TL;DR: Steps needed to develop marine plastic debris detection by remote sensing platforms are proposed in terms of fundamental science as well as linkages to ongoing planning for satellite systems with similar observation requirements.
Abstract: Sustained observations are required to determine the marine plastic debris mass balance and to support effective policy for planning remedial action. However, observations currently remain scarce at the global scale. A satellite remote sensing system could make a substantial contribution to tackling this problem. Here, we make initial steps towards the potential design of such a remote sensing system by: (1) identifying the properties of marine plastic debris amenable to remote sensing methods and (2) highlighting the oceanic processes relevant to scientific questions about marine plastic debris. Remote sensing approaches are reviewed and matched to the optical properties of marine plastic debris and the relevant spatio-temporal scales of observation to identify challenges and opportunities in the field. Finally, steps needed to develop marine plastic debris detection by remote sensing platforms are proposed in terms of fundamental science as well as linkages to ongoing planning for satellite systems with similar observation requirements.

TL;DR: In this paper, a ship with heave and pitch motions in head waves is investigated numerically, and a six-degree-of-freedom (6DoF) module is implemented to predict the ship motions.
Abstract: RANS computations of a ship with heave and pitch motions in head waves are presented. The added resistance, heave and pitch motions are investigated numerically. The computations are based on volume of fluid (VOF) and dynamic deformation mesh methods, discretized by finite volume method (FVM). A six-degree-of-freedom (6DoF) module is implemented to predict the ship motions. Four wave conditions with a wide range of wave steepness 400025 ≤ ak ≤ 001005 are considered. The wave length for all conditions is one ship length, and the results show strong nonlinear features, especially for ak = 00100, where the phenomenon of green water on deck is observed. The comparison of added resistance between the presented computational results and measurements shows good agreement. A grid convergence study with three different grids is performed at ak = 00025 for validation. All computations are performed by our solver, naoe-Foam-SJTU, developed under the framework of the open source code, OpenFOAM.

TL;DR: Analysis of a global dataset of bee diversity at sites facing land-use change and intensification suggests that global extrapolation of models based on geographically and taxonomic restricted data may underestimate the true uncertainty, increasing the risk of ecological surprises.
Abstract: Land-use change and intensification threaten bee populations worldwide, imperilling pollination services. Global models are needed to better characterise, project, and mitigate bees' responses to these human impacts. The available data are, however, geographically and taxonomically unrepresentative; most data are from North America and Western Europe, overrepresenting bumblebees and raising concerns that model results may not be generalizable to other regions and taxa. To assess whether the geographic and taxonomic biases of data could undermine effectiveness of models for conservation policy, we have collated from the published literature a global dataset of bee diversity at sites facing land-use change and intensification, and assess whether bee responses to these pressures vary across 11 regions (Western, Northern, Eastern and Southern Europe; North, Central and South America; Australia and New Zealand; South East Asia; Middle and Southern Africa) and between bumblebees and other bees. Our analyses highlight strong regionally-based responses of total abundance, species richness and Simpson's diversity to land use, caused by variation in the sensitivity of species and potentially in the nature of threats. These results suggest that global extrapolation of models based on geographically and taxonomically restricted data may underestimate the true uncertainty, increasing the risk of ecological surprises.
