  • Turning the tide through the Marine Physical Sciences track

    Written by Dorothy Andrada The ocean is a force of nature that harbors both powerful currents and calm waves. Understanding its power and how it ebbs and flows is important. Under the Marine Physical Sciences track of UP Marine Science Institute’s (UP MSI) MSc and PhD programs, students are taught how our oceans move: the…

  • Diving deep into the Marine Biology track

    Written by Dorothy Andrada Fish, corals, and seaweed are what usually come to mind when one thinks of the sea. The vibrant biodiversity beneath the waves is a core part of any ocean, and understanding this is a major field of study in marine science. Under the Marine Biology track of UP Marine Science Institute’s…

  • Morphological and Molecular Evidence for the Identity of Two Land Hermit Crabs Coenobita longitarsis De Man, 1902 and C. pseudorugosus Nakasone, 1988 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura: Coenobitidae)

    Summary The hermit crabs that most people encounter are terrestrial, occupying a a variety of snail shells (and even plastic trash when shells are rare) throughout the tropics. Despite their iconic presence on tropical beaches, few people are aware that the taxonomy of terrestrial hermit crabs is still not fully resolved. All terrestrial hermit crabs…

  • A multi-framework analysis of stakeholders’ perceptions in developing a localized blue carbon ecosystems strategy in Eastern Samar, Philippines

    Summary Blue carbon ecosystem (BCE) is composed of mangroves, seagrasses, and seaweeds that have the capacity to absorb large amount of carbon from the atmosphere. With the rising global temperatures and carbon emissions, BCEs can help in mitigating the potential impacts of human-induced global changes by storing and sequestering carbon through the years. The Philippine…

  • Utility of low-cost recreational-grade echosounders in imaging and characterizing bubbly coastal submarine groundwater discharge

    Summary Despite the growing knowledge on the significance of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD), mapping its occurrence is a continuing challenge. This study explores the utility of low-cost, accessible, recreational-grade echosounders (RGESs) to image different types and identify specific locations of bubble-dominated coastal SGD. Standard and systematic methodologies for efficient imaging and processing were established. The…

  • Seafloor Structures and Static Stress Changes Associated With Two Recent Earthquakes in Offshore Southern Batangas, Philippines

    Summary This research mapped the active offshore faults in Batangas Bay and part of Verde Island Passage. It is of such importance since the area of interest is the site of the 1994 Mindoro Earthquake and the 2017 Batangas Earthquake. The only known fault in the vicinity is the Verde Passage Fault but the characteristics…
