Marine research in N Ireland is very often overlooked & has faced many, many obstacles so this recognition by Times Higher Education of Queen's University Belfast 🎓 global impact towards the United Nations 🇺🇳Sustainable Development Goals (Life Below Water) means a lot (& well done UCC Ireland👍)🌎




Many thanks to @DrKimPeters and Geraint Ellis. It was a delight to have you in my panel. Big thanks to @WesleyFlannery and Brendan Murtagh for their excellent supervision and constant inspiration and the Marine Institute for funding this phd study!

Congrats QUB Planning School colleagues Dr Dr. Jane Clarke and Dr Calum McCormick! We did it! 🤗


Our paper on integrating heritage in environmental valuation is just out doi.org/10.1002/pan3.1…. It was a pleasure to work with Prof Jasper Kenter @ChrisLeakey1 JY @WesleyFlannery Maria Pafi Cristina Pita Seb O'Connor Jake Ainscough @AREYSIL and others

Working with #CoastalCommunities in Europe, Elaine Azzopardi et al. found ecological features can be as vital to people’s sense of #heritage as cultural elements - so much so, they’ve created a framework for considering it in #marine decision-making! 👉 buff.ly/3zrKns5


Happy to co-author a chapter with @WesleyFlannery in an excellent book on transdisciplinary marine research (eds. Dr Vera Köpsel & Sílvia Gómez Mestres🐞). We debate the impact of professionalising #CitizenScience Available: bit.ly/3jYaHWk & #OpenAccess: bit.ly/3VPi4gn 1/5
