Intertidal habitats and terrestrial habitats connected to estuaries are subject to multiple anthropogenic pressures including the indirect effect of climate change (i.e., sea-level rise). To build sustainable coastal defences and create intertidal ha...

Current maintenance planning strategies and decision support tools used in the operations and maintenance of offshore wind farms rarely account for the welfare of technicians and their ability to do work upon arrival. This create... Read More about Human Factors in the Operation and Maintenance of Offshore Wind Farms.

Individual, sexual and temporal variation in the winter home range sizes of GPS-tagged Eurasian Curlews Numenius arquata (2022)
Journal Article

Capsule: Eurasian Curlews Numenius arquata were faithful to foraging and roosting areas on their coastal wintering grounds, including a habitat creation site. Home range sizes were greater at night than during the day, and showed high inter-individua...

Long-Term Changes in the Abundance of Benthic Foraging Birds in a Restored Wetland (2021)
Journal Article
Mander, L., Scapin, L., Thaxter, C. B., Forster, R. M., & Burton, N. H. (2021). Long-Term Changes in the Abundance of Benthic Foraging Birds in a Restored Wetland. Frontiers in ecology and evolution, 9, Article 673148. https://doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2021.673148

Estuaries have historically been subject to considerable habitat loss, and continue to be subjected to such in areas where the natural landward migration of intertidal habitats is constrained by hard coastal defences. Thus, in estuaries where direct... Read More about Long-Term Changes in the Abundance of Benthic Foraging Birds in a Restored Wetland.

Microscale Variability in Biomass and Photosynthetic Activity of Microphytobenthos During a Spring-Neap Tidal Cycle (2020)
Journal Article
Kromkamp, J. C., Morris, E., & Forster, R. M. (2020). Microscale Variability in Biomass and Photosynthetic Activity of Microphytobenthos During a Spring-Neap Tidal Cycle. Frontiers in Marine Science, 7, https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2020.00562

Carbon fixation by microphytobenthic algae of intertidal flats often dominates the total primary production of turbid, temperate estuaries. Whilst remote sensing can accurately measure the spatial distribution of photosynthetic biofilms at the mesosc...
