Life on the Water


UMD alumna shares lessons of the lakes, from the United States and Africa to Australia
April Abbott, University of Minnesota Duluth student (MS ’11 Geology) and student researcher, said she chose UMD for her master’s degree because of the Large Lakes Observatory (LLO) and the R/V
Blue Heron. “The program and mission had an exotic feel to it,” she says. When she began her work on her thesis, that “exotic feel” became very real.
Africa’s Lake Malawi became a destination. Abbott found the nights “unbearably hot.” The bunk room had little airflow, so, “We d try to sleep up on the top deck above the wheelhouse,” Abbott says. ”But it was the rainy season, so. we d get massive thunderstorms in the early morning… and that would send us scrambling back to the bunks.”  ....

Anxiety-Inducing Satellite Data Shows Blue Whales Trying to Dodge Boats in Patagonia


CLARE WATSON
5 FEBRUARY 2021
Up to 1,000 shipping vessels storm through blue whale feeding grounds in northern Patagonia every day, according to a new study from researchers who say the findings should support an urgent conversation about the regulation of marine traffic in Chile.
 
The research, which used satellite tracking data to identify where blue whales – the largest mammal on Earth – come up against heavy shipping traffic, could also in time help to create strategies and safe havens to protect these ocean giants.
This is a great example of where science can directly help inform conservation actions, Vanessa Pirotta, a wildlife scientist at Macquarie University Australia, who was not involved in the study, told ScienceAlert. ....

The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in the Ecology and Conservation Biology category has gone in this thirteenth edition to ecologists Sandra Díaz (Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina, and Argentine National Research Council, CONICET), Sandra Lavorel (Laboratoire d Ecologie Alpine [LECA], Grenoble, France, and Landcare Research, Lincoln, New Zealand) and Mark Westoby (Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia), for expanding the concept of biodiversity, through their pioneering work to discover, describe and coordinate the measurement of plant functional traits.
Independently and collaboratively, the awardees focused their research on arranging each plant s ecosystem function along dimensions of measurable physical traits, such as height, leaf type or seed size, enabling them to locate patterns in the functional diversity of species at a global level. The catalogue of these functional traits has now become a vas ....
