Marine Ornithology

Marine Ornithology is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Marine Ornithology rather than just read about it. In short: Marine Ornithology is a biannual open-access peer-reviewed scientific journal published and supported by a partnership between the African, Australasian, Dutch, Japan and Pacific Seabird Groups. The editor-in-chief is David Ainley.

Key takeaways

Marine Ornithology belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Marine Ornithology to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Marine Ornithology from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Marine Ornithology is a biannual open-access peer-reviewed scientific journal published and supported by a partnership between the African, Australasian, Dutch, Japan and Pacific Seabird Groups. The editor-in-chief is David Ainley. The journal was originally published by John Cooper in November 1976 as a bulletin of the South African Seabird Group under the name The Cormorant. The journal's current title, Marine Ornithology, was obtained in 1990, following an expansion in scope to cover all seabirds, not only those in Africa.

Abstracting and indexing The journal is abstracted and indexed in:

According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2022 impact factor of 0.6.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Marine Ornithology

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Marine Ornithology claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Marine Ornithology before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Marine Ornithology ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Marine Ornithology

In research: Marine Ornithology appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Marine Ornithology in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Marine Ornithology is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Academic journals established in 1976, Biannual journals, English-language journals, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Marine Ornithology outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
