Blue carbon reputation bolstered<\/strong><\/p>\n

The “Blue Carbon opportunities through tidal restoration and avoided disturbance” project will investigate how the reintroduction of tidal flows to coastal areas can restore saltmarsh and mangrove habitats, and also increase carbon storage.<\/p>\n

The second funded project – “Carbon storage of coastal sedgeland in relation to use of fire for habitat enhancement” – will determine the amount of carbon stored in\u00a0Gahnia sedgeland<\/em>, a type of coastal saltmarsh that is threatened across Australia.<\/p>\n

The successful projects will be carried out by the College of Science and Engineering’s Professor Sabine Dittmann, Professor James Stangoulis, Associate Professor Huade Guan and their teams.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Jane Austen music research sparks online interest<\/strong><\/p>\n

Underlining the world\u2019s enduring fascination of Jane Austen, Dr Gillian Dooley has finished a three-and-a-half-year project cataloguing each playable piece of music in the Austen Family Music Collections, with the recent release of the final volume in the project, titled ‘French Songs'(https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/austen1677443-2001<\/a>) generating a flurry of global online interest.<\/p>\n

Dated from the 1780s, this selection of fashionable Parisian music of the era, including mostly opera arias and other theatre music, probably belonged to Jane Austen’s cousin Eliza, later her sister-in-law when she married Henry Austen.<\/p>\n

Dr Dooley performed this research at the University of Southampton library (having been granted a Visiting Fellowship at the University) and worked with Professor Jeanice Brooks in the university\u2019s Music Department.<\/p>\n

The catalogue of “Austen Family Music Books” is now live on the University of Southampton Library Catalogue\u00a0https:\/\/www-lib.soton.ac.uk<\/a> but also incorporated into the UK academic library catalogue JISC\/COPAC, and into WorldCat.<\/p>\n
