    WORKING GROUP I CONTRIBUTION TO THE IPCC FIFTH ASSESSMENT REPORT CLIMATE CHANGE 2013: THE PHYSICAL SCIENCE BASIS Final Draft Underlying Scientific-Technical Assessment A report accepted by Working Group I of the IPCC but not approved in detail. Note: The final draft Report, dated 7 June 2013, of the Working Group I contribution to the IPCC 5th Assessment Report "Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science Basis" was accepted but not approved in detail by the 12th Session of Working Group I and the 36th Session of the IPCC on 26 September 2013 in Stockholm, Sweden. It consists of the full scientific and technical assessment undertaken by Working Group I. The Report has to be read in conjunction with the document entitled “Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science Basis. Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC 5th Assessment Report - Changes to the underlying Scientific/Technical Assessment” to ensure consistency with the approved Summary for Policymakers (IPCC-XXVI/Doc.4) and presented to the Panel at its 36th Session. This document lists the changes necessary to ensure consistency between the full Report and the Summary for Policymakers, which was approved line-by-line by Working Group I and accepted by the Panel at the above- mentioned Sessions. Before publication the Report will undergo final copyediting as well as any error correction as necessary, consistent with the IPCC Protocol for Addressing Possible Errors. Publication of the Report is foreseen in January 2014.

From www.legacy.com: John A. Knauss, the noted oceanographer whose research and advocacy helped raised alarms about the delicate state of the world’s oceans, died Nov. 19, according to The Associated Press. He was 90. After obtaining his bachelor's degree in meteorology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1946, where he studied as part of the United States Navy’s V-12 program, Knauss earned a master's degree in physics from the University of Michigan and a doctorate in oceanography from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. His work quickly become pivotal to the nascent national debate on the environment and water quality, and his pioneering work as a member of the influential Stratton Commission on the report "Our Nation and the Sea: A Plan for National Action" led to the creation of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the formation of the Coastal Zone Management Act.

  • Hydrogeology of the Oceanic Lithosphere Edited by Earl E
    Cambridge University Press 0521819296 - Hydrogeology of the Oceanic Lithosphere Edited by Earl E. Davis and Harry Elderfield Frontmatter More information HYDROGEOLOGY OF THE OCEANIC LITHOSPHERE A comprehensive and up-to-date review of the subject of the nature, causes, and conse- quences of fluid flow in oceanic crust, this edited volume sets in context much recent research for the first time. The book begins with a concise review of the relatively brief history of its subject which began shortly after the dawning of plate-tectonic theory little more than 30 years ago. It then describes the nature and important consequences of fluid flow in the sub-seafloor, ending with a summary of how the oceans are affected by the surprisingly rapid exchange of water between the crust and the water column overhead. The accompanying CD-ROM includes a full and easily navigated set of diagrams and captions, references, and photos of research vessels, submersibles, and tools used in marine hydrologic studies. A valuable resource for graduate students and researchers of Earth Sciences and Oceanography. Earl E. Davis is a senior research scientist at the Pacific Geoscience Centre, Geological Survey of Canada.

    IGBP - SCOR Fast Track Initiative “Ocean Acidification” Atmospheric CO 2 and ocean biogeochemistry: modern observations and past experiences Co-Chairs: Harry Elderfield, Cambridge University, UK Ulf Riebesell, IFM-GEOMAR, Kiel, Germany Ken Caldeira, Carnegie Institution, Stanford, USA Joanie Kleypas, NCAR, Boulder, USA Wally Broecker, LDEO, Columbia University, USA Franck Bassinot, LSCE, Gif-sur-Yvette, France IGBP-SC liaison: Bob Duce, Texas A&M University, USA Organisational lead: PAGES (Thorsten Kiefer) Organisations involved: SOLAS, IMBER, LOICZ, GLOBEC, IOCCP, GCP, IMAGES, IGBP, SCOR, PAGES Overarching Question: What can we learn from past changes in the Earth system to better understand the consequences of ongoing ocean acidification? Background The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide is now higher than experienced on Earth for at least the last 400,000 years, and presumably the last several million years. Moreover, the current rate of CO2 rise of 1.1 ppm/year exceeds even the relatively rapid increases at transitions from glacial to interglacial periods by about two orders of magnitude. As a direct effect of rising CO2, global temperatures are predicted to increase by several degrees during this century. Another, less highlighted consequence will be increased surface ocean pCO2 and a lowering of the pH of the surface ocean. For example, as atmospheric CO2-levels will double over their pre-industrial values by the middle of this century, the accompanying surface ocean pH changes are expected to be three times greater than those experienced during glacial to interglacial transitions. Many questions on the effect of increasing atmospheric CO2 on ocean chemistry and marine life are unanswered or cannot be answered quantitatively.

The use of ‘fossil’ REE analyses in 27 the service of palaeoceanography as redox, water transport or nutrient cycling ‘proxies’ has 28 long been a tantalizing possibility. Here we demonstrate the application of a novel laser- 29 ablation microanalysis approach for the rapid and accurate measurement of the REE 30 composition of early diagenetic ‘coatings’ on fossil foraminifera.
