The 16th Deep-Sea Biology Symposium was held in Brest, France, and online from the 12th to the 17th of September 2021. The first DSBS hybrid symposium brought together scientists, students, managers, policymakers, and industry specialists who presented advances in deep-sea research. Themes of the symposium, and of this Research Topic, include: - Conservation and stewardship: natural/anthropogenic impacts, conservation, governance. This includes but it is not limited to: deep-seabed mining, pollutants and debris, climate change impacts; marine spatial planning; stewardship of the deep ocean; - Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning: biodiversity patterns, species distribution, function; from ...
Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review remains one of the most cited sources in marine science. The increasing interest in work in oceanography and marine biology and its relevance to global environmental issues, especially global climate change and its impacts, creates a demand for authoritative refereed reviews summarising and synthesising the results of both historical and recent research. For more than 50 years, OMBAR has been an essential reference for researchers, students and workers in all fields of marine science. An international Editorial Board ensures global relevance and expert peer review, with editors from Australia, Hong Kong, Ireland, Singapore, and the UK. The se...
Seafloor fluid and gas emission has been revealed to be a geographically widespread phenomenon in recent years as researchers have discovered new off-axis hydrothermal vent fields and previously unmapped shallow (deltaic, continental shelf) and deep water cold seeps. Seafloor seep emissions play a critical role in global biogeochemical cycles, but also contribute to the development of economically important mineral deposits that are increasingly targeted for exploitation. Hydrothermal vents and cold seeps host unique microbiological and macrofaunal communities that provide clues to life on primordial Earth, and seafloor fluid and gas emissions play a complex role in microbial dispersal, ocean chemistry, plankton dynamics, and possibly global climate. This Research Topic will address the knowledge gaps about the linked chemistry, macro/microbiology, physics, and geology of seafloor emissions and explore both the economic potential and conservation efforts associated with hydrothermal vents and cold seeps.

Em seu terceiro livro, da série Ruminações, Maurício trata de economia num contexto informativo, crítico e filosófico. Destacam-se as intertextualidades com a literatura (Drummond, Pessoa, Camões, Millôr, entre outros). O livro traz sólida fundamentação teórica, bases acadêmicas e eruditas, mas consegue, ao mesmo tempo, ser leve, e por vezes, até mesmo descontraído, conduzindo o(a) leitor(a) a associar temas "espinhosos" com sua vivência cotidiana, em meio à realidade brasileira de 2022.
This book presents the biodiversity of the Brazilian deep-sea and its many unique geological and biological features, as well as a review of its ecology, conservation, and future research needs. The deep-sea Brazilian margin has an incredible geological heterogeneity with numerous characteristic seafloor features, and latitudinal changes in marine productivity, oceanographic conditions and biological communities have resulted in very distinct biological assemblages at regional and bathymetric scales. It is a tremendously rich ecosystem in terms of living species, from which many well-known historical tales have originated, and with unique importance for the global climate and humanity. Nevertheless, vast areas of the Brazilian margin have been explored for fishing, oil and gas, and other commodities, likely impacting a variety of deep-sea habitats at scales and intensities yet undetermined. This book is intended for students, scholars, professionals and a wide audience interested in the deep-sea in general and, more specifically, in the South Atlantic deep-sea.
Information Engineering Management has found applications in many areas, including environmental conservation, economic planning, resource integration, cartography, urban planning, risk assessment, pollution control and transport management systems. Technology plays an active role in the relationship of Data Mining to environmental conservation planning.Bringing together papers presented at the Eighth International Conference on Data, Text and Web Mining and their Business Applications, this book addresses the new developments in this important field. Featured topics include: Text Mining; Web Content, Structures and Usage Mining; Clustering Technologies; Categorisation Methods; Link Analysis; Data Preparation; Applications in Business, Industry and Government; Applications in Science Engineering; National Security; Customer Relationship Management; Competitive Intelligence; Mining Environment and Geospatial Data; Business Process Management (BPM); Enterprise Information Systems; Applications of GIS and GPS; Applications of MIS; Remote Sensing; Information Systems Strategies and Methodologies and Bio Informatics.
