Why this site?

We are oceanographers, ecosystem scientists and sociologists working to understand how humans impact and interact with the Earth. Climate change is the most pressing environmental and societal challenge our species has ever faced, and the rapid deployment of non-polluting energy such as offshore wind is the best weapon we have to fight this existential threat. The voices on this website are personal - we speak as scholars, citizens, humans - not as representatives of our employers or any other institutions.
