However, much less is known about sand dunes in deep‐marine settings that are affected by strong bottom currents. In this study, dune fields were identified on drowned isolated carbonate platforms in the Mozambique Channel (south‐west Indian Ocean). The acquired data include multibeam bathymetry, multi‐channel high‐resolution seismic reflection data, sea floor imagery, a sediment sample and current measurements from a moored current meter and hull‐mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler. The dunes are located at water depths ranging from 200 to 600 m on the slope terraces of a modern atoll (Bassas da India Atoll) and within small depressions formed during tectonic deformation of drowned carbonate platforms (Sakalaves Seamount and Jaguar Bank).

Instead of sending money or food, we bring people together to share skills and knowledge. In doing so, we create lasting change. Our volunteers work in whatever fields are necessary to fight the forces that keep people in poverty – from education and health through to helping people learn the skills to make a living. We have education programmes in 15 countries, as well as education volunteers in other countries who work in teacher training colleges and with schools on teaching methods and overcoming barriers facing marginalised groups. We also undertake advocacy research through our Valuing Teachers campaign and we are a member of the Global Campaign for Education (GCE) and of the International Task Force on Teachers for Education for All hosted by UNESCO. For more details see back cover or visit www.vsointernational.org NUT The National Union of Teachers (NUT) is the UK’s largest union for qualified teachers in primary and secondary education. The NUT supports a number of campaigns which address international development issues, including VSO’s Valuing Teachers campaign and the Global Campaign for Education. The NUT collaborates with unions and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the Global South on development projects, which aim to provide high-quality education for all children, safeguard the wellbeing and professionalism of teachers, and build the capacity of teacher unions.

  • Global Ocean Surface Velocities from Drifters: Mean, Variance, El Nino–Southern~ Oscillation Response, and Seasonal Cycle Rick Lumpkin1 and Gregory C
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH: OCEANS, VOL. 118, 2992–3006, doi:10.1002/jgrc.20210, 2013 Global ocean surface velocities from drifters: Mean, variance, El Nino–Southern~ Oscillation response, and seasonal cycle Rick Lumpkin1 and Gregory C. Johnson2 Received 24 September 2012; revised 18 April 2013; accepted 19 April 2013; published 14 June 2013. [1] Global near-surface currents are calculated from satellite-tracked drogued drifter velocities on a 0.5 Â 0.5 latitude-longitude grid using a new methodology. Data used at each grid point lie within a centered bin of set area with a shape defined by the variance ellipse of current fluctuations within that bin. The time-mean current, its annual harmonic, semiannual harmonic, correlation with the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), spatial gradients, and residuals are estimated along with formal error bars for each component. The time-mean field resolves the major surface current systems of the world. The magnitude of the variance reveals enhanced eddy kinetic energy in the western boundary current systems, in equatorial regions, and along the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, as well as three large ‘‘eddy deserts,’’ two in the Pacific and one in the Atlantic. The SOI component is largest in the western and central tropical Pacific, but can also be seen in the Indian Ocean. Seasonal variations reveal details such as the gyre-scale shifts in the convergence centers of the subtropical gyres, and the seasonal evolution of tropical currents and eddies in the western tropical Pacific Ocean. The results of this study are available as a monthly climatology. Citation: Lumpkin, R., and G.

  • Circulation, Renewal, and Modification of Antarctic Mode And
    APRIL 2001 SLOYAN AND RINTOUL 1005 Circulation, Renewal, and Modi®cation of Antarctic Mode and Intermediate Water* BERNADETTE M. SLOYAN1 Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, Bremerhaven, Germany STEPHEN R. RINTOUL Antarctic CRC, University of Tasmania, and CSIRO Division of Marine Research, Hobart, Australia (Manuscript received 18 October 1999, in ®nal form 10 July 2000) ABSTRACT Nine hydrographic sections are combined in an inverse box model of the Southern Ocean south of ;128S. The inverse model has two novel features: the inclusion of independent diapycnal ¯ux unknowns for each property and the explicit inclusion of air±sea ¯uxes (heat, freshwater, and momentum) and the water mass transformation they drive. Transformation of 34 3 106 m3 s21 of Antarctic Surface Water by air±sea buoyancy ¯uxes, and cooling and freshening where Subantarctic Mode Water outcrops, renews cold, fresh Antarctic Intermediate Water of the southeast Paci®c and southwest Atlantic. Relatively cold, fresh mode and intermediate water enter the subtropical gyres, are modi®ed by air±sea ¯uxes and interior mixing, and return poleward as warmer, saltier mode and intermediate water. While the zonally integrated meridional transport in these layers is small, the gross exchange is approximately 80 3 106 m3 s21. The air±sea transformation of Antarctic surface water to intermediate water is compensated in the Southern Ocean by an interior diapycnal ¯ux of 32 3 106 m3 s21 of intermediate water to upper deep water. The small property differences between slightly warmer, saltier intermediate water and cold, fresh Antarctic Surface Water results in a poleward transfer of heat and salt across the Polar Front zone.

  • Education Language Policy in Mozambique: a Critical View

Box 80404, Kabwe-Zambia Abstract: The article evaluates the current language policy adopted by the Mozambican government as stated in the Constitution of the Republic of Mozambique and in the article 4 of decree 6/92 on the National Education System. We are of the opinion that coming up with the most suitable language policy is a key element in national building and particularly in the individual citizens’ welfare. Thus, we argue that the analysis of the current language policy is of paramount importance. The study shades light to the government officials, the Ministry of Education officials, teachers, students and all education stakeholders at large in the implication of the current Education language policy for Mozambique. Keywords: The concept language policy; language policy; Bilingual Education; Model and Programmes; the Relevance of a Bilingual Education; the Model of Bilingual Education; An Ideal Education Language Policy. 1. BACKGROUND Due to the nomadic life, and later on with the advancement in the field of navigation as well as trade, people‟s geographical and social mobility increased as compared to the motion in the early civilizations. These led to not only a wider interaction between different languages but also to the emergence of new ones.

  • ICT in Education in Mozambique
    SURVEY OF ICT AND EDUCATION IN AFRICA: Mozambique Country Report ICT in Education in Mozambique by Shafika Isaacs April 2007 Source: World Fact Book1 Please note: This short Country Report, a result of a larger infoDev-supported Survey of ICT in Education in Africa, provides a general overview of current activities and issues related to ICT use in education in the country. The data presented here should be regarded as illustrative rather than exhaustive. ICT use in education is at a particularly dynamic stage in Africa; new developments and announcements happening on a daily basis somewhere on the continent. Therefore, these reports should be seen as “snapshots” that were current at the time they were taken; it is expected that certain facts and figures presented may become dated very quickly. The findings, interpretations and conclusions expressed herein are entirely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the view of infoDev, the Donors of infoDev, the World Bank and its affiliated organizations, the Board of Executive Directors of the World Bank or the governments they represent.

The boundaries, colors, denominations, and other information shown on any map in this work do not imply on the part of the World Bank any judgment of the legal status of any territory or the endorsement or acceptance of such boundaries. It is expected that individual Country Reports from the Survey of ICT and Education in Africa will be updated in an iterative process over time based on additional research and feedback received through the Mozambique - 1 www.infodev.org SURVEY OF ICT AND EDUCATION IN AFRICA: Mozambique Country Report infoDev web site.
