Proposal for marine mammal research in Asia-Oceania regions

"Marine Mammal Commission Workshop on Future Directions in Marine Mammal Research." “Determining Units to Conserve”

Two human generations ago, my great-grandparents paused in their westward move while herds of migrating buffalo crossed the Missouri River in front of their steamboat. Long before the birth of my father the migratory herds of the North American great plains were a distant memory and the plains ecosystems were forever changed. The marine world is different. Fencing or paving the sea is impossibl...

RNSSs Positioning in the Asia-Oceania Region

Since the late 1990s, several Asian countries have developed plans to launch their own navigation satellite systems (NSSs). As a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is very expensive and complex – only the US and Russia have fully developed GNSSs so far, with Europe and China promising systems – a Regional Navigation Satellite System (RNSS) is a more feasible option. China launched its fi...

The Use of Unmanned Aerial Systems in Marine Mammal Research

Unmanned aerial systems (UAS), commonly referred to as drones, are finding applications in several ecological research areas since remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) technology has ceased to be a military prerogative. Fixed-wing RPA have been tested for line transect aerial surveys of geographically dispersed marine mammal species. Despite many advantages, their systematic use is far from a realit...

Climate Virtues Ethics: A Proposal for Future Research

Climate virtue ethics points to the subjective/personal dimensions of climate ethics, which have been largely neglected by previous research. There is a lot of research from diverse fields that pertains to the cultural and the individual dimensions that come along with climate virtue ethics, but, as of yet, these dimensions have hardly been examined together. Future research on climate virtue e...
