Submarine Canyons: Human Connections to the Deep Sea
Submarine canyons are some of the most prominent features of the world’s continental margins creating heterogeneity in the terrain, influencing local and global hydrodynamics and often creating hotspots of biodiversity, both on the seafloor and in the water column. Canyon morphology and location on the margin make them the main conduits between the shelf and the deep sea, focussing the transport of sediments, organic matter, nutrients, and increasingly pollutants and litter. The focus of this Research Topic is highlighting human connections to the deep sea. Previous studies have underlined the need for a better understanding of anthropogenic impacts on submarine canyons, and how they fast-...
Coastal Habitat Conservation
Coastal Habitat Conservation: New Perspectives and Sustainable Development of Biodiversity in the Anthropocene offers the latest research and approaches to biodiversity conservation in coastal areas. The book synthesizes the background of foundational conservation views and provides new perspectives and recent strategies within a sustainable development context for coastal species and organic life. Written by a team of international authors with expertise in wide-ranging issues of biodiversity conservation, this book analyzes the challenges of conserving marine habitats and species that humanity faces in the Anthropocene era. Sections explore emerging and unforeseen impacts within a changing...
Marine Pollution
Updated to reflect recent research, the second edition of Marine Pollution discusses the sources of marine pollutants, their effects on marine organisms and humans, and how to reduce or eliminate them. Weis covers topics like oil spills, flame retardants, pharmaceuticals, noise pollution, and PFAS. A new chapter examines the prevalence of microplastics, how they find their way into our food, and the associated toxic chemicals. Additional chapters address the deadly effects of climate change in the ocean but also focus on actions that all people can take, citing recent environmental improvements as a cause for hope.
Transitioning to Sustainable Life below Water
The ocean plays a central role in the life and development of human kind. Besides space for navigation and trade (roughly 10 billion tons of commodities are transported across the oceans each year), the provision of biological and non-living resources is the most important service of the marine ecosystems. Yet, these ecosystems are increasingly impeded by human activities and interventions. Human and naturally induced changes in climate are buffered by the ocean, but its capacity to compensate the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere is at its limit. The increase of global temperatures and the decrease of oxygen concentration and pH are severe stressors for aquatic species and thus for the whol...
The Mediterranean Sea
This volume is an indispensable addition to the multidisciplinary coverage of the science of the Mediterranean Sea. The editors have gathered leading authorities from the fields of Marine Biology, Ecology, paleoclimatology, Chemical and Physical Oceanography, Zoology, Botany, Aquatic Photosynthesis, Socioeconomics, Mariculture, Mediterranean History and Science of Humanity. Beginning with the birth of the Mediterranean Sea and its myths. From coral to fish, an introduction is given to its major inhabitants of plants and animals past and present. The chapters illustrate how organisms interact as part of the structure and function of the Sea's main ecosystems. The rise of the Mediterranean as ...
Novas perspectivas do Direito Internacional: as relações externas no contexto pós-covid 19 - volume 4
A presente coletânea de artigos é composta de temas sobre as Novas Perspectivas do Direito Internacional, fruto de estudos desenvolvidos pelos pesquisadores da Universidade Federal do Ceará, tratando de assuntos de grande relevo social, que oportunizam ao leitor uma reflexão profunda sobre a importância do contexto internacional para a contemporaneidade, especialmente após o contexto de transpandemia, ou seja, após a Covid-19.
COOPERAÇÃO INTERSETORIAL E INOVAÇÃO
As regras estabelecidas pela Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos no Brasil bem como outros marcos legais acabam com a dualidade do antigo sistema coleta-disposição final, ingressando na cadeia de resíduos determinadas obrigações que exigem maior complexidade técnica e parcerias estratégicas, garantindo assim um maior aproveitamento dos resíduos sólidos em um ciclo econômico, gerando, sobretudo, novas oportunidades de negócios e empregos verdes, bem como evitando a saturação na captação dos recursos naturais e protegendo o clima. Contudo, os obstáculos tecnológicos resultados tanto da insuficiente capacidade técnica, quanto regulatória, ainda precisam ser superados. Co...
Submarine Mass Movements and Their Consequences
Submarine mass movements represent major offshore geohazards due to their destructive and tsunami-generation potential. This potential poses a threat to human life as well as to coastal, nearshore and offshore engineering structures. Recent examples of catastrophic submarine landslide events that affected human populations (including tsunamis) are numerous; e.g., Nice airport in 1979, Papua-New Guinea in 1998, Stromboli in 2002, Finneidfjord in 1996, and the 2006 and 2009 failures in the submarine cable network around Taiwan. The Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011 also generated submarine landslides that may have amplified effects of the devastating tsunami. Given that 30% of the Worl...
