Outcrops of old strata at the shelf edge resulting from erosive gravity‐driven flows
have been globally described on continental margins. The reexposure of old strata allows
for the reintroduction of aged organic carbon (OC), sequestered in marine sediments for
thousands of years, into the modern carbon cycle. This pool of...
In the late 1850s, few young Jews, recently arrived in the United States from Poland, chose to live in Florida. Fortunately, one who did, Max White, wrote down his memoirs of those years, leaving us a remarkable, very personal account of life on the Florida frontier as well as a...
The divergence theorem as usually stated cannot be applied across a change of signature unless it is reexpressed to allow for a finite source term on the signature change surface. Consequently all conservation laws must also be ‘‘modified,’’ and therefore insistence on conservation of matter across such a surface cannot...
Decades of social science research has shown that fisheries, particularly small-scale, are integral to
community wellbeing. They contribute to food security, men’s, women’s, and children’s livelihoods,
health, community identity, and social cohesion. These contributions need to be well-defined and
contextualized, as well as differentiated between fishing sectors, for better fisheries...
As part of the International Polar Year research program, we conducted a survey of surface marine sediments from box cores along a section extending from the Bering Sea to Davis Strait via the Canadian Archipelago. We used bulk elemental and isotopic compositions, together with biomarkers and principal components analysis, to...
We contrast the two approaches to ‘‘classical’’ signature change used by Hayward with the one used by us (Hellaby and Dray). There is (as yet) no rigorous derivation of appropriate distributional field equations. Hayward’s distributional approach is based on a postulated modified form of the field equations. We make an...
