UWItv|The UWI Mona Campus hosts participants from the ‘One Ocean Expedition’ research vessel

 

Participants aboard the Norwegian, Statsraad Lehmkuhl research vessel which docked at Jamaica’s Port Royal earlier this month, were hosted by The University of the West Indies (The UWI) Mona Campus for a Knowledge Exchange Forum on Tuesday, November 16, 2021. Students from the research vessel who completed a One Ocean Field Course webinar series, which ran from September-October 2021, presented their project findings on historical ocean data (including The UWI’s Chauntelle Green), sea-level change in the Caribbean (including The UWI’s Deron Maitland), hurricanes in the Caribbean, and marine fishable resources (Spiny Lobster). Postgraduate research students from Mona’s Department of Life Sciences, Department of Geography and Geology, Department of Chemistry, and the Department of Physics also showcased their MPhil and PhD research in marine and climate sciences. This included research on microplastics in mangroves, long-term records of hurricanes and pollution, carbon storage in mangroves, coastal and marine nature-based solutions, coral reef health and water quality, and seagrass ecology.
