On the basis of their respective eruptive environments and chemical characteristics, alkalic dolerite sills from the northern Pigafetta Basin (Site 800) and tholeiitic pillow lavas from the Mariana Basin (Site 802) sampled during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 129 are considered to represent examples of the widespread mid-Cretaceous volcanic event in the western Pacific. Both groups of basic rocks feature mild, low-grade, anoxic smectite-celadonite-carbonate-pyrite alteration; late-stage oxidation is very limited in extent, with the exception of the uppermost sill unit at Site 800. The aphyric and nonvesicular Site 800 alkalic dolerite sills are all well-evolved mineralogically and chemically, being mainly of hawaiite composition, and are similar to ocean island basalts. They are characterized by high contents of incompatible elements (for example, 300-400 ppm Zr), well-fractionated rare earth element patterns ([La/Yb]N 18-21) and HIMU isotopic characters. They probably represent deep-sea, lateral, intrusive off-shoots from nearby seamounts of similar age. The olivine-plagioclase +/- clinopyroxene phyric tholeiitic pillow lavas and thin flows of Site 802 are nonvesicular and quench-textured throughout. Relative to normal-type mid-ocean ridge basalt, they are enriched in large-ion-lithophile elements, exhibit flat (unfractionated) rare earth element patterns and have distinctive (lower) Zr/Nb, Zr/Ta, La/Ta, and Hf/Th ratios. Overall they are compositionally and isotopically similar to the mid-Cretaceous tholeiites of the Nauru basin and the Ontong-Java and Manihiki plateaus. The Site 802 tholeiites differ from the thickened crustal segments of the oceanic plateaus, however, in apparently representing only a thin veneer over the local basement in an off-axis environment.

Basaltic rocks recovered from three drill sites in the western Pacific during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 129 have fairly distinct Sr, Nd, and Pb isotopic compositions. The Cretaceous alkali olivine dolerites from Site 800 in the northern part of Pigafetta Basin have fairly low 87Sr/86Sri (0.70292-0.70320) and 143Nd/144Ndi (0.51277-0.51281) and high present-day Pb isotopic ratios (206Pb/204Pb = 20.53-21.45; 207Pb/204Pb = 15.70-15.77; 208Pb/204Pb = 40.02-40.68). The Middle Jurassic tholeiites from Site 801 in the southern part of the basin have low 87Sr/86Sri (0.70237-0.70248), high 143Nd/144Ndi (0.51298-0.51322), and moderate present-day Pb isotopic ratios (206Pb/204Pb = 18.20-19.12; 207Pb/204Pb = 15.47-15.60; 208Pb/204Pb = 37.56-38.18); isotopic compositions of the alkali olivine basalts overlying the tholeiites fall between those of the tholeiites and Site 800 dolerites. The Cretaceous tholeiites from Site 802 in the East Mariana Basin have high 87Sr/86Sri (0.70360-0.70372), fairly low 143Nd/144Ndi (0.51277-0.51280), and fairly low and homogeneous present-day Pb isotopic ratios (206Pb/204Pb = 18.37-18.39; 207Pb/204Pb = 15.49-15.51; 208Pb/204Pb = 38.34-38.39). Isotopic compositions of Site 801 tholeiites are indistinguishable from those of modern mid-ocean ridge basalts, consistent with the proposal that these tholeiites are a part of the oldest Pacific crust. The diverse isotopic compositions of the younger basalts appear to be the result of Jurassic Pacific plate migration over the geologically anomalous south-central Pacific region, wherein they acquired their distinct isotopic compositions. The anomalous region was volcanically more active during the Cretaceous than at present.

The euphotic depth (Zeu) is a key parameter in modelling primary production (PP) using satellite ocean colour. However, evaluations of satellite Zeu products are scarce. The objective of this paper is to investigate existing approaches and sensors to estimate Zeu from satellite and to evaluate how different Zeu products might affect the estimation of PP in the Southern Ocean (SO). Euphotic depth was derived from MODIS and SeaWiFS products of (i) surface chlorophyll-a (Zeu-Chla) and (ii) inherent optical properties (Zeu-IOP). They were compared with in situ measurements of Zeu from different regions of the SO. Both approaches and sensors are robust to retrieve Zeu, although the best results were obtained using the IOP approach and SeaWiFS data, with an average percentage of error (E) of 25.43% and mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.10 m (log scale). Nevertheless, differences in the spatial distribution of Zeu-Chla and Zeu-IOP for both sensors were found as large as 30% over specific regions. These differences were also observed in PP. On average, PP based on Zeu-Chla was 8% higher than PP based on Zeu-IOP, but it was up to 30% higher south of 60°S. Satellite phytoplankton absorption coefficients (aph) derived by the Quasi-Analytical Algorithm at different wavelengths were also validated and the results showed that MODIS aph are generally more robust than SeaWiFS. Thus, MODIS aph should be preferred in PP models based on aph in the SO. Further, we reinforce the importance of investigating the spatial differences between satellite products, which might not be detected by the validation with in situ measurements due to the insufficient amount and uneven distribution of the data.

Background: Studies of oyster microbiomes have revealed that a limited number of microbes, including pathogens, can dominate microbial communities in host tissues such as gills and gut. Much of the bacterial diversity however remains underexplored and unexplained, although environmental conditions and host genetics have been implicated. We used 454 next generation 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing of individually tagged PCR reactions to explore the diversity of bacterial communities in gill tissue of the invasive Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas stemming from genetically differentiated beds under ambient outdoor conditions and after a multifaceted disturbance treatment imposing stress on the host. Results: While the gill associated microbial communities in oysters were dominated by few abundant taxa (i.e. Sphingomonas, Mycoplasma) the distribution of rare bacterial groups correlated to relatedness between the hosts under ambient conditions. Exposing the host to disturbance broke apart this relationship by removing rare phylotypes thereby reducing overall microbial diversity. Shifts in the microbiome composition in response to stress did not result in a net increase in genera known to contain potentially pathogenic strains. Conclusion: The decrease in microbial diversity and the disassociation between population genetic structure of the hosts and their associated microbiome suggest that disturbance (i.e. stress) may play a significant role for the assembly of the natural microbiome. Such community shifts may in turn also feed back on the course of disease and the occurrence of mass mortality events in oyster populations.

Resumen: Las redes de sensores inalámbricos han atraído mucha atención en los últimos años debido a la integración de tecnología inalámbrica, computación y tecnología de sensores. Estas redes consisten en una serie de nodos equipados con capacidades de procesamiento, comunicación y sensado. Utilizan protocolos especiales de radio para transmitir datos en un modo multisalto de operación. En este trabajo se propone utilizar una red de sensores para el monitoreo de las condiciones ambientales de Higiene y Seguridad en entornos industriales. Concretamente se monitorean Temperatura, Humedad, Ruido y Luminosidad. Se propone esta recolección de datos para dar soporte a la inspección anual de un auditor externo, por lo que no se considera esta recolección como crítica dado que no controlan ningún dispositivo. En primera instancia se aborda el problema utilizando una red de sensores con módulos que utilizan el protocolo 802.15 los cuales transmiten a un nodo maestro que sirve como gateway para enviar la información a un servidor que la almacena. La recolección de datos se realiza a través de una plataforma arduino como interface entre el módulo inalámbrico y los sensores. Esta primera propuesta es contrastada con un enfoque de Internet de las Cosas (IoT) utilizando módulos Arduino con WiFi embebido, denominados Wido, que permiten la comunicación de datos directamente al servidor de almacenaje. El trabajo comprende la caracterización del problema, elección del hardware, diseño de la red y la realización de pruebas para evaluar el funcionamiento de ambos enfoques.

An integrated instrument package for measuring and understanding the surface radiation budget of sea ice is presented, along with results from its first deployment. The setup simultaneously measures broadband fluxes of upwelling and downwelling terrestrial and solar radiation (four components separately), spectral fluxes of incident and reflected solar radiation, and supporting data such as air temperature and humidity, surface temperature, and location (GPS), in addition to photographing the sky and observed surface during each measurement. The instruments are mounted on a small sled, allowing measurements of the radiation budget to be made at many locations in the study area to see the effect of small-scale surface processes on the large-scale radiation budget. Such observations have many applications, from calibration and validation of remote sensing products to improving our understanding of surface processes that affect atmosphere-snow-ice interactions and drive feedbacks, ultimately leading to the potential to improve climate modelling of ice-covered regions of the ocean. The photographs, spectral data, and other observations allow for improved analysis of the broadband data. An example of this is shown by using the observations made during a partly cloudy day, which show erratic variations due to passing clouds, and creating a careful estimate of what the radiation budget along the observed line would have been under uniform sky conditions, clear or overcast. Other data from the setup's first deployment, in June 2011 on fast ice near Point Barrow, Alaska, are also shown; these illustrate the rapid changes of the radiation budget during a cold period that led to refreezing and new snow well into the melt season.

Mean values of radiogenic heat production are derived from measurements of radioelements on the following rock types: amphibolite (0.358 ± 0.118 µW/m**3) and tonalite gneiss (0.802 ± 0.039 µW/m**3) at Site 1067 and serpentinized peridotite (0.0108 ± 0.0003 µW/m**3) at Site 1068. The results for serpentinized peridotite and amphibolite are consistent with previous measurements on samples from Sites 897 and 900. These results suggest that the thin continental crust in this region would contribute very little to the conductive heat flow.
