This month’s blog dives into underwater cables in the German North Sea. Using EMODnet data and R, I mapped telecom & power cables, exploring, cleaning, and visualizing the data to reveal these hidden seafloor infrastructures. #Rstats #GeospatialAnalysis #DataVisualization #cables #Rmaps

Using lightweight bird-borne cameras, scientists have captured unique footage of Indian Ocean seabirds speeding just above the waves to catch flying fish.

Lovely film about Tim Birkhead's long-term study of Guillemots on Skomer. More than half a century of study of this population: this kind of continuity critical for understanding vitality of these important populations.

The White-bellied Storm-petrel trip also gave up one of two deployed GLS loggers. 1st ever track. Aust. to Chile (10K km) and down towards the Antarctica coast. Unprecedented?! So hard to access remote colonies with over 80 island-days available (2009-2025) but only 8 landings possible.#Seabirds 🪶
