Sushi Wars: Maritime Food Security, Criminal Networks and Geopolitical Risk Global fisheries, particularly the sushi supply chain, are entangled with rising geopolitical tensions, climate change and transnational crime.

Has the global appetite for sushi become a microcosm of the wider collapse of oceanic governance? The health of the ocean is a strategic imperative that will define the resilience of nations and the legitimacy of the global system.

It was a pleasure to contribute evidence to the long running Antarctic Inquiry, alongside @klausdodds.bsky.social and @huwiceandstuff.bsky.social. The Antarctic is changing rapidly, and requires urgent and targeted study to understand present and future sea level contributions.

#Geographer @klausdodds.bsky.social @rhulgeography.bsky.social said that less sea ice in Arctic will attract "heightened commercial & military activity by third parties that are not allies of the UK, primarily Russia & China"

New study provides a stepping stone towards greater understanding of the watercourses beneath the Antarctic ice sheet; aiding more reliable assessments of the consequences of global warming in the coming decades.
