A coastal and marine digital library at USGS A coastal and marine digital library at USGS
The Marine Realms Information Bank (MRIB) is a distributed geolibrary [NRC, 1999] from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), whose purpose is to classify, integrate, and facilitate access to Earth systems science information about ocean, lake, and coastal environments. Core MRIB services are: (1) the search and display of information...

La mondialisation des poussieres, les vents transportent, d'un continent a l'autre, des poussieres, mai aussi des micro-organismes et des substances toxiques. Ces "passagers clandestins" pourraient transporter des maladies et modifier les ecosystems La mondialisation des poussieres, les vents transportent, d'un continent a l'autre, des poussieres, mai aussi des micro-organismes et des substances toxiques. Ces "passagers clandestins" pourraient transporter des maladies et modifier les ecosystems
Un tour d'horizon de la littérature scientifique révèle que de nombreux champs d'investigation sont jugés dignes d'intérêt de façon périodique : certaines idées sont à la mode pour un temps, puis sombrent dans l'oubli, avant de refaire surface comme si elles n'avaient jamais été émises. L'aérobiologie, c'est-à-dire l'étude des micro-organismes, tels des bactéries et des pollens...

Pathogenic human viruses in coastal waters Pathogenic human viruses in coastal waters
This review addresses both historical and recent investigations into viral contamination of marine waters. With the relatively recent emergence of molecular biology-based assays, a number of investigations have shown that pathogenic viruses are prevalent in marine waters being impacted by sewage. Research has shown that this group of fecal-oral viral pathogens (enteroviruses, hepatitis A...

Supraglacial sulfur springs and associated biological activity in the Canadian high arctic - signs of life beneath the ice Supraglacial sulfur springs and associated biological activity in the Canadian high arctic - signs of life beneath the ice
Unique springs, discharging from the surface of an arctic glacier, release H2S and deposit native sulfur, gypsum, and calcite. The presence of sulfur in three oxidation states indicates a complex series of redox reactions. Physical and chemical conditions of the spring water and surrounding environment, as well as mineralogical and isotopic signatures, suggest biologically mediated...

African and Asian dust: from desert soils to coral reefs African and Asian dust: from desert soils to coral reefs
Many hypotheses have been proposed to explain the decline of coral reefs throughout the world, but none adequately accounts for the lack of recovery of reefs or the wide geographical distribution of coral diseases. The processes driving the decline remain elusive. Hundreds of millions of tons of dust transported annually from Africa and Asia to the Americas may be adversely affecting...

Influence of climate on deep-water clastic sedimentation: application of a modern model, Peru-Chile Trough, to an ancient system, Ouachita Trough Influence of climate on deep-water clastic sedimentation: application of a modern model, Peru-Chile Trough, to an ancient system, Ouachita Trough
Traditionally, an abrupt and massive influx of siliciclastic sediments into an area of deposition has been attributed to tectonic uplift without consideration of the influence of climate or climatic change on rates of weathering, erosion, transportation, and deposition. With few exceptions, fluvial sediment transport is minimal in both extremely arid climates and in perhumid (everwet)...

A modern analogue for tectonic, eustatic, and climatic processes in cratonic basins: Gulf of Carpentaria, northern Australia A modern analogue for tectonic, eustatic, and climatic processes in cratonic basins: Gulf of Carpentaria, northern Australia
The Gulf of Carpentaria is a tropical, silled epicontinental sea and may be a modern analogue for ancient cratonic basins. For the purpose of this study, the Gulf of Carpentaria is compared to Pennsylvanian cratonic basins of the United States. During the Pennsylvanian, the North American continent moved from the Southern Hemisphere, through the Equator, into the Northern Hemisphere...
