Seascape Lab member Courtney Stuart and fellow Geography PhD students share their leadership roles in the upcoming Restoration Ecology Special Feature.

In July 2022, the Oxford team set out to collect ecological data for a long-term project supported by the Bertarelli Foundation and led by Prof Nick Graham, Lancaster University.

The Oxford Seascape Ecology Lab headed to the annual Reef Conservation UK conference at ZSL, London, to present our latest work on reef ecology and restoration.

The Oxford Seascape Ecology Lab is excited to share the first issue of a new interdisciplinary journal, npj Ocean Sustainability, and encourage new submissions.

A collaborative project between the University of Oxford School of Geography and the Environment and the Stanford Center for Ocean Solutions has recently published a framework for integrating scientific understanding of multiple interacting stressors into decision-making processes.

The Oxford Seascape Ecology Lab joins British artist Kurt Jackson for an innovative exhibition at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History.

The Lab is particularly excited to be announcing our latest partnership with the Art, Biodiversity and Climate Network.

The impact of fishing iconography on British politics is explored in this latest paper, “Splendid Isolation or Fish out of Water? Fishing, Brexit, and the Iconography of a Maritime Nation”, co-authored by Aadil Siddiqi.

New research led by Dr Lisa Wedding, published in Global Environmental Change, investigates the carbon sequestration potential of habitats along the California coast and details pathways incorporating carbon-capturing habitats into climate change policy.

A recent study led by the Oxford Seascape Ecology Lab explores the future agenda for applied seascape ecology research.

Recently published in Nature Communications, research led by Arrigo et al. (2020) found that neglecting stressor interactions led to vastly underestimated risk of animal population crashes, highlighting the necessity of accounting for stressor interactions in comprehensive environmental risk assessment and management planning.
