Governance of High Sea Mediterranean Marine Protected Areas from a Maltese Perspective
… marine resources is gaining importance as more research is carried out leading to an increase in public awareness through campaigns and news. One conservation tool that is attracting more attention is commonly referred to as marine protected area (MPA). This tool has been used over many years but …

The influence of the Agulhas Current on two South African extreme weather events
… coastal regions during South Africa's summer season 1998/99. The storms in November and December were both accompanied by heavy rainfall in two widely separated locations. The storm in December proved to be more severe as it resulted in flooding while tornadoes were reported in the Umtata and …

Removal of Wastewater Nitrogen and Phosphorus by an Oligohaline Marsh
… raise mean water levels by 3 cm in addition to seasonal changes of 30 cm induced by thermal expansion and contraction of seawater. During the ~3 d flushing time of water, nutrients passing through the marsh experienced small transformations compared with 2575% dilution of wastewater in the marsh …

Trade and the environment : the political economy of CO₂ emission leakage with analysis of the steel and oil sands industries
… Report. Through peer-reviewed scientific research and governmental review, the IPCC came to the conclusion that "warming of the climate system is unequivocal," and that "most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed …

Extreme sea levels around the coast of Southern Africa
… to study the nature and behaviour of extreme high sea levels with a view towards predicting the likelihood of extremes occurring in the future. A recorded sea level height can be thought of as a combination of an astronomical tide and a weather determined component. In Southern Africa tides …

Bet- hedging reproduction strategies in the massive Caribbean coral Favia fragum
… bottlenecks. Prolonged summer periods of high sea surface temperatures combined with anthropogenic impacts are inhibiting environmental cues that have previously secured reproductive success in tropical scleractinian corals and enabled them to fine-tune their reproductive patterns to time …

A statistical investigation of the behavioural responses of a deep diving predator to mesoscale oceanographic features
… of the island is an extensive region of high sea level anomaly variability (eddy field). Previous research has shown how southern elephant seals from Kerguelen Island and Peninsula Valdés have targeted eddies for foraging. These findings combined with the observed post-moult migrations of …

The marine geology of Mossel Bay, South Africa
… of the terrestrial landscape now submerged by high sea levels offshore of Mossel Bay along the South Coast of South Africa. Three marine geophysical surveys and scuba diving were used to examine evidence of past sea-level fluctuations and interpret geological deposits on the seafloor. …

UNDERSTANDING OF THE VARIABILITY OF PHYTOPLANKTON ECOSYSTEM FUNCTION PROPERTIES: A SYNERGISTIC USE OF REMOTE SENSING AND IN SITU DATA
… of other organisms such as zooplankton, fish, sea birds and marine mammals. The aim of this research was to understand the ecology of phytoplankton and assess which environmental, physical, biological, and spatiotemporal factors influence their distribution and abundance. Using this information …

The upper ocean structure of the Antarctic circumpolar current in the vicinity of the South-West Indian ridge
… (ACC) when it encounters the complex SWIR. High sea surface variability has been observed at the southwest Indian sector of the Southern Ocean, specifically at and around 50°S;30°E. As the strong eastward flowing ACC encountered the elevated and complex bottom topography of the SWIR it was …

Orbital-scale fluctuations in continental weathering flux and continental ice-volume during greenhouse and icehouse climate intervals : evidence from oxygen and neodymium isotopes
… most accurate models of future climate, many researchers look to past greenhouse intervals for insight; intervals of time identified by high modeled atmospheric CO2, a lack of glacial deposits, and geologic evidence of globally high sea-levels--all of which suggest little to no glacial ice and a …

Foraminiferal and stable isotope investigation of the Cenomanian-Turonian extinction and oceanic anoxic event
… tectonic activity, leading to periods of high sea level and no polar ice. This had great effects on the ocean's structure, chemistry and circulation, and led to both extinction and diversification of biota. At the time of the CTB a number of events occurred. Particularly well researched is …

Geochronology of terraced coastal deposits in Calabria and eastern Sicily: tectonic implications
… by interaction between the glacio-eustatic sea level changes and Late Quaternary uplift. Thus, by combining ages and elevations of inner edges with the OIT stages of high sea-level stands, it is possible to accurately evaluate the uplift rates of coastal areas and to discriminate, where …
