Although developments in biology over the past 20 years increasingly require researchers to use advanced quantitative skills such as mathematics, 统计与编程, biology students continue to often reach graduate school without the needed training in those areas.
主要研究’s 伊斯顿白 Named to UN’s 世界 Ocean Assessment Working Group
该组织汇集了全球科学界
2024年4月15日，星期一
A 主要研究 生命科学学院 and 农业 (COLSA) faculty member has been named to United Nations (UN) working group aimed at assessing the state – including the physical, 生物, 以及世界海洋的经济状况.
伊斯顿白, 生物科学助理教授, 与里斯本的50多名海洋专家一起, 葡萄牙, 今年早些时候建立了一个路线图 联合国第三次世界海洋评估(WOA III)该片将于2025年上映. WOA III汇集了数百名科学家, 经理, policymakers and academics from more than 60 countries and various international and regional organizations to assess the state of global oceans across three sustainable development pillars: economic, 社会与环境.
“尽管我们对海洋中正在发生的事情了解很多, 我们仍然缺乏永利app新版本官网地址重要问题的数据和信息. 我们正处在一个激动人心的时代，我们可以利用传感器, satellites and statistics to learn about and better manage our oceans."
白色 will serve as lead author of a new chapter of the WOA focused on human pandemics and their relation to our oceans.
“The world’s oceans are rapidly changing due to climate change and other human-caused drivers, 例如海洋污染,怀特解释道. “在COVID-19大流行期间, our oceans were affected by pollution from personal protective equipment, 喜欢面具, 以及全球航运模式的变化. 我们也目睹了海鲜工人感染COVID-19 对海鲜的需求也在减少.”
不同于前两次评估, WOA III将提供详细信息, tools and strategies that decisionmakers might use to advance the sustainability, 保护和恢复海洋. Additionally, the latest assessment will incorporate the One 健康 model and the 联合国可持续发展目标.
白色, 定量海洋生态学家, leverages statistics and mathematical tools alongside field studies and experiments to study ecological systems. 他的研究包括内部工作 生态监测, 可持续海鲜，空间生态学，极端天气模式，以及 生态动力学.
白说, “尽管我们对海洋中正在发生的事情了解很多, 我们仍然缺乏永利app新版本官网地址重要问题的数据和信息. 我们正处在一个激动人心的时代，我们可以利用传感器, satellites and statistics to learn about and better manage our oceans.”
