The Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science (SAHFOS) maintains and continually extends their records from the Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) survey, one of the longest and richest marine monitoring programmes for the North Atlantic and the North Sea. The data in this survey has the potential for yielding unique insights into the long term trends and driving forces on marine ecosystems in this region, such as for example climate change impacts. This project will develop novel statistical methods for analysing the CRP data, aiming to determine the different regimes of behaviour associated with large or small spatial as well as temporal scales, and train the student to refine and apply such methods. The overall goal will be to ascertain if different anthropogenic pressures operate at different spatial and temporal scales in Northern European seas. Developing such methods will introduce multiscale analysis for collections of ecosystem processes, and quantify the different scale effects of eutrophication and climate change. The project will also aim to quantify biological interactions between species, once the external driving forces have been accounted for. The marine monitoring data is provided by SAHFOS, the designated project partner. SAHFOS will also provide the necessary ecological expertise to guide the developments of the project, necessary to make real inroads into the important scientific problem of disentangling and understanding the complex interactions of climate, eutrophication and plankton abundance. By combining the scientific understanding with suitable statistical methods information can be extracted from this rich and complex collection of data, and the uncertainty of estimation accounted for.

阿利斯特·哈迪爵士海洋科学基金会 (SAHFOS) 维护并不断扩展连续浮游生物记录仪 (CPR) 调查的记录，这是北大西洋和北海最长、最丰富的海洋监测项目之一。这项调查中的数据有可能对该地区海洋生态系统的长期趋势和驱动力产生独特的见解，例如气候变化的影响。该项目将开发新的统计方法来分析 CRP 数据，旨在确定与大或小空间和时间尺度相关的不同行为模式，并训练学生完善和应用这些方法。总体目标是确定北欧海域是否存在不同的人为压力在不同的空间和时间尺度上发挥作用。开发此类方法将为生态系统过程集合引入多尺度分析，并量化富营养化和气候变化的不同尺度影响。一旦外部驱动力被考虑在内，该项目还将旨在量化物种之间的生物相互作用。海洋监测数据由指定项目合作伙伴SAHFOS提供。 SAHFOS 还将提供必要的生态专业知识来指导该项目的发展，这对于真正解决解开和理解气候、富营养化和浮游生物丰富度之间复杂相互作用的重要科学问题是必要的。通过将科学理解与适当的统计方法相结合，可以从丰富而复杂的数据集中提取信息，并考虑估计的不确定性。
