Seasonal patterns in mesozooplankton composition, vertical distribution, and timing of reproduction are challenging to study the open sea due ocean currents mix populations different origins. Sill fjords, on other hand, with restricted water exchange, ideal locations for studying taxa- community-specific adaptations prevailing environment. Here, we present re-occurring community structure Bille...

Coastal marine species with pelagic egg and larval stages, such as the Atlantic cod Gadus morhua, can be structured into genetically distinct local populations on a surprisingly small geographic scale considering their dispersal potential. Mechanisms responsible for such small-scale genetic structure may involve homing of adults to their natal spawning grounds, but also local retention of pelag...

[1] The geostatistical structure of a heterogeneous coarse fluvial aquifer is investigated with porosity data derived from neutron logs at a research well field (Boise Hydrogeophysical Research Site, or BHRS) that was designed, in part, to support threedimensional geostatistical analysis of hydrologic and geophysical parameters. Recognizing that the coarse fluvial deposits include subdivisions ...

Fjords are conduits for heat and mass exchange between tidewater glaciers the coastal ocean, thus regulate near-glacier water properties submarine melting of glaciers. Entrainment into subglacial discharge plumes is a primary driver seasonal glacial fjord circulation; however, outflowing may continue to influence circulation after reaching neutral buoyancy through sill-driven mixing recycling, ...

T w o series of pyroxenes have been found in a layered teschenite sill, 22 m thick, emplaced in Late Permian coal measures in the Sydney Basin, New South Wales, Australia. The sill consists of 12 m of homogeneous teschenite, overlain by 6 m of picrite, then by 4 m of a layered sequence. The layering unit of this sequence is teschenite, a pyroxene-rich layer and a narrow leucocratic band. A whol...

BACKGROUND A site near Tuskegee, Alabama was examined for vector-host activities of eastern equine encephalomyelitis virus (EEEV). Land cover maps of the study site were created in ArcInfo 9.2 from QuickBird data encompassing visible and near-infrared (NIR) band information (0.45 to 0.72 microm) acquired July 15, 2008. Georeferenced mosquito and bird sampling sites, and their associated land co...
