Dear all,Together with Dr. Friederike Gesing (University of Bremen) and Dr. Rapti Siriwardane (ZMT Bremen) I have recently launched the Marine Coastal Cultures research blog - www.marinecoastalcultures.com. The blog aims to provide a platform for informed exchange across the marine and coastal scholarship in the humanities and social sciences (from anthropology to environmental history, to geography and spatial / environmental planning...). The blog has already received significant interest across these fields in Europe, north America, Australia and elsewhere. The future sustainability of the blog will, however, depend on regular contributions (blogposts) from across the research community.Please take a look at the site and follow us via email or twitter (@cormacwalsh82) for regular updates. Perhaps you or your colleagues / students might be interested in writing something for the blog, based on your research or a topical issue relevant to the field? The About and Guide for Contributors sections provide more information on what we are looking for and aiming at.Should you have any questions please contact us at [log in to unmask]with best wishes (and apologies for cross-posting)Cormac Walsh-- Dr. Cormac WalshInstitut für GeographieUniversität HamburgBundesstraße 5520146 Hamburge: [log in to unmask]web: cormacwalshresearch.blog, marinecoastalcultures.com
