The influence of tides on the North West European shelf winter residual circulation
1 Introduction Shelf seas account for only 8% of the surface area of the planet and yet are some of the most essential earth systems: accounting for up to 30% of total global ocean biological production (Yool and Fasham, 2001), and dissipating around 70% of the total global tidal energy (Egbert and Ray, 2001). Furthermore, ~38% of the global human population live within the near-coastal zone (within 5km of the coast; Small & Nicholls, 2003) which is typically fringed by a shelf sea.

EEF Blog: Making Best Use of Teaching Assistants - what have we learned so far about supporting schools to put evidence into action? | News
EEF Blog: Making Best Use of Teaching Assistants - what have we learned so far about supporting schools to put evidence into action? In this blog, senior researcher Prof. Jonathan Sharples explores what we've learned from the EEF's campaign to support schools put into action the evidence of how best to deploy their teaching assistants. He looks at what we did; what we learned; and asks "What's next?"... In many ways the EEF is an unusual organisation.
How do What Works Centres work?
The authors of the report ‘UK What Works Centres: Aims, methods and contexts’ share the findings of their research and the lessons that can be learnt by the wider sector. The UK is unique in having a network of What Works Centres that aim to improve how research is used to inform public policy and practice.

Critical thinking in healthcare and education
Imagine you are a primary care doctor. A patient comes into your office with acute, atypical chest pain. Immediately you consider the patient’s sex and age, and you begin to think about what questions to ask and what diagnoses and diagnostic tests to consider. You will also need to think about what treatments to consider and how to communicate with the patient and potentially with the patient’s family and other healthcare providers.
What proportion of riverine nutrients reaches the open ocean?
Globally, rivers deliver significant quantities of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) to the coastal ocean each year. Currently, there are no viable estimates of how much of this N and P escapes biogeochemical processing on the shelf to be exported to the open ocean; most models of N and P cycling assume that either all or none of the riverine nutrients reach the open ocean. We address this problem by using a simple mechanistic model of how a low-salinity plume behaves outside an estuary mouth.
