Development of picoplankton during natural and enhanced mixing under late-winter ice

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Sensitivity to ocean acidification parallels natural pCO2 gradients experienced by Arctic copepods under winter sea ice.

The Arctic Ocean already experiences areas of low pH and high CO2, and it is expected to be most rapidly affected by future ocean acidification (OA). Copepods comprise the dominant Arctic zooplankton; hence, their responses to OA have important implications for Arctic ecosystems, yet there is little data on their current under-ice winter ecology on which to base future monitoring or make predic...

Metabolic and Ultrastructural Changes in Winter Wheat during Ice Encasement Under Field Conditions.

The effect of ice encasement on the physiological, metabolic, and ultrastructural properties of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grown under field conditions was examined by artificially encasing winter wheat in ice during early winter. Cold hardiness and survival of ice-encased seedlings declined less rapidly in Kharkov, a cold-hardy cultivar than in Fredrick, a less hardy cultivar. Ethanol...

Marine Birds in the Marginal Ice Zone of the Barents Sea in Late Winter and Spring

We recorded the distribution and abundance of marine birds in the northern Barents Sea from 27 February to 8 March 1987 and from 20 to 31 May 1988. Birds were more abundant in waters associated with pack ice than in open water away from pack ice. Within the pack ice, thick-billed murres (Uria lomvia) were the most commonly encountered birds in both periods. Murre densities in the pack ice north...
