The relevant Arab governments play a double role since mostly, they control the media, where they appease the ideological positions of their own threatening insurgencies while focusing publ...

A numerical analysis of hypolimnetic nitrogen and phosphorus transformations in Lake Rotoiti, New Zealand: A geothermally influenced lake

Measurements of chlorophyll, oxygen, and particulate and dissolved forms of nitrogen and phosphorus made over a year were used in a one-dimensional diffusion model to calculate rates of generation or loss of these substances in the hypolimnion of Lake Rotoiti, New Zealand. During summer stratification the hypolimnion was always a sink for chlorophyll, particulate nitrogen (PN), particulate phos...

Market-Based Approaches to Pollution Control in the Lake Taupo Catchment in New Zealand

There are at least five general reasons why market-based policies fail to address some of the most basic environmental objectives. This study evaluates the available biophysical and economic data against these criteria and concludes that marketbased approaches should be employed cautiously in pollution control under the present system and the available technology for farming in the lake area. T...

Seasonal variability in turbidity currents in Lake Ohau, New Zealand, and their influence on sedimentation

Layers of sediment that are deposited on the floor of Lake Ohau, New Zealand, offer a means to reconstruct past climate conditions in the Southern Hemisphere at subdecadal and annual resolution. A robust understanding of the modern physical processes that control the influx and dispersal of sediment in the lake is required to reconstruct climate from these sedimentary archives. In this study, w...
