Future climate evolution in the canary current upwelling system from a regional coupled model
The Canary current upwelling system (CCUS) is one of the major eastern boundary coastal upwelling systems in the world, bearing a high productive ecosystem and commercially important fisheries. The CCUS has a large latitudinal extension, and it is divided into upwelling zones with different …

The eruptions of Örӕfajökull 1362 (Iceland) and Lanzarote 1730-36 (Canary Islands) : sulphur emissions and volcanology
This thesis presents new data on the volcanology, erupted volumes, and sulphur emissions of the AD 1362 Örӕfajökull eruption and the AD 1730-36 Lanzarote eruption, and relates these findings to their atmospheric and environmental impacts. The Örӕfajökull eruption was an explosive Plinian event with …

Deep submarine volcanoes in two geodynamic settings (Canary Basin and Gulf of Cadiz): morphology and shallow structure
… seafloor features in two different settings: the Canary Basin and the Gulf of Cadiz, both along the Atlantic margin. The study areas include forty volcanic hydrothermal mounds (M00 to M45) in the central area of the Canary Basin at water depths of between 4800 and 5200 m, nineteen newly inferred …

The city blues of an iridescent canary: physiological, behavioral, and developmental impacts of lead (Pb) on songbirds along an urban-to-rural gradient
<p>Urbanization is rapidly changing the environment and creating new challenges in the lives of animals across the globe. Anthropogenic contaminants found commonly in old construction materials—including heavy metals like lead— persist within the environment for prolonged periods of time and …

Ecohydrology effects of an invasive grass (Phalaris arundinacea) on semi-arid riparian zones
… riparian zones have extensive stands of reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea). Reed canary grass was historically planted for erosion control and as a forage crop, but its ability to invade and create monotypic stands has allowed it to out compete native vegetation in riparian areas …

Investigations of the geomorphologic and pedologic system of sedimentary vega deposits from Lanzarote (Canary Islands) supported by luminescence dating – important steps towards their palaeoclimatic interpretation
On Lanzarote (Canary Islands/Spain), sequences similar to loess-palaeosol-sequences from other regions developed in dammed volcanic valleys during the Middle and Late Pleistocene. Based on former investigations, we assumed that these sequences could serve as palaeoclimate archives for the …

Androgen Regulation of Gene Expression Associated with Cell Growth and Neural Plasticity: Studies in Songbird Brain and the S115 Cell Line
… on the brain and behavior I identified the canary cDNA coding for the nuclear receptor for androgen. The sequence is very conserved over functional domains, but shows some divergence from the only other sequences known, those for rodents and man. The AR mRNA can be localized by in situ …
