This document outlines a research study on the biogeography of microbes in the Neil and Havelock islands. The objectives are to isolate bacteria and actinobacteria from sediment samples using molecular techniques, study their spatial and temporal variation, and understand differences between the islands through spatial mapping. So far, sediment samples have been collected from both islands and marine bacteria and actinobacteria isolated and identified using molecular methods. Mapping of microbial diversity and biogeography is underway.

Here's a glimpse of what our group has been working on this week. The video is part of our presentation, so there's no sound. But in short, we've been mapping out kelp growth around Catalina Island and analyzing threats to the kelp population.

A study on the biodiversity of snake island in South Andaman - JBESInnspub Net
Snake Island is an uninhabited small rocky islet off Carbyn’s Cove in Port Blair, Andaman. The biodiversity of this rocky island is its distinctive feature as it becomes a small habitat for various organisms close to the open sea. During this present study a total no. of 217 species were recorded out of which 205 has been identified. Pisces was the dominant group, followed by cnidarians, molluscs, arthropods etc. The island is highly influenced by sea water as during high tides nearly 75 % of the island is submerged by seawater. This is the reason of dominance of marine organisms (94 %) over terrestrial organisms (6 %) in the island. Another characteristic feature of the island is the formation of numerous rocky and sandy water channels and the presence of a ‘coral pool’ at the end of one such channel on the north-eastern part of the island. During high tide these channels are filled with water and exchange of seawater takes place in the coral pool, where highest diversity of species was observed. Lack of intertidal species in the island is evident due to the high action of waves from the open sea and lack of hiding areas other than rocky crevices.

But it is the projects located in urbanised marine ecosystems that matters more as they tend to be more severe.

Interface change of seawater and freshwater on Asam – Asam Watersheds, South ...Innspub Net
Temporal change of seawater and fresh water interface in the watershed area needs scientific study on dynamics of ecosystem parameters in different seasons and analysis of satellite imagery. This research aims to assess the change of interface seawater and freshwater from the temporal estuary upstream. The study used four methods: (1) Interviews with local community respondents; determined with snowball method. (2) Secondary data obtained from the Report of Environmental Monitoring Result of Power Plant Operations of Asam – Asam in 2014 (3) Observed parameters include pH, salinity, electrical conductivity in the dry season (August), transition (October) and rainy season (December). (4) Temporal observations with the use of satellite imagery analysis with Nipah (Nypa fruticans Wurmb) as indicator. According to the respondent, seawater intrusion has occurred extremely from the estuary of Asam-Asam river to the upstream. Secondary data shows significant differences in the intake value of DHL Asam-Asam power plant (546 μ mhos/cm) with upstream intake (231 μ mhos/cm) which means the intrusion of sea water is moderate to high level. Field observations show the dry season (August 2013) interface was 12.86 miles from the estuary, whereas in transitional season (October 2013) was 12.53 miles from estuary, and rainy season (December 2013) is 5.24 km from the estuary. Satellite imagery showed the interface in 1991 was 8.13 miles from the estuary and increase upstream from 0.03 to 1.86 per year. In 2014, the interface becomes 12.88 miles from the estuary. This shows that the sea water increasingly moving toward the river. Get more articles at: http://www.innspub.net/volume-6-number-4-april-2015-jbes/

The immense region of the world’s seas has long enraptured human interest, filling in as both a wellspring of secret and a boondocks for logical investigation. Throughout the long term, propels in sea life science have unfurled like the pages of a convincing story, uncovering the complexities of maritime environments, the elements of marine life, and the significant impact of the seas on Earth’s environment. From the beginning of sea investigation to the present state of the art advancements, the excursion of understanding our seas has been set apart by constant development and disclosure.
This gathering plans to diagram the momentous advances in sea life science, giving a thorough outline of the developing scene of maritime exploration. We will investigate the pivotal moments, revolutionary technologies, and collaborative efforts that have shaped our understanding of the oceans as we delve into the depths of this multidisciplinary field. From the revelation of aqueous vents and the planning of sea flows to the investigation of outrageous remote ocean conditions, every part in this investigation of sea life science mirrors the vigorous quest for information that drives researchers, specialists, and pioneers the same.
The job of sea life science reaches out past the domains of unadulterated interest. It assumes a critical part in tending to squeezing worldwide difficulties, for example, environmental change, overfishing, and the protection of biodiversity. As we face a period of exceptional ecological change, the bits of knowledge acquired from sea life science become progressively crucial for educated independent direction and supportable administration regarding our seas.

Oceanography is a very crucial topic of the science Olympiad. It is a logical discipline that digs into the exhaustive investigation of the World's seas.
Research Proposal - Are the Adélie penguin, Pygoscelis adeliae, populations w...ElizabethHowarth1
Rational - The focus on this study is to evaluate how the population size and health of Adélie penguin, Pygoscelis adeliae, colonies at Cape Royds, Cape Bird and Cape Crozier have changed over time, especially in relation to the Ross Sea region Marine Protected Area, MPA, established in 2017 and considering major environmental and biological factors that could have an effect on these populations. We will continue to collect new data annually to look at any affects the Ross Sea region MPA is having on these populations. Using data about population sizes of colonies and health of individuals from within the colonies, we will evaluate the overall health of the colonies and predict how we expect them to change in the near future. This is an important study as P. adeliae are an indicator species for their local ecosystem – the health of the penguin colonies reflects the health of the local ecosystem.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
