I have this really big collection of weird obscure ambient music about the deep ocean (ocean grunge, electronica etc) from my #DeepMap #BlueHumanities book. I think I'm going to have to write an article about it once I've finished drafting.

This sporadic post covering all manner of things I’ve recently read, watched and done/thought is where I hold forth on matters both serious and silly. You are invited along for the ride. #AmReading #bookstodon #Books #BlueHumanities

Forbes published a nice new review of my latest book: https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucedorminey/2025/01/23/new-book-offers-reality-check-on-sea-level-rise/
“In a revelatory new book, Sea Level: A History, author Wilko Graf von Hardenberg, […], deftly chronicles just how difficult it was to come up with a standard method of measuring mean sea level. In the process, Hardenberg gives us a richly detailed yet very accessible history of how over five centuries, the concept of measuring mean sea level was a painstaking process that advanced in fits and starts.”

Just read Steve Mentz's new "Introduction to the #BlueHumanities" --- a good overview of theoretical approaches in the field and an inspiration for future research. According to Mentz, Blue Humanities "explore the many ways humans engage with #water". It's also interesting to explore when and how a certain #research perspective (like "water-centric thinking") becomes a discipline or an interdisciplinary community of scholars that pursue a shared objective. #AcademicBooks

"Ecocriticism and the Island: Readings from the British-Irish Archipelago" - Pippa Marland's 2023 book explores creative non-fiction on the theme of islands through the lens of the #Anthropocene & #Ecocriticism 🏝️

Ahoy! Weil ich mich bei der Recherche zu #DieVerbotene See grade in dem Kapitel "The Ocean Perspective" festgelesen habe, dachte ich, ich weise euch mal auf diesen tollen Band hin:
Kira Gee, Jacek Zaucha (2019): Maritime Spatial Planning, Palgrave Macmillan, Cham. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-98696-8_2
In 1752, John Bond, a doctor in London proposed adopting Polybius' description of a ballista for whaling. He even built a ballista and sent it to the Royal Academy, claiming that it would give Britain an edge over Dutch whalers. He jubilantly wrote that one gun was equal to 100 harpooners, but that these laborers would resist the invention because they had "strong prejudice against all improvements."
"A #bluehumanities "pre-print" essay explores the rise of jellyfish in environmental turmoil and their indifferent behavior, raising questions about humans potentially becoming "human jellyfish" in their responsibility towards #climatechange."

Okay, I am more and more interested in #AncMed #BlueHumanities. This field just combines all of my interests. So, where to start? I already have two introductions about Greco-Roman piracy and one intro to Roman shipbuilding, but there has to be more, right? Where is all the good stuff? Any entry points you'd recommend? Boosts appreciated ...
I think I've been missing out on connecting with the #envhist, #envhum & #bluehumanities folk by not being active here! But today at 17.30 BST online is our last Yorkshire Coast Whale Week event. We'll be exploring whales and heritage on Yorkshire and Basque coastlines.
I'll be speaking about oral histories I've collected in Yorkshire. Fabien Cloutte & Jeremie Brugiou will reflect on their documentary Le feu de la baleine (Whale Fire) + share powerful footage from it: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/whaling-to-watching-charismatic-encounters-on-yorkshire-basque-coasts-tickets-523903358047

Fantastic to have Steve Mentz visiting the Greenhouse as part of the NoRS-EH PhD course on Blue Humanities organized by Ellen Arnold today. He’s giving us a preview of his upcoming book Introduction to the Blue Humanities (Routledge 2023).

#introduction
Hi everyone! I am an #environmentalhumanities researcher working on #climatecolonialism, the #ocean and the #bluehumanities at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands. My #research on #climatechange #literature focuses on #Oceania and the #pacific, via #animalstudies, #exctinction, #migration, and #nuclear testing.
Currently a Greenhouse Green Transitions Fellow at the Greenhouse #Envhum Research Centre, University of Stavanger, and soaking up all the Nordic blues & greens.
Hello @earlymodernmaritimestudies
I recently finished my dissertation about the impact of coastal violence on state-society relationships along the south #coast of the Ming Empire, ca. 1450-1600.
Prior to that I wrote a thesis on Zheng He, a Ming eunuch best known for his involvement in early modern maritime expeditions to the Indian Ocean.
I am currently working on early modern infrastructure, including bridges, whilst thinking about possible ideas for a #BlueHumanities project!
