  • Chapter 36D. South Pacific Ocean
    Chapter 36D. South Pacific Ocean Contributors: Karen Evans (lead author), Nic Bax (convener), Patricio Bernal (Lead member), Marilú Bouchon Corrales, Martin Cryer, Günter Försterra, Carlos F. Gaymer, Vreni Häussermann, and Jake Rice (Co-Lead member and Editor Part VI Biodiversity) 1. Introduction The Pacific Ocean is the Earth’s largest ocean, covering one-third of the world’s surface. This huge expanse of ocean supports the most extensive and diverse coral reefs in the world (Burke et al., 2011), the largest commercial fishery (FAO, 2014), the most and deepest oceanic trenches (General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans, available at www.gebco.net), the largest upwelling system (Spalding et al., 2012), the healthiest and, in some cases, largest remaining populations of many globally rare and threatened species, including marine mammals, seabirds and marine reptiles (Tittensor et al., 2010). The South Pacific Ocean surrounds and is bordered by 23 countries and territories (for the purpose of this chapter, countries west of Papua New Guinea are not considered to be part of the South Pacific), which range in size from small atolls (e.g., Nauru) to continents (South America, Australia). Associated populations of each of the countries and territories range from less than 10,000 (Tokelau, Nauru, Tuvalu) to nearly 30.5 million (Peru; Population Estimates and Projections, World Bank Group, accessed at http://data.worldbank.org/data-catalog/population-projection-tables, August 2014). Most of the tropical and sub-tropical western and central South Pacific Ocean is contained within exclusive economic zones (EEZs), whereas vast expanses of temperate waters are associated with high seas areas (Figure 1).

  • 1 – Published Music by Date
    1 – Published music by date The dating of sheet music is notoriously difficult. The dates supplied here have been determined by a combination of: • Publication date on the item • Copyright date on the item • Additional information on the item e.g. an event or reference to earlier works • Address information on the publishers/printer • 3rd part information, e.g. review by a newspaper • Biographical information • Estimate based on style This listing is not intended to follow full descriptive bibliographic conventions. Thus where the date has any sort of collaboration (e.g. advertisement of publication or copyright registration) it is considered to be confirmed. Where no collaboration has been able to be found and an estimate is given, this is indicated by comment “estimated date” in the notes column. First editions only are included, except where a later edition involved a change of publisher.

I) NIWA's SEAMOUNT database was enhanced in order to improve its utility for fisheries managers addressing issues around the effects of bottom trawling on "seamounts". 2) Forty-one additional data fields were erected and populated to create a second version of the database (now with a total of 72 data fields). 3) Access to the updated database is restricted at present to NIW A and MFish. Broader public access is planned by 2010.

    Louisville seamount subduction: tracking mantle flow beneath the central Tonga-Kermadec arc Christian Timm1*, Daniel Bassett2, Ian J. Graham1, Matthew I.

One example of a seamount chain – oceanic arc collision is the ~2,600 km long Tonga-Kermadec arc, where midway the Cretaceous Louisville seamount chain subducts beneath the central Tonga-Kermadec arc system. Here subduction of a thin sediment package (~200 m) beneath oceanic lithosphere together with an aqueous fluid-dominated system allows to track geochemical signatures from the subducted Louisville seamounts and to better understand mantle flow geometry. Geochemical analyses of recent lavas (<10 ka) from volcanic centers west of the contemporaneous Louisville-Tonga trench intersection (Monowai, ‘U’ and ‘V’) show elevated 206Pb/204Pb, 208Pb/204Pb and to a lesser extend 87Sr/86Sr values but N-MORB-type compared to centers to the north and south (e.g. Turner et al., 1997; Haase et al., 2002; Timm et al., 2012) but mostly similar N-MORB-type ratios of fluid-immobile trace elements (e.g.
