In-situ data of optically active water constituents and their inherent optical properties were collected during a four-week field cruise in Namibian coastal waters and Atlantic Ocean to validate MERIS geophysical products. The in-situ data set covered a wide range of different water types from very productive coastal upwelling waters to clear open ocean waters where the water color varied from ...

Within the seismological community, long-term networks of ocean bottom seismometers (OBSs) are being deployed increasingly for a year or more to monitor earthquakes. These geophysical studies are motivated by the goals of understanding both plate tectonics and the hazards from subduction zones. However, because OBSs typically record signals up to frequencies of ~25 Hz or higher, they also provi...

BLUE CARBON IN FRESHWATER / BRACKISH MARSHES ON THE BARRIER ISLANDS OF VIRGINIA: ABOVEGROUND NET PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY AND CARBON POOLS Emily Caitlin Adams Old Dominion University, 2015 Director: Dr. Frank P. Day “Blue carbon” is a relatively new concept describing carbon distributed tidally and sequestered via net production within coastal ecosystems, including seagrass beds, mangrove forests, ...

Researchers usually focused on using unstructured documents, such as news, scientific literatures, World Wide Web pages, business reports, as input documents of KeyGraph. But the unstructured documents might results in unclear keywords and meaningless keywords. Although traditional document preprocessing could dismiss some of the problems, generating complex and unreadable KeyGraph diagrams wer...

C orporate strategy is heavily influenced by its military roots. The very language of strategy is imbued with military references – chief executive ‘‘officers’’ in ‘‘headquarters’’, ‘‘troops’’ on the ‘‘front lines.’’ Described this way, strategy is about confronting an opponent and fighting over a given piece of land that is both limited and constant. Traditionally, strategy focused on beating ...

Characterization of two genetically distinct groups of marine Synechococcus sp. strains shows that one, but not the other, increases its phycourobilin/phycoerythrobilin chromophore ratio when growing in blue light. This ability of at least some marine Synechococcus strains to chromatically adapt may help explain their greater abundance in particular ocean environments than cyanobacteria of the ...

Biorefinery is the ideal model to help marine industries apply green and blue economy principles towards a more sustainable, profitable, conscious ocean economy.
