Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ocean surrounding the Kermadec Islands is unique in the greater New Zealand region. Situated c. 1000 km northeast of New Zealand near the centre of the South Pacific Subtropical Gyre, the area is largely isolated and includes the largest marine reserve in New Zealand. This study seeks to describe the physical environment of the ocean surrounding the Islands, including surface and deep currents, temperature and salinity stratification, surface chlorophyll and temperature, and the wave climate. Information is drawn from remote satellite measurements, direct measurements from surface and profiling floats, and models. The region has generally weak current flows, with variability in the flow fields dominating the mean flows. There is also strong variability in the stratification, likely as a result of internal tides. Simulations of larval transports indicate possible exchange times between the islands of the Kermadec Group in the order of 3-10 days, but that exchange between mainland New Zealand and the Islands would take 30-50 days. The wave environment is dominated by higher waves in winter and a propensity to swell from the south. Knowledge of the physical marine environment will assist interpretation of studies of organisms in the region and inform discussions of the relative connectivity between the Kermadec Islands and mainland New Zealand.

Book excerpt: This book summarizes what is known about mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) geographically and by major taxa. MCEs are characterized by light-dependent corals and associated communities typically found at depths ranging from 30-40 m. and extending to over 150 m. in tropical and subtropical ecosystems. They are populated with organisms typically associated with shallow coral reefs, such as macroalgae, corals, sponges, and fishes, as well as specialist species unique to mesophotic depths. During the past decade, there has been an increasing scientific and management interest in MCEs expressed by the exponential increase in the number of publications studying this unique environment. Despite their close proximity to well-studied shallow reefs, and the growing evidence of their importance, our scientific knowledge of MCEs is still in its early stages. The topics covered in the book include: regional variation in MCEs; similarities and differences between mesophotic and shallow reef taxa, biotic and abiotic conditions, biodiversity, ecology, geomorphology, and geology; potential connectivity between MCEs and shallow reefs; MCE disturbances, conservation, and management challenges; and new technologies, key research questions/knowledge gaps, priorities, and future directions in MCE research.

Download or read book Contaminants and the Soil Environment in the Australasia Pacific Region written by R. Naidu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Australasia-Pacific Region supports approximately 50% of the world's population. The last half-century has witnessed a rapid increase in the regional population, agricultural productivity, industrial activities and trade within the region. Both the demand for increased food production and the desire to improve the economic conditions have affected regional environmental quality. This volume presents an overview of the fate of contaminants in the soil environment; current soil management factors used to control contaminant impacts, issues related to sludge and effluent disposals in the soil environment; legal, health and social impacts of contaminated land, remediation approaches and strategies to manage contaminated land, some of the problems associated with environmental degradation in the Australasia-Pacific Region and steps that we need to take to safeguard our environment.
