From evaluation to learning: Some aspects of designing a cyber-university (peer reviewed publication)
Abstract Research is described on a system for web-assisted education and how it is used to deliver on-line drill questions, automatically suited to individual students. The system can store and display all of the various pieces of information used in a class-room (slides, examples, handouts, drill items) and give individualized drills to participating students. The
Whales as marine ecosystem engineers (peer reviewed publication)
Abstract Baleen and sperm whales, known collectively as the great whales, include the largest animals in the history of life on Earth. With high metabolic demands and large populations, whales probably had a strong influence on marine ecosystems before the advent of industrial whaling: as consumers of fish and invertebrates; as prey to other large-bodied
Assessing the trophic impacts of marine mammals: From metabolism to food web indices (peer reviewed publication)
Abstract Marine mammals are an important part of ecosystems, and their trophic role and potential impact have been increasingly studied. One key question is how these large animals interact with fisheries or compete for similar resources. Consequently, some models once used only for fisheries management are now including pinnipeds and cetaceans. However, fish and marine
Advisory Councils debate alternatives for getting involved in the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Advice

The aim of the workshop was to kick-start the development work of the interactive learning tool to be developed based on the MareFrame decision support framework. Representatives from the MareFrame partner institutions of University
Global Patterns in Ecological Indicators of Marine Food Webs: A Modelling Approach (peer reviewed publication)
Abstract Background Ecological attributes estimated from food web models have the potential to be indicators of good environmental status given their capabilities to describe redundancy, food web changes, and sensitivity to fishing. They can be used as a baseline to show how they might be modified in the future with human impacts such as climate
Contributions of the Mareframe Project to Ecosystem-based Fisheries Management Solutions for European Fish Stocks (peer reviewed publication)
Abstract The importance of an ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management (EAFM) has been highlighted by the Directorate General MARE, the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), the International Water Center (IWC) and the North Atlantic Marine Mammal Commission (NAMMCO), among others.
