    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 111, E02S08, doi:10.1029/2005JE002465, 2006 Crater gradation in Gusev crater and Meridiani Planum, Mars J. A. Grant,1 R. E. Arvidson,2 L. S. Crumpler,3 M. P. Golombek,4 B. Hahn,5 A. F. C. Haldemann,4 R. Li,6 L. A. Soderblom,7 S. W. Squyres,8 S. P. Wright,9 and W. A. Watters10 Received 19 April 2005; revised 21 June 2005; accepted 27 June 2005; published 6 January 2006. [1] The Mars Exploration Rovers investigated numerous craters in Gusev crater and Meridiani Planum during the first 400 sols of their missions. Craters vary in size and preservation state but are mostly due to secondary impacts at Gusev and primary impacts at Meridiani. Craters at both locations are modified primarily by eolian erosion and infilling and lack evidence for modification by aqueous processes. Effects of gradation on crater form are dependent on size, local lithology, slopes, and availability of mobile sediments. At Gusev, impacts into basaltic rubble create shallow craters and ejecta composed of resistant rocks. Ejecta initially experience eolian stripping, which becomes weathering-limited as lags develop on ejecta surfaces and sediments are trapped within craters. Subsequent eolian gradation depends on the slow production of fines by weathering and impacts and is accompanied by minor mass wasting. At Meridiani the sulfate-rich bedrock is more susceptible to eolian erosion, and exposed crater rims, walls, and ejecta are eroded, while lower interiors and low-relief surfaces are increasingly infilled and buried by mostly basaltic sediments. Eolian processes outpace early mass wasting, often produce meters of erosion, and mantle some surfaces.

My earliest childhood memories were been stung by jellyfish everytime I swam in the ocean and just how cold the Atlantic Ocean was. Whilst at the University of Cape Town, I worked as a ranger at the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve. The reserve, now part of a larger national park was bounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Indian Ocean to the east which resulted in a very diverse marine environment. I had the privilege of monitoring the Black Oystercatcher population within a 7 km sanctuary zone and have fond memories of been the only person, apart from the baboons on the beach every day. In later years, I worked for a provincial conservation organisation in KwaZulu- Natal, much like DBCA and was responsible, amongst other duties, for the overall management of the many marine reserves.

    Department of Fisheries Department of Parks and Wildlife Department of Regional Development NgariNgari TalesTales News from the Ngari Capes Marine Park No. 3: Autumn 2014 Welcome to the third issue of Ngari Tales, a newsletter for everyone who wants to know more about the Ngari Capes Marine Park: one of Western Australia’s most recently created State marine parks, located in the south-west of WA. Have you seen any damselfish along the Capes? Researchers at the Department of Fisheries, Curtin University and the Western Australian Museum are asking divers in the Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leeuwin area to report any sightings of two damselfish: scissortail Scissortail sergeant (Abudefduf sexfasciatus). sergeant (Abudefduf sexfasciatus) and the Indo-Pacific sergeant (A. vaigiensis) (pictured right). For more than three decades, Barry Hutchins from the Western Australian Museum has been monitoring the annual arrival of pulses of tropical fish larvae at Rottnest Island, and the above two damselfish species have always figured prominently. These tropical species do not breed at Rottnest and it appears that larvae originate from the Houtman Abrolhos Islands off Geraldton, where these species are known to breed. Oceanographic studies by Alan Pearce (Department of Fisheries and Curtin University) have demonstrated that they are carried down in the Leeuwin Current to the waters around Rottnest, which has been their southernmost limit along the Western Australian coast. Indo-Pacific sergeant (A. vaigiensis). An event known as the ’marine heat wave‘ in early 2011 Alan’s investigation of the ocean currents and water resulted in ecological changes ranging from devastating temperatures have led him to suspect that these fish mortality at a number of localities to a variety of damselfish species could be found between the Capes tropical fish, including whale sharks and manta rays, during March and April.

Both tell an amazing story of their lives and work 2 new subfamilies as amphipodologists. Sadly we lost a member of our amphipod 21 new genera family – Michel Ledoyer. Denise Bellan-Santini provides us with a fitting memorial to his life and career. Shortly many 145 new species members of the amphipod family will gather for the 16th ICA in 5 new subspecies Aveiro, Portugal. And plans are well underway for the 17th ICA in Turkey (see page 64 for more information). And, as always, we provide you with a Bibliography and index of amphipod publications that includes citations of 376 papers that were published in 2013-2015 (or after the publication of Amphipod Newsletter 38). Again, what an amazing amount of research that has been done by you! Please continue to notify us when your papers are published. We hope you enjoy your Amphipod Newsletter! Best wishes from your AN Editors, Wim, Adam, Miranda and Anne Helene !1 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 39 2015 Interview with two prominent members of the “Polish group”. The group of amphipod workers in Poland has always been a visible and valued part of the amphipod society. They have organised two of the Amphipod Colloquia and have steadily provided important results in the world of amphipod science.
