This article is published with open access Abstract Hadal trench bottom (>6000 m below sea level) sediments harbor higher microbial cell abundance compared with adjacent abyssal plain sediments. This is supported by the accumulation of sedimentary organic matter (OM), facilitated by trench topography. However, the distribution of benthic microbes in different trench systems has not been well explored yet. Here, we carried out small subunit ribosomal RNA gene tag sequencing for 92 sediment subsamples of seven abyssal and seven hadal sediment cores collected from three trench regions in the northwest Pacific Ocean: the Japan, Izu-Ogasawara, and fi 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: Mariana Trenches. Tag-sequencing analyses showed speci c distribution patterns of several phyla associated with oxygen and nitrate. The community structure was distinct between abyssal and hadal sediments, following geographic locations and factors represented by sediment depth. Co-occurrence network revealed six potential prokaryotic consortia that covaried across regions. Our results further support that the OM cycle is driven by hadal currents and/or rapid burial shapes microbial community structures at trench bottom sites, in addition to vertical deposition from the surface ocean.

Energy and material are continually exchanged at the interfaces between water and air, ice, rocks, and sediments. In addition to the physical and chemical processes, biological processes play a significant role. Vast areas of the ocean remain unexplored. Investigation of the surface ocean is carried out by satellites. All other observations and measurements have to be carried out in-situ using research vessels and spe- cial instruments. Ocean observation requires the use of special technologies such as remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), towed camera systems etc. Seismic methods provide the foundation for mapping the bottom topography and sedimentary structures. We cordially welcome you to the international OCEANS ’09 conference and exhibition, to the world’s leading conference and exhibition in ocean science, engineering, technology and management. OCEANS conferences have become one of the largest professional meetings and expositions devoted to ocean sciences, technology, policy, engineering and education.

  • A Liminal Experience Under the Surface of the Ocean
    UNIVERSIDADE DE LISBOA FACULDADE DE BELAS-ARTES APNEA A liminal experience under the surface of the ocean Janna Nadjejda Ribow Guichet Dissertação Mestrado em Arte Multimedia Especialização em Fotografia Dissertação orientada pela Professora Doutora Maria João Pestana Noronha Gamito 2021 DECLARAÇÃO DE AUTORIA Eu Janna Nadjejda Ribow Guichet, declaro que a presente dissertação de mestrado intitulada “Apnéia”, é o resultado da minha investigação pessoal e independente. O conteúdo é original e todas as fontes consultadas estão devidamente mencionadas na bibliografia ou outras listagens de fontes documentais, tal como todas as citações diretas ou indiretas têm devida indicação ao longo do trabalho segundo as normas académicas. O Candidato [assinatura] Lisboa, 27.10.19 RESUMO O trabalho é sobre uma imersão no oceano e em nós mesmos. A questão é: como podemos obter um efeito positivo por meio do oceano? O primeiro capítulo analisará os pensamentos antigos e contemporâneos do sublime; A figura do vórtice foi usada nas artes e na literatura para criar sensações sublimes, Immanuel Kant e Edmund Burke afirmaram que o sublime pode trazer um efeito positivo que será discutido. Uma sensação sublime diferente é a Liminalidade, que encontrei durante a Apnéia. Muitos artistas descrevem seu poder transformador, que será comparado à pesquisa médica científica. Mas a mensagem fundamental permanece: “A experiência sublime é fundamentalmente transformadora, sobre a relação entre desordem e ordem, e a ruptura das coordenadas estáveis de tempo e espaço. Algo se precipita e somos profundamente alterados.” (Morley, 2010, p.12) O segundo capítulo define Ambientes Imersivos em Artes e Apnéia. Após a experiência liminar comecei a treinar o desporto e aprendi a controlar minha mente e corpo de forma imersiva, o que trouxe à tona os conceitos: ponto do silêncio (preparação), jogo mental (submersão) e foco (volta a superfície).

  • Under High Pressure: Spherical Glass Flotation and Instrument Housings in Deep Ocean Research
    PAPER Under High Pressure: Spherical Glass Flotation and Instrument Housings in Deep Ocean Research AUTHORS ABSTRACT Steffen Pausch All stationary and autonomous instrumentation for observational activities in Nautilus Marine Service GmbH ocean research have two things in common, they need pressure-resistant housings Detlef Below and buoyancy to bring instruments safely back to the surface. The use of glass DURAN Group GmbH spheres is attractive in many ways. Glass qualities such as the immense strength– weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and low cost make glass spheres ideal for both Kevin Hardy flotation and instrument housings.

  • A Partial Glossary of Spanish Geological Terms Exclusive of Most Cognates
    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY A Partial Glossary of Spanish Geological Terms Exclusive of Most Cognates by Keith R. Long Open-File Report 91-0579 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards or with the North American Stratigraphic Code. Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. 1991 Preface In recent years, almost all countries in Latin America have adopted democratic political systems and liberal economic policies. The resulting favorable investment climate has spurred a new wave of North American investment in Latin American mineral resources and has improved cooperation between geoscience organizations on both continents. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has responded to the new situation through cooperative mineral resource investigations with a number of countries in Latin America. These activities are now being coordinated by the USGS's Center for Inter-American Mineral Resource Investigations (CIMRI), recently established in Tucson, Arizona. In the course of CIMRI's work, we have found a need for a compilation of Spanish geological and mining terminology that goes beyond the few Spanish-English geological dictionaries available. Even geologists who are fluent in Spanish often encounter local terminology oijerga that is unfamiliar. These terms, which have grown out of five centuries of mining tradition in Latin America, and frequently draw on native languages, usually cannot be found in standard dictionaries. There are, of course, many geological terms which can be recognized even by geologists who speak little or no Spanish.
