Edible crabs "go west": migrations and incubation cycle of Cancer pagurus revealed by electronic tags. by Ewan Hunter, Derek Eaton, Christie Stewart, Andrew Lawler, Michael T Smith

“…From the release of 128 mature female edible crabs tagged with electronic data storage tags (DSTs), we demonstrate predominantly westward migration in the English Channel. Eastern Channel crabs migrated further than western Channel crabs, while crabs released outside the Channel showed little or no migration. …”

Perception sectorielle face À la nécessité d’une vision globale et partagée de l’estuaire de la Seine by Jean-Claude Dauvin

“…The estuary of the Seine is a continuum between its upstream part (the watershed and its input in the hydrological system) and the downstream part (the Seine Bay and the eastern part of the English Channel). However, according to, their sensitivities, scientists, administrators or policy makers consider various limits of this interface constituted of diversified natural heritage environments but strongly made man modified. …”

Towards Quantitative Spatial Models of Seabed Sediment Composition. by David Stephens, Markus Diesing

“…The study area includes the North Sea up to approximately 58.44°N and the United Kingdom's parts of the English Channel and the Celtic Seas.

Multifractal intermittency of Eulerian and Lagrangian turbulence of ocean temperature and plankton fields by L. Seuront, F. Schmitt, F. Schmitt, D. Schertzer, Y. Lagadeuc, S. Lovejoy

“…We analyse time series of temperature and in vivo fluorescence taken from a drifter in the mixed coastal waters of the eastern English Channel. Two analysis techniques are used to compute the fundamental universal multifiractal parameters, which describe all the statistics of the turbulent fluctuations: the analysis of the scale invariant structure function exponent <i>ζ</i>(<i>q</i>) and the Double Trace Moment technique. …”

The groundwater invertebrate fauna of the Channel Islands by Lee R.F.D. Knight, Anton Brancelj, Bernd Hänfling, Colin Cheney

“…The Channel Islands are a small archipelago of British dependencies just off the coast of Normandy at the western end of the English Channel. There were only three records for stygobitic Crustacea [Niphargus fontanus Bate, 1859 and N. kochianus Bate, 1859 from Jersey and N. aquilex Schiődte, 1855 from Guernsey] from the archipelago and no systematic survey has been carried out of the islands for their groundwater fauna till present. …”

Spatial and temporal variability characteristics of offshore wind energy in the United Kingdom by Panit Potisomporn, Christopher R. Vogel

“…The conditional probability between regions of low energy production is also evaluated, which reveals that regions such as the English Channel are much more susceptible to simultaneous periods of low wind energy production if there is limited wind energy production in south‐west England or in the North Sea. …”

Do atmospheric events explain the arrival of an invasive ladybird (Harmonia axyridis) in the UK? by Pilvi Siljamo, Kate Ashbrook, Richard F Comont, Carsten Ambelas Skjøth

“…Our results suggest that air flows which may assist dispersal over the English Channel are relatively frequent; ranging from once a week from Belgium and the Netherlands to 1-2 times a week from France over our study period. …”

Estimation of size fractionated primary production from satellite ocean colour in UK shelf seas by Curran, K, Brewin, R, Tilstone, G, Tilstone, G, Bouman, H, Hickman, A

“…In this paper, an existing ocean-colour based PP model is tuned using a large in situ database of size-fractionated measurements from the Celtic Sea and Western English Channel of chlorophyll-a (Chl a) and the photosynthetic parameters, the maximum photosynthetic rate ( PBm ) and light limited slope ( αB ). …”

Storm Franz: Societal and energy impacts in northwest Europe on 11–12 January 2007 by A. J. Kettle

“…The storm was notable for a series of wave-related accidents off southeast Ireland, the English Channel, and German Bight. An analysis is carried out on water level recorders around the North Sea to assess the storm surge and short period oscillations that may reveal harbour seiches or meteotsunamis. …”
