First and foremost, welcome to my blog! As
a relative blogging novice, it’s rather unexpected to be starting a second blog
so soon after I set up my first (which you can find at www.florabesque.com) but nonetheless I’m
excited to be able to write about another (hopefully!) interesting topic.
As a 3rd year Earth Sciences
student at UCL, this term (as a change from looking at rocks!) I have opted to take the geography course, ‘Global
Environmental Change’ and it is for this
that this blog has been created.
Over the course of the next few months, I
hope to explore the impacts of global warming and other environmental changes on
our oceans, looking at issues such as
sea level change, temperature change and ocean acidification, their effects on
marine ecosystems as well as on our societies and what, if anything, we can do
about these problems.
I thought I'd leave you with the following image, created by @skepticscience which leaves little doubt that our oceans are suffering...

I look forward to seeing how the blog develops. But nice use of graphic showing how important the oceans are in terms of global warming.
