Background Larval connectivity between distinct benthic populations is essential for their
persistence. Although connectivity is difficult to measure in situ, it can be predicted via …

The freshwater phase of the first seaward migration of juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
is relatively well understood when compared with our understanding of the marine phase of …

Marine biogenic materials such as corals, shells, or seaweed have long been recognized as
recorders of environmental conditions. Here, the bivalve Cerastoderma edule is used for the …

The role of marine currents in shaping population connectivity in the common cockle
Cerastoderma edule was investigated in the southern Irish Sea. C. edule is one of the most …

On tidally-dominated shelf seas, hydrodynamic flow exerts shear stress on the seabed,
inducing sediment transport and seabed evolution. Net sediment transport pathways and …

As tidal stream energy sites contribute to a significant part of water transport in coastal shelf
seas, turbines' implementation may lead to system-wide changes of the hydrodynamic …

A coupled ocean-wave model was used to investigate residence times of the water masses
on the Gulf of Lion shelf and their export routes during autumn 2010 and winter 2010–2011 …

At-sea distributions of large scyphozoan jellyfish across the Irish Sea were studied using
visual surface counts from ships of opportunity. Thirty-seven surveys were conducted along …

Abstract The Western Irish Sea preserves an exceptionally thick (ca. 40 m) Holocene
succession that is ideally suited to understanding the pattern of palaeostratification and …

Sellafield marine discharges of 14 C are the largest contributor to the global collective dose
from the nuclear fuel industry. As such, it is important to understand the fate of these …
