I’ve always
said that real research is done in black and white and when you try to do it
more fancy you’re trying to hide a not so good research. But maybe I have to change
my mind looking at this video on the ship traffic in the Baltic Sea made for a HELCOME
conference where the ministers of environment in the region of Baltic Sea and other
professionals were discussing how to protect the vulnerable and polluted sea in
the future. HELCOM is the governing body of the convention on the Protection of
the Marine Environment of the Baltic Sea Area, known as the Helsinki
Convention. The Contracting Parties are Denmark, Estonia, the European Union,
Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia and Sweden.
The film
visualizes the congested sea and also shows how complex the flow of ships (and passengers
and goods) really is today. This is also, off course, a well monitored sea, but
the potential hazards and threats are many. I’ll try to take away two lessons
from this video:
(1) I’ll in
the future put more effort in my visualization of quantitative research results,
and
(2) that I did the right choice naming my blog risky business at sea.
