Cold water corals
Cold-water coral reefs require sufficient food supply, temperature between 4-14°C, salinity of 32-38.8 ppt, and dissolved oxygen of 3.8-7.2 ml/L to thrive. They reproduce both sexually through broadcast spawning between February-March and asexually through fragmentation. Larvae drift long distances via ocean currents for 3-5 weeks before settling. Trawling is highly destructive to reefs, damaging 30-50% of Norwegian reefs and removing habitat. Oil installations have supported coral growth, with rates up to 26 mm/yr, though larvae are most at risk from sedimentation during construction. Full reef recovery after damage may take hundreds to thousands of years.
Marine carbon cycle.by masroor
The marine carbon cycle involves the exchange of carbon between pools within the ocean and between the ocean and atmosphere. Carbon is released into and taken up from the atmosphere through various processes like respiration, photosynthesis, and dissolution into cooler ocean waters. Carbon dioxide moves between the surface ocean and atmosphere and is also transported into deep waters via sinking polar waters and returned to the surface via upwelling. Organic matter sinks and accumulates on the ocean floor, providing a food source and releasing carbon dioxide back into waters through respiration. Understanding these carbon cycle processes helps construct climate models to predict climate change impacts.

Water Matters , Episode II 1-29-2016 Prof Sarah Meyland on Managing Long Isl...Save The Great South Bay
Long Island relies solely on groundwater stored in three aquifers for its drinking water supply. Groundwater is recharged through rainfall but over-pumping has caused quantity issues like saltwater intrusion in some areas. Human activities and pollution also threaten water quality. A Long Island Aquifer Management Compact is proposed to oversee groundwater use, develop management plans, study the aquifer systems, and protect this critical resource from overuse and contamination. The Compact would monitor conditions, educate the public, and represent Long Island's water interests.Disasters

Water Worries -- Nitrogen From Septic Tanks, Fertilizer, Poor Sewage Treatmen...Save The Great South Bay
Prof Christopher Gobler of Stony Brook University, a global expert on algal blooms and their causes, presents his overview of Long Island's nitrogen pollution problem and how that is triggering destructive algal blooms throughout our bays. The main culprit? 500,000 septic tanks.Deadzonesslidep
The document discusses dead zones in oceans which are caused by human activities like excessive fertilizer use by farmers. These dead zones have very low oxygen levels that cannot support marine life. The document proposes solutions like using less fertilizer and building water treatment plants to reduce nutrient runoff that feeds algae blooms and creates dead zones.
Mass extinction events in historic era
There have been five major mass extinction events in Earth's history where large numbers of species went extinct. The most severe was 252 million years ago at the end of the Permian period, where 83% of genera on land and sea went extinct due to climate change and volcanic eruptions. The most recent extinction event was 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous period, where an asteroid impact contributed to the extinction of the dinosaurs and 17% of species. Scientists believe a sixth mass extinction is currently underway primarily due to human activities like habitat destruction, pollution, and overpopulation.

Mass Extinctions
It is a powerpoint presentation that discusses about the lesson or topic: Mass Extinctions. It also talks about the definition, characteristics and the concepts about the Mass Extinctions.
Ecosystems
An ecosystem is composed of a biotic community and its abiotic surroundings. Matter cycles through ecosystems as energy from the sun or chemicals moves through food webs. Terrestrial ecosystems include Mediterranean and Atlantic forests, while aquatic ecosystems contain fluvial, wetland, coastal, and marine biomes inhabited by plankton, nekton, and benthos. Ecosystems face threats from invasive species, pollution, overexploitation, and other human-induced environmental changes.
Mass extinction
The extinction of a large number of species within a relatively short period of geological time thought to be due to factors such as a catastrophic global event or widespread environmental change that occurs too rapidly for most species to adapt
In this Presentation, I tried to give an overview of Five Mass Extinctions happened till now.
Marine habitats
1. The document is a quiz on general ecology that covers various topics relating to marine ecosystems.
2. It includes multiple choice and identification questions about different ocean zones like the continental shelf, open ocean, upwelling regions, and deep sea. Specific topics addressed include ocean depth, slope, width, salinity, productivity, and ecological communities.
3. Key areas and concepts tested include the continental shelf, estuaries, salt marshes, mangrove swamps, coastal and equatorial upwelling mechanisms, photic and aphotic zones, hydrothermal vents, and El Niño.
Mass extinction by me and joeleen.
The document discusses mass extinctions throughout history, noting that there have been five major die-offs, including one during the Jurassic period. Some scientists have proposed a cycle of mass extinctions occurring every 26 million years. Research indicates that past mass extinctions may have been caused by unbreathable atmospheres with high carbon dioxide levels that were hazardous to both land and sea life. The document raises the question of whether human activities could be triggering a sixth mass extinction event.
Bm
The document discusses various topics related to freshwater and saltwater habitats on Earth. It describes how fresh water makes up a small percentage of the total water on Earth, found in lakes, ponds, rivers and streams. It also discusses the water cycle, how water is constantly recycled from clouds to ground and back again. Finally, it touches on how human activities like pollution can negatively impact water quality in oceans.
Mass extinction
This document outlines 5 major mass extinction events that have occurred throughout history, along with their estimated time periods, sizes, impacted species, and suspected causes. The largest was the Permian-Triassic extinction 251 million years ago, which led to 96% of species being eliminated. The most recent was the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction 66 million years ago that wiped out the dinosaurs. Evidence points to large asteroid impacts as playing a role in the latter, while volcanic activity also likely contributed to several extinctions. The document concludes by noting we may be in the midst of a sixth mass extinction currently due to habitat loss and human impacts.
GEOG3839.20, Paleofloods
Major losses from natural disasters in 2010 were as follows:
- Storms: $20.1 billion
- Earthquakes: $12.9 billion
- Floods: $6.4 billion
- Cold/frost: $0.4 billion
- Droughts: $0.01 billion
Tree ring studies have been used to reconstruct past flood levels on the Red River over the past 350 years, helping to better understand the size and frequency of historical floods. Paleoflood evidence from tree scars provides a longer-term context for current flood risks than instrumental records alone.
Water distribution
- 74% of the Earth's surface is covered by water, with 97% of that being salt water which is undrinkable by humans.
- Fresh water makes up the remaining 3% of water on Earth, but 77% of fresh water is locked in glaciers, leaving only 22% as groundwater and 1% in lakes, rivers, and wetlands.
- A mere 0.003% of total water on Earth is readily accessible for human consumption.
Sea as biological environment
This document provides an overview of the marine environment as a biological system. It discusses the various kingdoms of life found in the sea, including monera, protista, fungi, plants, and metazoa. It also describes different types of organisms in the marine environment such as plankton, nekton, and benthos. Key plankton groups discussed include phytoplankton like diatoms and dinoflagellates, and zooplankton like foraminiferans and radiolarians. The marine environment provides habitat for many forms of life and ecosystems.
Extinction events
While the biosphere is always in flux, there have been notable instances of dramatic changes in the biosphere, the most extreme examples being five mass extinction events. In this resource, Cynthia Stokes Brown defines mass extinction, discusses that K-T extinction in detail, describes the other four major extinctions in Earth history, and ends by describing some of the proposed causes of mass extinction.

Mass Extinction Seminar Geology
1) The document discusses six major mass extinctions that have occurred throughout Earth's history. These extinctions were likely caused by a combination of large asteroid impacts, flood basalt eruptions, climate change, and other environmental upheavals.
2) The most severe extinction was at the end of the Permian period about 250 million years ago, wiping out over 90% of species. This was possibly triggered by intense volcanic activity.
3) We are currently in the midst of the Holocene or Anthropocene extinction caused primarily by human activities like habitat destruction, pollution, overexploitation of resources, and invasive species. If trends continue, half of existing animal and plant species may be extinct by 2100.
Mass extinction
Mass extinctions are periods in Earth's history when abnormally large numbers of species die out simultaneously or within a limited time frame
Marine environment 08.01.2019
This document discusses the marine environment and its division into zones. It notes that 71% of the Earth is covered by oceans which provide food, energy, water and support livelihoods. The oceans are divided into five main bodies of water and various pelagic and benthic zones based on factors like depth, sunlight penetration and distance from land. These zones each support different marine life adapted to the environmental conditions. Coastal areas like estuaries and coral reefs are also discussed for their ecological importance.
Corals and global warming: the Mediterranean VS the Red Sea
The project aims to create a predictive model of coral survival and reef community structure changes in the Mediterranean and Red Sea under climate change scenarios over the next century. It will examine the effects of temperature warming and ocean acidification on corals and calcifying organisms. The interdisciplinary project brings together experts from various fields like photobiology, physiology, crystallography and population dynamics to study these impacts.
Hydrosphere
The Earth's hydrosphere consists of all water on Earth, including groundwater, water in lakes and rivers, and ice frozen in glaciers. The ocean is divided into distinct regions like the continental shelf, continental slope, and ocean floor. There are five major oceans - the Atlantic, Indian, Pacific, Antarctic, and Arctic oceans - as well as smaller seas that are nearly surrounded by land.
Where is earth's water located
The document summarizes where Earth's water is located and in what forms it exists. It states that 97% of all water exists as oceans, 3% is freshwater, and 69% of freshwater is locked up as glaciers and icecaps. It also notes that almost all remaining freshwater exists as groundwater below the Earth's surface, and that only 0.3% of freshwater is found in rivers and lakes, yet this is where most water used by humans comes from.
Mass.extinction
This document discusses extinction, both historically and currently. It explores past mass extinction events and examines whether the current extinction rates constitute a sixth mass extinction. While not at the level of past mass extinctions yet, losing threatened species endangers many forms of life. The document also analyzes evidence that early humans drove megafauna to extinction through overhunting. Though human-driven changes can produce artificial selection, species sometimes adapt when released from those pressures. Island ecosystems face especially high extinction risks from human impacts.
Hydrosphere (jesus javi angel)
This document discusses water and its distribution on Earth. It covers the hydrosphere, the water cycle, the composition of water, how water is distributed as liquid, solid and vapor. It discusses the major uses of water in agriculture, society and industry. It also covers continental water sources like rivers, lakes and underground aquifers. Glaciers are described as making up 10% of the Earth's water. The document ends by noting that 60% of the human body is water and that water pressure can cause conditions like timpanism during diving.
Hydrosphere
The document discusses the hydrosphere, which is the total amount of water on Earth including oceans, ice, freshwater, and water vapor. It describes the major components of the hydrosphere like oceans, glaciers, freshwater, and atmospheric water vapor. Tables provide data on the volumes and percentages of total water contained in oceans, ice, underground aquifers, lakes, and the atmosphere. The document also outlines the different zones of the oceans from the epipelagic zone at the surface to the deepest hadalpelagic zone, and notes some characteristic animals found in each zone.

Mass extinctions
The document discusses extinction and mass extinction events throughout Earth's history. It notes that extinction is a natural part of evolution, with 99.9% of all species that ever lived now extinct. Mass extinctions have occurred periodically, where the extinction rate far exceeds the normal background rate, such as the Permian-Triassic extinction over 250 million years ago where 90-95% of marine species went extinct. Some hypotheses for the causes of mass extinctions include large meteorite impacts, as well as volcanic activity and climate changes.

Desertification through fuel harvesting
1) Microbes have long lived off fossil fuel reserves underground, holding water and enriching soil. Depleting fuel reserves removes this lifecycle, risking desertification.
2) Before extensive fuel harvesting, microbes fed on underground reserves and proliferated upwards, maintaining moisture; depletion leaves the region dependent on sun/rainfall.
3) The Dust Bowl may have resulted from removing fossil fuels and the subterranean microbial populations that stabilized soil and held water, making the region more vulnerable to erosion.
Water Distribution on Earth
The document discusses the distribution of water on Earth. It notes that:
- 71% of the Earth's surface is covered in water, but 97% of that water is salty ocean water, leaving only 3% as freshwater.
- The major stores of freshwater are glaciers/ice (2.15%), groundwater (0.61%), and freshwater lakes (0.009%). Smaller amounts are found in the atmosphere, inland seas, soil moisture, and rivers.
- Water is distributed through the hydrologic cycle and, while it changes forms, the amount of water on Earth remains fairly constant over time as it is recycled.

MASS EXTINCTION
The document discusses the major mass extinction events that have occurred throughout Earth's history. It defines mass extinction as an event where a large portion of biodiversity is lost. It then describes the five largest mass extinction events by time period, effects on species, and potential causes. Currently, the document states that humans are causing a sixth mass extinction by overhunting species, spreading invasive species and disease, polluting the environment, and contributing to climate change.
01oceans intro
The document discusses several key facts about oceans:
- Oceans cover over 70% of the Earth's surface and contain 97% of the planet's water. Less than 1% is fresh water.
- Life originated in the oceans, first emerging around hydrothermal vents without sunlight. Chemosynthesis provided the first energy source.
- The ocean contains over 1.3 billion cubic kilometers of water and reaches depths over 11 kilometers in the Marianas Trench.
Biological oceanography
Biological oceanography gradually grew into a major scientific discipline with all these observations of marine organisms and their environments. In this episode, the following modules are highlighted:1. Nature of marine environment, 2. Classification of Marine environment, 3. Role of abiotic parameters on marine life, 4. Marine Flora , and 5. Marine Fauna.
Introduction to oceanography
Brief introduction to the topic on Oceanography. Anyone who have interested to study the basic of oceanography may be refer to this slide.
for me information kindly refer to the text book
"Essentials of Oceanography" Alan P. Trujillo Harold V. Thurman
(Eleventh Edition)
The Intertidal and Kelp Forests - Pacific Coast
The document discusses coastal ecosystems like intertidal zones, kelp forests, and the impacts of human activity. It provides background on coastal ecosystems and their importance as a food source and for tourism. Intertidal zones and kelp forests are described, including different zones and species found. The impacts of the fur trade nearly driving sea otters extinct are summarized, and how this disrupted the coastal ecosystem by allowing sea urchin populations to explode unchecked by sea otter predation. Sea otters are now described as a keystone species that help balance coastal ecosystem dynamics.
Biological Oceanography
Biological oceanography is a major scientific discipline dealing with all aspects of marine life under different zones of the oceanic environments. The interest to study biology by humans started as early as fourth century BC when Aristotle described about 180 species of marine animals. The geographical knowledge of oceans got improved after several great sea expeditions conducted by the people from 15th to 16th centuries. Through Ocean explorations people conducted detailed underwater surveys and mapped the ocean floors with respect to their physical features, chemistry and biological conditions.
Species extinction, and Natural Selection
The document discusses five major mass extinction events in Earth's history:
1) The Ordovician mass extinction occurred 440 million years ago and was likely caused by global cooling and reduced sea levels.
2) The Devonian mass extinction 350 million years ago caused the extinction of many tropical marine species and was due to changes in sea level and ocean anoxia.
3) The Permian-Triassic mass extinction 250 million years ago was the largest mass extinction ever and was caused by acid rain following massive volcanic gas release.
4) The Triassic-Jurassic mass extinction 210 million years ago allowed dinosaurs to flourish after other vertebrates went extinct, caused by climate change and rising sea levels from carbon dioxide

This document discusses how human activities are negatively impacting the oceans through oil spills, pollution, overfishing, and climate change. It notes that over 217 million gallons of oil have been spilled into oceans in the last decade, and that offshore oil rigs and rain pollution from fuel contribute millions more gallons each year. This oil causes damage to wildlife like fish, birds, and mammals. Additionally, overfishing has reduced fish populations by 90% and threatens to wipe out all seafood by mid-century. The oceans are absorbing excess carbon dioxide, leading to warming, rising sea levels, decreased oxygen levels, and acidification that is destroying coral reefs. Urgent action is needed to address these threats facing the
How much of the world remains unexplored
Human exploration has led to the discovery of new species and resources, but much of the planet remains unexplored. The Amazon rainforest, while relatively well-known, is only 10% explored, as is the case for the oceans, where an estimated 95% remains unexplored. Antarctica and the ocean depths also remain largely uncharted territories due to their extreme and inhospitable conditions. Advanced exploration techniques are needed to uncover the many unknown areas that still exist across the Earth.
What sparked the cambrian explosion 2016
- Recent discoveries from reef formations in Namibia and other sites suggest that a small increase in oxygen levels, rather than a large spike, may have crossed an ecological threshold that enabled the emergence of predators and triggered the Cambrian explosion of animal diversity. This predatory relationship likely set off an evolutionary arms race, leading to the rapid emergence of complex body types and behaviors seen in later periods. While oxygen was still important, it may not have needed to rise to modern levels to support this evolutionary burst.
Sergio Antonio Salvi, The Environmental Emergency (lecture extract)
1) The document discusses the environmental emergency facing the Earth, noting that the planet's resources are limited while the human population and consumption levels continue increasing rapidly.
2) It states that human societies are having a strong negative impact on the planet and that we need to change our development model to one that is sustainable in order to ensure a future for coming generations.
3) Statistics are presented on topics like human population growth, consumption of food and energy resources, deforestation, pollution-related deaths, and fossil fuel production to illustrate the environmental challenges.

The deep sea is defined as ocean depths below 200 meters where light levels drop. Conditions are of low temperatures, high pressure, and darkness. Organisms have adapted in various ways to survive, including through chemosynthesis at hydrothermal vents. Deep sea fish also have adaptations like proteins that maintain function under pressure. Exploration of the deep sea is challenging due to the extreme environment, and thus remains one of the least explored regions on Earth.

The deep sea is defined as ocean depths below 200 meters where light fades. Conditions are of low temperatures, high pressure, and darkness, making it a difficult environment to access. Organisms have adapted to survive on scarce food sources like marine snow. The deepest point is the Mariana Trench at over 10,000 meters. Life relies on chemosynthesis around hydrothermal vents, with adaptations to withstand high pressure including changes to proteins and bone structure. The deep sea remains one of the least explored environments on Earth.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
