Time-series observations are critical to understand the structure, function, and dynamics of marine ecosystems. The Hawaii Ocean Time-series program has maintained near-monthly sampling at Station ALOHA (22°45′N, 158°00′W) in the oligotrophic North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG) since 1988 and has identified ecosystem variability over seasonal to interannual timescales. To further...

Hydroacoustic data document the occurrence of 5 flare clusters and several single flares from which bubbles rise through the entire water column from an active seep site at 40 m water depth in the central North Sea. We investigated the difference in dissolved methane distributions along a 6 km transect...

We investigated dissolved methane distributions along a 6 km transect crossing active seep sites at 40 m water depth in the central North Sea. These investigations were done under conditions of thermal stratification in summer (July 2013) and homogenous water column in winter (January 2014). Dissolved methane accumulated below the...

Ocean acidification is a global, long-term problem whose ultimate solution requires carbon dioxide reduction at a scope and
scale that will take decades to accomplish successfully. Until that is achieved, feasible and locally relevant adaptation and
mitigation measures are needed. To help to prioritize societal responses to ocean acidification, we...

BACKGROUND: After 2 decades of focused efforts to eradicate polio, the impact of eradication activities on health
systems continues to be controversial. This study evaluated the impact of polio eradication activities on routine immunization
(RI) and primary healthcare (PHC).
METHODS: Quantitative analysis assessed the effects of polio eradication campaigns on...

Advances in forest carbon mapping have the potential
to greatly reduce uncertainties in the global carbon
budget and to facilitate effective emissions mitigation strategies
such as REDDC (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation
and Forest Degradation). Though broad-scale mapping
is based primarily on remote sensing data, the accuracy of
resulting forest carbon...

Contributing to the worldwide biodiversity crisis are emerging infectious diseases, which can lead to extirpations and extinctions of hosts. For example, the infectious fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is associated with worldwide amphibian population declines and extinctions. Sensitivity to Bd varies with species, season, and life stage. However, there is...
