[ES] Durante la charla se resumirán las labores de investigación llevadas a cabo por el Instituto Español de Oceanografía en colaboración con la Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria dentro de los más de 7 meses de duración del proyecto Bimbache. Este proyecto tuvo como objetivo principal el estudio de las propiedades físico-químicas sobre el volcán submarino de la isla de El Hierro y su repercusión sobre el ecosistema marino. Se explicarán con detalle los datos y muestras analizadas, las técnicas empleadas así como los resultados preliminares más relevantes publicados en revistas científicas de alto índice de impacto.

[ES] Se realiza una presentación somera de los principales tópicos relacionados con las ciencias marinas que serán de impacto social y económico en las próximas décadas, en opinión del ponente. En particular, se presentarán aspectos relacionados con recientes avances y nuevas tecnologías que contribuirán a observar y entender mejor los procesos oceánicos, así como a la explotación sostenible de sus recursos. Se abordarán en especial, aspectos relacionados con los observatorios oceánicos, con la robótica subacuática y con las energías renovables marinas, con especial relevancia al papel que Canarias puede jugar en este escenario global, especialmente en el ámbito de europeo.

[EN] We used 5-yr concomitant data of tracer distribution from the BATS (Bermuda Time-series Study) and ESTOC (European Station for Time-Series in the Ocean, Canary Islands) sites to build a 1-D tracer model conservation including horizontal advection, and then compute net production and shallow remineralization rates for both sites. Our main goal was to verify if differences in these rates are consistent with the lower export rates of particulate organic carbon observed at ESTOC. Net production rates computed below the mixed layer to 110m from April to December for oxygen, dissolved inorganic carbon and nitrate at BATS (1.34±0.79 molO2 m?2, ?1.73±0.52 molCm?2 and ?125±36 mmolNm?2) were slightly higher for oxygen and carbon compared to ESTOC (1.03±0.62 molO2 m?2, ?1.42±0.30 molCm?2 and ?213±56 mmolNm?2), although the differences were not statistically significant. Shallow remineralization rates between 110 and 250m computed at ESTOC (?3.9±1.0 molO2 m?2, 1.53±0.43 molCm?2 and 38±155 mmolNm?2) were statistically higher for oxygen compared to BATS (?1.81±0.37 molO2 m?2, 1.52± 0.30 molCm?2 and 147±43 mmolNm?2). The lateral advective flux divergence of tracers, which was more significant at ESTOC, was responsible for the differences in estimated oxygen remineralization rates between both stations. According to these results, the differences in net production and shallow remineralization cannot fully explain the differences in the flux of sinking organic matter observed between both stations, suggesting an additional consumption of nonsinking organic matter at ESTOC.

[ES] Distintos procesos del medioambiente marino pueden estudiarse utilizando núcleos radiactivos naturales y artificiales como trazadores o indicadores de los procesos. En esta charla abordaremos en clave de divulgación científica aspectos como: la Radiactividad (en qué consiste, cómo se cuantifica, su interacción con nosotros, su origen natural o antropogénico), la Radiactividad en el medio ambiente, la Radiactividad ambiental en Canarias, la importancia de la Radiactividad en las Ciencias del Mar y, por último, la investigación en Radiactividad ambiental que se desarrolla en la ULPGC.

[EN] We describe the coupling between upper ocean layer variability and size-fractionated phytoplankton distribution in the non-nutrient-limited Bransfield Strait region (BS) of Antarctica. For this purpose we use hydrographic and size-fractionated chlorophyll a data from a transect that crossed 2 fronts and an eddy, together with data from 3 stations located in a deeply mixed region, the Antarctic Sound (AS). In the BS transect, small phytoplankton (<20 μm equivalent spherical diameter [ESD]) accounted for 80% of total chl a and their distribution appeared to be linked to cross-frontal variability. On the deepening upper mixed layer (UML) sides of both fronts we observed a deep subducting column-like structure of small phytoplankton biomass. On the shoaling UML sides of both fronts, where there were signs of restratification, we observed a local shallow maximum of small phytoplankton biomass. We propose that this observed phytoplankton distribution may be a response to the development of frontal vertical circulation cells. In the deep, turbulent environment of the AS, larger phytoplankton (>20 μm ESD) accounted for 80% of total chl a. The proportion of large phytoplankton increases as the depth of the upper mixed layer (ZUML), and the corresponding rate of vertical mixing, increases. We hypothesize that this change in phytoplankton composition with varying ZUML is related to the competition for light, and results from modification of the light regime caused by vertical mixing.

[EN] Between October 2011 and March 2012 submarine volcanic eruptions took place at El Hierro (Canary Islands). The event produced plumes of discolored waters due to the discharge of volcanic matter, gases and fluids. Field samples of Chl-a and sulphur reduced species were collected by some oceanographic cruises (Instituto Español de Oceanografía, IEO).

[EN] Stommel has been the most important physicist oceanographer of the second half of the XX century. Builder, to a great extent, of the present Dynamical Oceanography. He contributed to the transformation of the Oceanography from a sort of appendix of the studies of the Atmosphere to a new specialty of Geophysics. After graduating in Astronomy in Yale in 1942 he started his research participating in the WWII effort, collaborating together with many other future oceanographers, in support of the USA Navy. Research that was carried out in the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). Between 1959 and 1978 he was professor of oceanography in Harvard U. first, and later in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, returning to WHOI where he stayed until his death. Stommel established important and fundamental theories on the ocean global circulation and studied many other oceanographic phenomena. This theoretical activity he combined with not a less important observational one. He received many awards and hhonors, including the Craadford prize, equivalent to the Nobel in Geosciences.
