The biological and physical controls on phytoplankton blooms off the north-east coast of the UK (2024)
Thesis
Hill, D. The biological and physical controls on phytoplankton blooms off the north-east coast of the UK. (Thesis). The University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4866477

The North Sea is a highly productive temperate coastal shelf sea which contains important fisheries that provides protein to the global market. This study investigated the biological and physical controls on the different spring bloom events in North...

Seasonal growth dynamics and blue carbon storage of the intertidal seagrass Zostera noltei (2024)
Thesis
Jackson, A. J. Seasonal growth dynamics and blue carbon storage of the intertidal seagrass Zostera noltei. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4742950

The primary objective of this study was to assess the carbon assimilation potential of a bed of the intertidal seagrass, Zostera noltei, at Spurn Point on the East Yorkshire coastline at the mouth of the Humber Estuary. This population of seagrass, p... Read More about Seasonal growth dynamics and blue carbon storage of the intertidal seagrass Zostera noltei.

Monopile-induced turbulence and sediment redistribution form visible wakes in offshore wind farms (2024)
Journal Article
Bailey, L. P., Dorrell, R. M., Kostakis, I., McKee, D., Parsons, D., Rees, J., Strong, J., Simmons, S., & Forster, R. (2024). Monopile-induced turbulence and sediment redistribution form visible wakes in offshore wind farms. Frontiers in Earth Science, 12, Article 1383726. https://doi.org/10.3389/feart.2024.1383726

Offshore wind farms are becoming an increasingly common feature in the marine environment as a renewable energy source. There is a growing body of evidence on the effects of wind farms on the seabed and its organisms. However, an important and unders...
