Understanding the processes that control the terrestrial exchange of carbon is critical for
assessing atmospheric CO₂ budgets. Carbonyl sulfide (COS) is taken up by vegetation during
photosynthesis following a pathway that mirrors CO₂ but has a small or nonexistent emission component,
providing a possible tracer for gross primary production. Field...
This article examines the influence of Emmanuel Levinas’s philosophy on the ethical aspects of the life and work of André Schwarz-Bart. The essay is framed through recent re-interest in Schwarz-Bart’s collaborative works with his wife, Simone, as a bridge between Holocaust and postcolonial studies. The publications, arguments, and key points...
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...
The vast marine deep biosphere consists of microbial habitats within sediment, pore waters, upper basaltic crust and the fluids that circulate throughout it. A wide range of temperature, pressure, pH, and electron donor and acceptor conditions exists—all of which can combine to affect carbon and nutrient cycling and result in...
The diurnal fluctuations in solar irradiance impose a fundamental frequency on ocean biogeochemistry. Observations of the ocean carbon cycle at these frequencies are rare, but could be considerably expanded by measuring and interpreting the inherent optical properties. A method is presented to analyze diel cycles in particulate beam-attenuation coefficient (c[subscript...
