Satellite and UAV Remote Sensing to Improve Coastal Ecosystem Mapping under Complex Environmental Conditions.
Want to know how the marine ecosystems can be mapped remotely? The seminar by the Remote Sensing and Marine Informatics research group highlighted drone as the new arsenal in marine remote sensing research in Malaysia. The use of drone is more practical, cost saving and accurate compared to other remote sensing techniques. Several researches as by the group were highlighted including coral mapping and conducted development of new algorithm for image processing.
Green Turtles in the Blue Economy
How one can relate conservation and profit making? Can these work in tandem, benefitting man and the environment? Join us to listen to our sea turtle expert – Dr. Uzair Rusli who will prove that conservation can be used to uplift the socio-economic status of the people, using the sea turtle (of course) as a case study.

Abstract
While the sinking formation of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) is well understood, how this bottom water "returns home" through upwelling within ocean basins, particularly the Indo-Pacific, remains shrouded in uncertainty. In the 1960s, Munk’s classic "Abyssal Recipes" theory sought to explain these abyssal flows, yet later observations exposed two significant conflicts with real-world data. In 2016, Ferrari, McDougall, and colleagues proposed the "Towards a New Abyssal Recipe" framework, introducing bottom boundary layer (BBL) upwelling to address Munk’s inconsistencies. Drawing on recent evidence of a potential cooling trend in the deep ocean, this talk revisits these debates, offering a fresh interpretation of Munk’s discrepancies and proposing a new mechanism for abyssal upwelling in the Indo-Pacific. It contributes to the ongoing quest to unravel how bottom waters complete their global journey.
