- Additional information
- An oceanography/computer science collaboration, partly funded by NERC's INSITE programme to inform de-commissioning of North Sea infrastructure. Addressing how to select marine sites to protect for species sustainability, (i) ocean-science tools were used in a novel way - particle-tracking runs treated as Monte Carlo simulations rather than averaged, and (ii) network analysis techniques were crafted, enabling identification of sites that remain critical across a range of ocean-current scenarios. Demonstrates clearly, for the first time, how marine protection strategies are vulnerable to changes in ocean circulation; cited in the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) Report 2019 (https://report.ipcc.ch/srocc/)
