Freshwater ecosystem (Ecosystems 🏞️)

Freshwater ecosystems are a subset of Earth's aquatic ecosystems that include the biological communities inhabiting freshwater waterbodies such as lakes, ponds, rivers, streams, springs, bogs, and wetlands. They can be contrasted with marine ecosystems, which have a much higher salinity. Freshwater habitats can be classif...

Ekman spiral (Oceanography 🌊)

Ekman transport is part of Ekman motion theory, first investigated in 1902 by Vagn Walfrid Ekman. Winds are the main source of energy for ocean circulation, and Ekman transport is a component of wind-driven ocean current. Ekman transport occurs when ocean surface waters are influenced by the friction force acting on them via the wind. As the...

Swarm behaviour (Zoology 🦥)

Swarm behaviour, or swarming, is a collective behaviour exhibited by entities, particularly animals, of similar size which aggregate together, perhaps milling about the same spot or perhaps moving en masse or migrating in some direction. It is a highly interdisciplinary topic. As a term, swarming is applied particularly to insects, but ...

Landscape limnology (Landscape ecology 🏞️)

Landscape limnology is the spatially explicit study of lakes, streams, and wetlands as they interact with freshwater, terrestrial, and human landscapes to determine the effects of pattern on ecosystem processes across temporal and spatial scales. Limnology is the study of inland water bodies inclusive of rivers, l...

Paleolimnology (Paleogeography 🦕)

Paleolimnology is a scientific sub-discipline closely related to both limnology and paleoecology. Paleolimnological studies focus on reconstructing the past environments of inland waters using the geologic record, especially with regard to events such as climatic change, eutrophication, acidification, and internal ontogenic processes...

Ocean acidification in the Great Barrier Reef (Oceanography 🌊)

Ocean acidification threatens the Great Barrier Reef by reducing the viability and strength of coral reefs. The Great Barrier Reef, considered one of the seven natural wonders of the world and a biodiversity hotspot, is located in Australia. Si...

Wetland (Habitat 🌄)

A wetland is a distinct semi-aquatic ecosystem whose groundcovers are flooded or saturated in water, either permanently, for years or decades, or only seasonally. Flooding results in oxygen-poor processes taking place, especially in the soils. Wetlands form a transitional zone between waterbodies and dry lands, and are different from other terrestrial or a...

On Friday February 23rd, Aquatic Ecologist prof. dr. Sarian Kosten will give her inaugural lecture “Aquatic Ecosystems in hotter water” at @Radboud_uni in Nijmegen. The title of her lecture refers to rapidly warming surface waters. https://www.ru.nl/en/about-us/events/inaugural-lecture-prof-dr-sarian-kosten

It's possible to view a livestream! https://www.ru.nl/en/about-us/the-campus/buildings-and-spaces/aula

As glaciers melt, they expose new habitat for #salmon, but they also attract interest from mining companies. #SFUBioSci prof Jonathan Moore's research tracks this emerging conflict.

Lake ecosystem (Ecosystems 🏞️)

A lake ecosystem or lacustrine ecosystem includes biotic plants, animals and micro-organisms, as well as abiotic physical and chemical interactions. Lake ecosystems are a prime example of lentic ecosystems, which include ponds, lakes and wetlands, and much of this article applies to lentic ecosystems in general. Lentic ecosystems can be compared with lotic e...

Tracking wild #salmon returns in real-time could help fisheries be more sustainable, but it hasn’t been possible—until now.

#SFU's Jiangchuan Liu and Jonathan Moore have teamed up with Pacific Salmon Foundation and partners to develop “salmonvision”—AI that can count wild salmon: https://www.sfu.ca/research/scholarly-impacts/salmonvision-ai-helps-ensure-health-wild-salmon #SFUScience #SFUBioSci #ecology #fisheries #conservation #aquaticecology #watershed

#ClimateChange is transforming ecosystems around the world. As glaciers retreat in northern #BC and Alaska they are creating new habitat for #salmon while also attracting interest from mining companies.

A new study from #SFUBioSci professor Jonathan Moore maps out these emerging land use conflicts, identifies policy blind spots and key opportunities for stewardship. https://www.sfu.ca/sfunews/stories/2023/11/mining-industry-competing-with-salmon-for-rivers-created-by-disa.html #SFUScience #SFU #ecology #fisheries #conservation #aquaticecology #watershed

I know about salmon, OK?
Flappy on one end.
Bitey on the other.
Swim in computers.
