New film 'Pressure' tells how weather forecasts shaped D-Day.

But there’s another forecast that was just as important. The tide.

Look back at the role of tidal prediction on this historic day, and discover the link to NOC's scientific heritage in our latest #blog.

Splash! How can you measure waves overtopping a sea defence? Until recently the main method was "see how quick a bucket fills up". Margaret Yelland and Jenny Brown's Wire Wall uses a grid of capacitance wires and has now been tested for a year of continuous monitoring. 🌊

Call for blogposts on maritime history - several of the topics related to marine climate, data transcription, visualisation - apparently no need to moderate your enthusiasm
CFP: 'Academic Processes and Digital Humanities' - Global Maritime History
GlobalMaritimeHistory welcomes proposals for our new series ‘Academic Processes and Digital Humanities’. We are looking for people to talk about the processes (especially technical processes) that they use to do their research, analysis or both.  Some of the things we would love to have you write about Transcription of Documents Textual Analysis Materials Analysis Materials Conservation/Art Conservation Mapping, GIS and related topics Use of R and data visualization Databases and their varied uses Using websites to display projects and findings Collective projects/collaboration This series is very much about these processes, and it is not at all required that your research be on a maritime topic. If how you do what you do is neat and you think that it would interest other people or help other people with their research, we would love to hear from you. Proposals do not need to be any particular length. The blogposts should be approximately 800-1000 words, however we absolutely do encourage longer posts. We also encourage embedded youtube videos, images, anything that can be embedded into our posts. Also, please do not feel the need to moderate your enthusiasm. This is an audience that appreciates procedural and technical enthusiasm. Posts should be written for an educated but not expert audience. Links to tutorials and similar material is always appreciated. We are also open to tutorial videos, or other formats instead of written blog posts. If it is technically possible to be done on WordPress then we are very much open to creative approaches to discusses processes.  If you are unable to submit something in the near future but are interested in contributing over the longer term, please do get in touch. We’d love to hear from you as well. This series is open to grad students, early career researchers as well as more established researchers. We will not be entertaining any proposals either written by or having to do with the use of generative AI. If you are interested in contributing to this series please email Dr Samuel McLean
