Internal waves of depression were observed propagating
along‐shelf and into northern Monterey Bay, California
(CA) on the inner shelf. These waves had amplitudes
approximately equal to the thermocline depth (∼4 m), and
were unstable to shear and mix the thermocline. Isopycnal
gradient spectra showed that the wave packets lead to...
The near-term progression of ocean acidification (OA) is projected to bring about sharp changes in the chemistry of coastal upwelling ecosystems. The distribution of OA exposure across these early-impact systems, however, is highly uncertain and limits our understanding of whether and how spatial management actions can be deployed to ameliorate...
Larval mortality of leafcutting bee, Megachile pacifica (Panzer)
(= rotundata (F.)), is high, usually exceeding 50%. Parasites and
predators are not a limiting factor in the survival of the progeny.
The disease chalk brood has been an important mortality factor since
1974. Inadequate food supply, pollen and nectar, may affect...
The main purpose of this research is
1. To analyze the terrain/climate of Cape Verde, with emphasis on cloud
cover, and its effect upon satellite image acquisition.
2. To use a methodology that allows the use of AutoCAD to map these clouds effect in image acquisition to permit viewing whatever...
This chapter addresses compost quality specifications, chemical and physical properties of compost, evaluation of compost maturity and stability, and variability in compost analytical data.
En dépit de sa production halieutique qui occupe la première place dans le monde arabe et africain, le Maroc connaît une consommation de poisson de 7.5 Kg/personne/an, largement inférieure à la moyenne mondiale qui est voisine de 13 Kg/personne/an. Cette consommation est inégalement répartie. Généralement moyenne à forte, en bordure...
Coping with climate change is one of the most serious issues confronting small scale coastal fishing communities today. This study examined how small scale fisherwomen diversified their livelihood as an adaptation strategy against climate related risks. The study was conducted in Nilwella fishing village of Southern Sri Lanka. Focus group...
