancing the science and application of monitoring, modelling, and forecasting, with a specific focus on sustainable management of estuarine and coastal water quality. #AMSA2024 #AquawatchAustralia #remotesensing #insitusensing #forecasting #waterquality https://lnkd.in/gkN8Esv2

EQC Toka Tū Ake has released its 2023 Resilience and Research Highlights report, a snapshot of its work to build Aotearoa New Zealand’s resilience to future natural hazard events. It features a selection of GNS Science work that we've either led or partnered on including: 🗺️ Shaking Layers, the tool that produces maps of ground shaking following an earthquake. 🌋 DEVORA (DEtermining VOlcanic Risk in Auckland), a research programme which brings together scientists with emergency managers, planners, and infrastructure providers to understand the impact of volcanoes on Auckland.  📉 RiskScape, the open-source natural hazard modelling tool for multi-risk analysis. Every year, EQC invests in natural hazard research and resilience, and this report showcases the scale of its investment, to which GNS is proud to contribute. Read the full report on EQC’s website 👇

I am pleased to share my latest publication on coastal processes and marine science

It was an interesting exchange regarding the standardization of #citizenscience practices for #freshwater investigation during the workshop organized by OTTERS Project colleagues at the #ecsa24 conference. Looking forward to learning more about the workshop outcomes! #BOKU #ecosystemservices #aquaticresources

Our second paper titled "Evaluating the geospatial variability of sedimentary and hydrodynamic factors in the Ashtamudi estuary" is now available online.. This study examines the spatial variations in soil structure and hydrodynamic factors within the estuary. Research gate: https://lnkd.in/gBnPXHBr

🌊 Insights into Atlantic bluefin tuna behaviour 💎In a new Hidden Gems interview from ICES Journal of Marine Science, we explore the surfacing and vertical behaviours of Atlantic bluefin tuna in the Mediterranean. The findings reveal brief, yet significant surfacing patterns and a marked seasonal shift in behaviour, emphasizing the importance of considering these factors in aerial surveys and conservation strategies.
