Ocean iron fertilization - Moving forward in a sea of uncertainty
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2008)
Ocean iron fertilization (OIF), one of several ocean methods proposed for mitigating rising atmospheric CO2, involves stimulating net phytoplankton growth by releasing iron to certain parts of the surface ocean. The ...
Preface: Biogeochemistry–ecosystem interaction on changing continental margins in the Anthropocene
(Elsevier, 2015)
This special issue presents case studies of different continental marginswith different settings and problems. The domains examined cover awide spectrumof continental margin environments, fromwatersheds, estuaries and ...
Indian Ocean research: Opportunities and challenges
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
Historically, the Indian Ocean (IO) has received relatively little attention from the oceanographic community and therefore remains substantially undersampled compared to the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. This situation is ...
Threshold effects in semi-enclosed marine systems
(Island Press, 2009)
The natural history of the twentieth century documents dramatic changes in many ecological
systems, mostly due to the influence of the expansion of human civilization.
Semi-enclosed marine systems (SEMSs) are no exception ...
Nitrogen fixation and carbon uptake in a tropical estuarine system of Goa, western India
(Elsevier, 2019)
Biological production in aquatic systems is often nitrogen limited. Nitrogen (N2) fixation is an important contributor to nitrogen requirement of phytoplankton not only in oligotrophic but also in nutrient-replete waters. ...
Hydrography and biogeochemistry of the coastal ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
The coastal ocean accounts for only 7% of the total oceanic area, but it plays a very important role in biogeochemical cycles. It not only exchanges energy and matter with the open ocean, but terrestrial inputs of materials ...
Research opportunities and challenges in the Indian Ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 2008)
The Indian Ocean is a dynamically complex and highly variable system, with circulation features and biogeochemical properties that are unusual in many respects. Yet the Indian Ocean (IO) remains one of the most under-sampled ...
The next generation of iron fertilization experiments in the southern Ocean
(Cambridge University Press, 2010)
Of the various macro-engineering schemes proposed to mitigate global warming, ocean iron fertilization (OIF) is one that could be started at short notice on relevant scales. It is based on the reasoning that adding trace ...
Air-Sea Interactions of Natural Long-Lived Greenhouse Gases (CO2, N2O, CH4) in a Changing Climate
(Springer, 2014)
Understanding and quantifying ocean–atmosphere exchanges of the long-lived greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) are important for understanding the global biogeochemical cycles of ...
Biogeosciences connecting earth`s spheres from microscopic to global scales
(European Geosciences Union, 2015)
Mineralogical and elemental analyses of 20 ferromanganese (FeMn)-coated pumice samples from the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) indicate that todorokite is the major mineral phase, whereas vernadite occurs only rarely. ...
