This Keyword List Contains Indian Ocean Place Names of Coral Reefs, Islands, Bays and Other Geographic Features in a Hierarchical Structure
CoRIS Place Keyword Thesaurus by Ocean - 8/9/2016 Indian Ocean This keyword list contains Indian Ocean place names of coral reefs, islands, bays and other geographic features in a hierarchical structure. For example, the first name on the list - Bird Islet - is part of the Addu Atoll, which is in the Indian Ocean. The leading label - OCEAN BASIN - indicates this list is organized according to ocean, sea, and geographic names rather than country place names. The list is sorted alphabetically. The same names are available from “Place Keywords by Country/Territory - Indian Ocean” but sorted by country and territory name. Each place name is followed by a unique identifier enclosed in parentheses. The identifier is made up of the latitude and longitude in whole degrees of the place location, followed by a four digit number. The number is used to uniquely identify multiple places that are located at the same latitude and longitude. For example, the first place name “Bird Islet” has a unique identifier of “00S073E0013”. From that we see that Bird Islet is located at 00 degrees south (S) and 073 degrees east (E). It is place number 0013 at that latitude and longitude. (Note: some long lines wrapped, placing the unique identifier on the following line.) This is a reformatted version of a list that was obtained from ReefBase. OCEAN BASIN > Indian Ocean OCEAN BASIN > Indian Ocean > Addu Atoll > Bird Islet (00S073E0013) OCEAN BASIN > Indian Ocean > Addu Atoll > Bushy Islet (00S073E0014) OCEAN BASIN > Indian Ocean > Addu Atoll > Fedu Island (00S073E0008)

This study provides evidence of the occurrence of this species at the Revillagigedo Archipelago (18899′186′′N 112808′44′′W), Mexico, using acoustic telemetry and videos taken from 2014 to 2016. We report here movements from a coastal location (National Park Cabo Pulmo) to a group of oceanic islands (Revillagigedo Archipelago) by one single individual, supporting the idea of the potential connectivity of sharks between the Gulf of California and the Revillagigedo Archipelago. This report extends the known distribution of N. velox to 400 km off the mainland coast of the Americas, thereby increasing the knowledge of the distribution of a species commonly reported in fishery landings of the Eastern Pacific.

South of Hanko Peninsula
2013 5 CT JE RO SEA P C I T BAL Oceana proposal for a Marine Protected Area South of Hanko Peninsula INTRODUCTION Hanko Peninsula, located at the entrance to the Gulf of Finland, is the southern-most part of the Finnish mainland and boasts an archipelago and long sandy beaches. Salinity is relatively low, ranging from 5.5 to 7.5 psu, and the waters in the shallower coastal areas are limnic1. Upwellings, a common occurrence in the area wherein nutrient-rich sediments are brought up to the surface, cause a rapid increase in the salinity in areas at 35 meters, and a small increase in salinity in the surface water2. The inner waters of the archipelago freeze every year, while the more open waters freeze regularly, but not every winter3. Parts of the coastal area are protected under EU Natura 2000 network, and the area is classified as a sea area requiring specific protection measures. Wetland areas are also included in the Ramsar network. Because of the special characteristics of the area (changing salinity, archipelagos, wetlands), there are a lot of different zones that are able to host a wide variety of different species and communities4. Oceana conducted in the spring of 2011 and 2012 information from the area with ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle), bottom samples and scuba dives. 1 5 South of Hanko Peninsula DesCRipTION OF The AREA Low salinity limits the amount of marine species in the area. Species composition changes completely from the open waters to the coast; with marine species being more common further from the coast and limnic species getting more common closer to the shore.

The Finnish Archipelago Coast from AD 500 to 1550 – a Zone of Interaction
The Finnish Archipelago Coast from AD 500 to 1550 – a Zone of Interaction Tapani Tuovinen [email protected], [email protected] Abstract New archaeological, historical, paleoecological and onomastic evidence indicates Iron Age settle- ment on the archipelago coast of Uusimaa, a region which traditionally has been perceived as deso- lated during the Iron Age. This view, which has pertained to large parts of the archipelago coast, can be traced back to the early period of field archaeology, when an initial conception of the archipelago as an unsettled and insignificant territory took form. Over time, the idea has been rendered possible by the unbalance between the archaeological evidence and the written sources, the predominant trend of archaeology towards the mainland (the terrestrical paradigm), and the history culture of wilderness. Wilderness was an important platform for the nationalistic constructions of early Finnishness. The thesis about the Iron Age archipelago as an untouched no-man’s land was a history politically convenient tacit agreement between the Finnish- and the Swedish-minded scholars. It can be seen as a part of the post-war demand for a common view of history. A geographical model of the present-day archaeological, historical and palaeoecological evi- dence of the archipelago coast is suggested. Keywords: Finland, Iron Age, Middle Ages, archipelago, settlement studies, nationalism, history, culture, wilderness, borderlands. 1. The coastal Uusimaa revisited er the country had inhabitants at all during the Bronze Age (Aspelin 1875: 58). This drastic The early Finnish settlement archaeologists of- interpretation developed into a long-term re- ten treated the question of whether the country search tradition that contains the idea of easily was settled at all during the prehistory: were perishable human communities and abandoned people in some sense active there, or was the regions.

Postglacial Isostatic Movement in Northeastern Devon Island, Canadian Arctic Archipelago
POSTGLACIAL ISOSTATIC MOVEMENTIN NORTHEASTERNDEVON ISLAND, CANADIAN ARCTIC ARCHIPELAGO F. Muller* and W. Barr* ABSTRACT. Raised marinefeatures of the lowlands in the vicinity of Cape Sparbo were investigated. The carbon14 dates of marine shells indicate that the area was clear of ice as early as 15,500 before present and that the most rapid isostatic uplift (approx. 6.5 m. .per century) took place between 9,000 and 8,000 years ago; the total isostatic rebound having been about 110 m. The two oldest dates (15,000 and 13,000 B.P.), if correct, give a rare indication of the slow onset of the isostatic uplift. Rl?SUMl?.

Island Locations and Classifications Christian Depraetere Arthur L
Chapter 2 Island Locations and Classifications Christian Depraetere Arthur L. Dahl Definitions Defining an island, or the state of'islandness', is never straightforward, though this is fundamentally a question of isolation, whether of land isolated by water, or of one enriry being separated from others. This chapter adopts a positivist approach to explore the geographic realities behind our concept ofislands. There is in fact a continuum ofgeographic entities that can fit the definition of "a piece of land surrounded by water": from the continent of Eurasia to the rock on a beach lapped by the waves that becomes a child's imaginary island. Drawing the line between something that is too large to be an island, or too small ro be an island, ultimately remains an arbitrary decision. If one concurs with Holm (2000) that "an island is whatever we call an island", we can select from the traditional uses, the convenient distinctions and arbitrary choices of the past, a terminology for islands that corresponds to scientific observations gleaned from geological, biological and human perspectives. Fortunately, the new tools of remote sensing satellite imagery (such as WORLDWIND for global LAt'\JDSAT imagery by NASA: http: //worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/) provide data sets that make possible for the first time some globally consistent and homogenous measurements of that 'world archipelago' made up ofall those pieces ofland surrounded by water. At the same time, our understanding of geotecwnic movements, sea level changes and island-building processes allows us to see the oceanic 57 A World ofIslands: An Island Studies Reader Island Locations and Classifications islands of today not as erernal entities but as one static image captured The World Archipelago from ongoing processes of islands growing and shrinking, joining and The wor/d during antiquiry as illustrated in the work of Herodotus, being separated, appearing and disappearing through time.

Biodiversity and Management of the Madrean Archipelago: the Sky
This file was created by scanning the printed publication. Errors identified by the software have been corrected; however, some errors may remain. The Madrean Sky Island Archipelago: A Planetary Overview Peter Warshall 1 Abstract.-Previous work on biogeographic isolation has concerned itself with oceanic island chains, islands associated with continents, fringing archipelagos, and bodies of water such as the African lake system which serve as "aquatic islands". This paper reviews the "continental islands" and compares them to the Madrean sky island archipelago. The geological, hydrological, and climatic context for the Afroalpine, Guyana, Paramo, low and high desert of the Great Basin, etc. archipelagos are compared for source areas, number of islands, isolating mechanisms, interactive ecosystems, and evolutionary history. The history of scientific exploration and fieldwork for the Madrean Archipelago and its unique status among the planet's archipelagos are summarized. In 1957, Joe Marshall published "Birds of the American Prairies Province of Takhtajan, 1986) Pine-Oak Woodland in Southern Arizona and Ad and western biogeographic provinces, a wealth of jacent Mexico." Never surpassed, this elegant genetically unique cultivars in the Sierra Madre monograph described the stacking of biotic com Occidental, and a myriad of mysteries concerning munities on each island mountain from the the distribution of disjuncts, species "holes," and Mogollon Rim to the Sierra Madre.
