Is Ambient Noise Tomography Across Ocean Basins Possible?
[1] Based on year-long cross-correlations of broad-band seismic records obtained at sixty-six stations within or adjacent to the Pacific Basin, we show that broad-band ambient noise is observed to propagate coherently between island stations and between island and continent stations. For many station pairs, high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) fundamental mode Rayleigh wave Green functions are obse...
متن کاملDiversity and activity of nitrogen-fixing communities across ocean basins
Recent observations of N2 fixation rates (NFR) and the presence of nitrogenase (nifH) genes from heterotrophic N2-fixing (diazotrophic) prokaryotes in unusual habitats challenge the paradigm that pelagic marine N2 fixation is constrained to cyanobacteria in warm, oligotrophic, surface waters. Here, we compare NFR and diazotrophic diversity (assessed via high-throughput nifH sequencing) from a r...
متن کاملBreaking the routine: individual Cory's shearwaters shift winter destinations between hemispheres and across ocean basins.
There is growing evidence that migratory species are particularly vulnerable to rapid environmental changes arising from human activity. Species are expected to vary in their capacity to respond to these changes: long-distance migrants and those lacking variability in migratory traits are probably at considerable disadvantage. The few studies that have assessed the degree of plasticity in behav...
متن کاملContinental faunal exchange and the asymmetrical radiation of carnivores.
Lineages arriving on islands may undergo explosive evolutionary radiations owing to the wealth of ecological opportunities. Although studies on insular taxa have improved our understanding of macroevolutionary phenomena, we know little about the macroevolutionary dynamics of continental exchanges. Here we study the evolution of eight Carnivora families that have migrated across the Northern Hem...
متن کاملMercury Profiles in Sediments of the Arctic Ocean Basins
Total Hg distributions have been measured for seven sediment cores collected from the major basins of the Arctic Ocean during the Arctic Ocean Section in 1994. Hg determinations were perfomed on the top 10 cm of the sectioned cores using gold amalgamation atomic fluorescence spectroscopy. In five cores, Hg concentrations decrease downward from 34 to 116 ng g-1 at the sediment surface to 10-65 n...
