Abrupt climate change and collapse of deep-sea ecosystems.
We investigated the deep-sea fossil record of benthic ostracodes during periods of rapid climate and oceanographic change over the past 20,000 years in a core from intermediate depth in the northwestern Atlantic. Results show that deep-sea benthic community "collapses" occur with faunal turnover of up to 50% during major climatically driven oceanographic changes. Species diversity as measured b...
متن کاملDeep sea in deep trouble?
Ahead of the imminent start of the industrial exploitation of deep sea resources, an EU report finds that scientific knowledge and understanding of this environment and its ecosystems still fall short of what would be needed for a sustainable use.
متن کاملClimate change and the collapse of the Akkadian empire: Evidence from the deep sea
Mesopotamia is the broad, flat alluvial plain between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in what is today Syria and Iraq (Fig. 1). Under the rule of Sargon of Akkad, the world’s first united empire was established in this region, linking the remote agricultural hinterlands of northern Mesopotamia with the complex city-states in the south. This united empire extended from the Persian Gulf to the he...
متن کاملDeep - Sea Bacteria
The presence of living bacteria in some of the deepest parts of the ocean was demonstrated on the Galathea Expedition. Sediment samples taken from the bottom of the Philippine Trench at depths exceeding 10 000 meters were found to contain from 104 to 1Q6 living bacteria per ml. Large bacterial populations were also detected in sediment samples from the floor of the Kermadec-Tonga Trench (6790 t...
متن کاملDeep sea sedimentation
An important problem in the study of microparticles in the marine environment, suspended in the water column or deposited as sediment on the ocean bottom, is the determination of provenance of the microparticles-where did they come from and by what processes were they transported to the sampling location? Two techniques of possible interest to those concerned with tracing the origins and disper...
