Vulnerability of semi-enclosed marine systems to environmental disturbances
(Island Press, 2009)
Semi-enclosed marine systems (SEMSs) are impacted on time scales ranging from the
very short (days or less) to the very long (decades and beyond) by many of the same forces and stresses as other components of the Earth ...
AoA Region: Red Sea And Gulf of Aden
(UNESCO/IOC, 2009)
The Red Sea and Gulf of Aden region includes nine countries, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen and contains the Red Sea Large Marine Ecosystem (LME).
Denitrifying bacterial community composition changes associated with stages of denitrification in oxygen minimum zones
(Springer, 2009)
Denitrification in the ocean is a major sink for fixed nitrogen in the global N budget, but the process is geographically restricted to a few oceanic regions, including three oceanic oxygen minimum zones (OMZ) and hemipelagic ...
Introduction to Indian Ocean biogeochemical processes and ecological variability: Current understanding and emerging perspectives
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
Despite a history of exploration dating back to the classical era and its leading role as a pathway for trade and cultural exchange for the great civilizations of those times, the Indian Ocean has consistently been subject ...
AoA Region: South Asian Seas
(UNESCO/IOC, 2009)
The South Asian Seas region lies in the northern extreme of the Indian Ocean. It includes the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal Large Marine Ecosystems (LME) along with their marginal basins as well as the Laccadive Sea and ...
Effects of natural and human-induced hypoxia on coastal benthos
(European Geosciences Union, 2009)
Coastal hypoxia (defined here as <1.42 ml L sup(-1); 62.5 mew M; 2 mg L sup(-1), approx. 30% oxygen saturation) develops seasonally in many estuaries, fjords, and along open coasts as a result of natural upwelling or from ...
Is delta sup(15)N of sedimentary organic matter a good proxy for paleodenitrification in coastal waters of the eastern Arabian Sea?
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
Recently published sedimentary records of delta sup(15)N from several coastal areas affected by both natural and anthropogenically produced shallow hypoxia with the objective of testing this as a proxy for denitrification ...
Preface to: Indian Ocean biogeochemical processes and ecological variability
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
Distribution and relative quantification of key genes involved in fixed nitrogen loss from the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
The Arabian Sea (AS) oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) is one of the largest pelagic low-oxygen environments in the open ocean. It is responsible for the removal of up to 60 Tg of nitrogen annually, roughly an eighth of the global ...
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 ...
