What a year it's been for SAMS and @thinkuhi stude

What a year it's been for SAMS and @thinkuhi student Logan Andrick, who devised a plan to build semi-autonomous robotic surface vehicles to capture plastic waste.

After winning a UHI Business Competition award, and partnering with accelerator programmes, he continues to develop his idea - all while completing his BSc Marine Science!

NEWS: Researching underwater tsunamis 🌊 SAMS ha

NEWS: Researching underwater tsunamis 🌊 SAMS has joined an international collaboration of researchers in an effort to discover how underwater tsunamis are triggered by glacier calving around Antarctica.

The £3.7 million research project, called POLOMINTS, is led by @britishantarcticsurvey and will analyse how these underwater tsunamis contribute to the mixing of ocean waters, a process that plays a critical role in shaping global climate systems, the Antarctic Ice Sheet, and marine ecosystems.

This week, POLOMINTS scientists are meeting at the BAS headquarters in Cambridge to finalise plans for the project, which promises to shed light on this newly discovered phenomenon.

SAMS has undertaken similar work on these underwater tsunamis in the Arctic regions of Greenland and Svalbard, using a combination of underwater robotic vehicles and modelling. The team hopes to carry out similar work, this time in the southern hemisphere. As part of the research effort, a SAMS scientist will be based in Antarctica for a field season.

🌊 The Oban Winter Festival is here, celebratin

🌊 The Oban Winter Festival is here, celebrating Oceans and Seas—a perfect fit for SAMS’ 140th anniversary! 🎉

We’re proud to be involved again this year, starting off with our contribution to the Winter Woods event: a replica of the HMS Challenger, crafted from recycled materials (Picture 1 and 2). This tribute honours the Challenger Expedition, which laid the foundation for modern marine science, led by SAMS’ founding director, John Murray—the man who is known to have coined the term oceanography!

We've also shared here photos of some of our favourite ocean inspired pieces at the event made by schools and community organisations.

Plus, don’t miss our "Our World from Space" workshops @therockfieldcentre (Thurs 21st & Sat 23rd, 11am–3:30pm) to explore how space tech can help us learn more about the ocean. 🌎✨

A massive well done to the event organisers and best wishes for another successful year.

NEWS: SAMS’ Marine Mammal PhDs at #SMM2024, Perth, Australia 🇦🇺 - and a conference win too 🏆

Four PhD students from SAMS travelled across the globe last week to the Society for @marinemammalogy conference in Perth, Australia. At the event, the PhD students each presented their research on #MarineMammals in Scottish waters with researchers and conservationists worldwide. Well done to Helen Hiley, Thomas Webber, Tim Awbery and Caitlin Lamb!

A huge congratulations too to SAMS UHI PhD student Tim Awbery for winning the Conference Theme Award! 🎉 Tim's presentation on dynamic habitat suitability models to assess minke whale entanglement risks made waves at conference. 👏

Amazing work, team! 🌟
