Iron inputs from sediments to the oceans
… of iron (Fe) inputs from sediments to the<br/>oceans. In the last 10 years continental shelf sediments have become widely recognised<br/>as important vectors for dissolved Fe inputs to the oceans, where bacterial dissimilatory<br/>Fe-reduction (DIR) promotes the flux of Fe to the water column …

Where three oceans meet : the Algulhas retroflection region
… South Indian, South Atlantic, and Circumpolar Oceans. A new survey of the Agulhas Retroflection taken in March 1985, plus historical hydrographic data, allow its dynamical and water-mass characteristics, and its role in exchanging mass, tracers, and vorticity between the three oceans, to be …

Picophytoplankton photoacclimation and mixing in the surface oceans
Fluctuations in light intensity due to vertical mixing in the open ocean surface layer will affect phytoplankton physiology. Conversely, indicators of phytoplankton photoacclimation will be diagnostic of mixing processes if the appropriate kinetics are known. A combination of laboratory and field …

Dissolved inorganic and particulate iodine in the oceans
… capability, the lower limit of the pE of the oceans is estimated to be 10.7. Thermodynamic considerations further suggest that the iodide-iodate couple is a poor indica tor for the pE of the oceans with a limited usable range of 10.0 to 10.7. In the Gulf of Maine during the winter of 1974 to …

Pliocene-Pleistocene Radiolarian Investigations of the Equatorial Oceans
… (1.95-1.79Ma) of the equatorial Indo-Pacific Oceans. A number of radiolarian tools are used as palaeoceanographic proxies, including the recognition of distinct glacial and interglacial assemblages, which form the basis of a new Radiolarian Temperature Index (RTI), and the further development …

Four Oceans: An integrated approach to Australia's maritime domain
… fish rarely make an appearance in discussions on oceans security. The contribution of constabulary operations to maritime security -- in the absence of hostilities -- remains unseen, under described, poorly appreciated and lacking a contemporary conceptualisation. The central tenet of this thesis …

Near-equatorial deep circulation in the Indian and Pacific oceans
… the near-equatorial Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans are reviewed. Flow of deep and bottom water in the near-equatorial Indian and Pacific oceans, the two oceans with only a southern source of bottom water, is described through analysis of recent CTD data. Zero-velocity surfaces are chosen …

Plastic Oceans: A New Way in solving Our Plastic Pollution
<p>By 2050, the world’s oceans will have more plastic than fish with potentially catastrophic consequences on sea life and the health of the ocean. Economically, countries with coastal boundaries will be heavily impacted as plastic pollution has already generated a 13 billion dollars in monetary …

Observations of long period waves in the tropical oceans and atmosphere
The existence of resonant, baroclinic, equatorially-trapped inertia-gravity waves (discovered by Wunsch and Gill (1976)) is confirmed in the mid-Pacific by spectral analysis of long sea level records. The energy of the low-mode inertia-gravity waves is found to decrease toward the meridional …

Un-mixing the Ocean: Double Diffusion and Turbulence in Polar Oceans
This thesis concerns theory, numerical simulations and observations of double-diffusion in polar settings. Double diffusion refers to processes occurring due to the difference in molecular diffusivities between two components that both contribute to the density. Specifically, these processes occur …
