    You have two Plaices in the quiz picture, not one

  • #2 | Written by Shannon Ricles about 9 years ago.

    I am the education coordinator for NOAA’s Monitor National Marine Sanctuary, and I am creating a maritime archaeology curriculum. For a section on magnetometers, I am featuring the Explore the Seafloor website as an outstanding online resource for teachers (very well done!) I would like to use a graphic from the website located on http://ets.wessexarch.co.uk/resources/imagebank/?album=5&gallery=6 It is the image at the far right, top line showing a magnetometer being towed.

    I would be most appreciative if you could direct me to whom I should request permission for usage.

    Thank you,

    I would like your permission to use your images in an academic paper. How would you like them cited?

    interested in seeing more.

    The Gilberd Academy Colchester’

    Careers Convention on 4th October.
    Looking for volunteers.

  • #7 | Written by mark partridge about 8 years ago.

    When will the interactive map be available ?

    Looks a brilliant idea.

  • #8 | Written by mark partridge about 7 years ago.

    Hi, When will this be completed.

    I would like to recommend it regularly for the careers content and fun activities.

    The Gilberd Academy , Colchester.

  • #9 | Written by Annie Baker-Young about 5 years ago.

    Hi, my name is Annie and me and my friend Ellie want to be SciGirls and study the ocean floor. I think this is a really great way to, since the coranavirus and you can’t really go anywhere, let alone the bottom of the ocean. thank you for making this website and letting people all over the world study the bottom of the ocean and teaching the ways of marine biologists. Thanks again. This is super cool!

  • #10 | Written by Katia Pinheiro about 3 years ago.

    Dear Sir,

    I am Katia Pinheiro, researcher from Observatório Nacional (Brazil) and at the moment working at GFZ-Potsdam (Germany). My hobby is to produce science outreach videos. Recently I interviewed 10 female scientists (originally from 10 different countries) in Potsdam talking about themes from the core to space:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/gsf60fog2eq9f0f/MagneticMosaic.mp4?dl=0

    I would like to ask if I can use your figure:
    https://ets.wessexarch.co.uk/resources/imagebank/nggallery/image-bank/how-do-we-map-the-seafloor

    in my movie (minutes: 12:39 – 12:47). In case you allow me, should I give credits like that? Figure: Li et al., 2020 – Wessex Archaeology

    I would really appreciate your contribution to my movie, which is very important to promote women in science. Thank you!

    Best wishes,
    Katia

    Please may you inform me when your interactive map is made available, I’d be extremely interested in submerged river channels.
    Warm regards, Alex Ross
