Semi‐arid estuaries are characterized by pronounced seasonal variability, and a functional understanding of these systems requires constraint of coupled biogeochemical processes and relevant temporal and spatial scales. Here we integrate two years of spatial surveys and time‐series measurements to quantify physical, chemical and biological drivers in the largest estuarine system in the Great Barrier Reef […]
GENEVA: The gradual acidification of the subarctic region of the Pacific ocean, is causing a significant increase in the production of nitrous oxide, an ozone-depleting greenhouse gas, according to a study. The researchers, including those from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland, studied the production of nitrous oxide near the Hokkaido […]
Objective: To study the effects of dissolved oxygen and pH on the expression of A type HBGA-like in pacific oysters. Methods: The HBGAs-like in the pacific oysters were isolated and extracted, and the human HBGAs were used for typing. The A type HBGAs was detected by ELISA method, and the P/N value was calculated. The […]
Are all areas of the globe affected equally by ocean acidification? What are its socio-economic consequences? While our general understanding of the impacts of ocean acidification is increasing, information in some areas of the world remains scarce. To help address this gap, the IAEA Ocean Acidification International Coordination Centre (OA-ICC) supported the Indian Ocean Regional […]
Highlights • The comprehensive effects of toxic cyanobacteria and high pH on mussels were assessed. • Interaction between cyanobacteria and high pH on physiological indicator were found. • Compare to high pH, toxic M. aeruginosa induce more severe oxidative stress response. • Toxic algae or high pH exposure history showed latent effects on Hyriopsis cumingii. […]
The International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) was launched in 1987 to coordinate international research on global-scale and regional-scale interactions between Earth’s biological, chemical and physical processes and their interactions with human systems. IGBP’s international core projects Integrated Marine Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Research (IMBER), Surface Ocean–Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS), Past Global Changes (PAGES) and Land–Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone (LOICZ) study ocean acidification.

Established by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1960, the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC-UNESCO) promotes international cooperation and coordinates programmes in marine research, services, observation systems, hazard mitigation, and capacity development in order to understand and effectively manage the resources of the ocean and coastal areas.

The Ocean Acidification International Coordination Center (OA-ICC) is operated by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)’s Environmental Laboratories in Monaco. An advisory board, including members of the SOLAS-IMBER Ocean Acidification Working Group (SIOA WG), provides recommendations to the project. The OA-ICC works in close collaboration with the Ocean Acidification international Reference User Group (iOA-RUG), a forum for dialogue between researchers and stakeholders.

By the end of 2015 IGBP and its projects will be merging into a new international research initiative on global sustainability, Future Earth. Future Earth is a 10-year international programme that will provide critical knowledge required for societies to face the challenges posed by global environmental change and to identify opportunities for a transition to global sustainability.

There was an event when shower chairs are only used by old people and people with
actual incapacity. Happiness is multiplied when shared, so it is with the arrival of new baby that baby showers brings friends and
relatives together offering a emotional support to the parents and celebrating the occasion with
gusto. This make take a bit of background research because you want to be
sure you are speaking with someone who is giving
expert advice customized to the specific health
needs of your little one.
Why people still use to read news papers when in this
technological globe everything is accessible
on web?
