摘要:
When cities bake in the summer heat and polluted air blankets the ground, thunderstorms are a welcome relief. They cleanse the air, at least temporarily. Convective storms suck pollutants from the surface and loft them high into the troposphere. But scientists flying through clouds have found that the storms are actually accelerating the formation of ozone, worsening air quality over large areas and increasing the greenhouse effect.

摘要:
Graduate education, student quality, stipend support, and subsequent employment form a triad of concern to many oceanographers. While the number of graduate degree programs in oceanography in the U.S. exceeds 50, remarkably few data are available on numbers of student applications, student survival rates, the quality of the applicants and accepted students, and their subsequent employment.Consequently, most discussions within an institution are based on data from a single school, while most statements made to federal government program managers by scientists are based on personal perceptions and feelings. With the emerging global initiatives, which are very labor intensive, it appears appropriate to ask, “Is there an impending crisis in graduate education in oceanography?” Widespread concern about availability of new talent, the quality of incoming students, and the overall national crisis in science and engineering student recruitment has led many scientists to state that oceanography has widespread problems in terms of student numbers and, more importantly, quality. Often, when a scientist does not find a student in the spring application rites, the scientist declares there is a national shortage of well‐qualified students. Moreover, in certain subdisciplines of the field (e.g., physical oceanography) the crisis is perceived as severe and immediate, though as we shall see, physical oceanography is in an improving mode and is also experiencing an interesting increase in the numbers of well‐qualified women app

摘要:
The Smithsonian Institution is offering research fellowships for 1989–1990. Proposals are sought for Earth science research in meteoritics, mineralogy, petrology, planetary geology, sedimentology, and volcanology. Awards are also offered in biology, the history of science, materials analysis, and several other subject areas.Awards are made to support independent research in residence at the Smithsonian in association with the research staff there. Postdoctoral and graduate student awards are available. Appointments range from 6–12 months for predoctoral and postdoctoral fellowships to 10 weeks for graduate student fellowships. The grants range from $25,000 per year plus allowances for senior postdoctoral fellowships to $3,000 for 10‐week graduate student fellow

摘要:
The Ocean Sciences Section has selected four students to receive Best Student Paper Awards for the 1988 Joint AGU and American Society for Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) Meeting held last January in New Orleans.Brad M. Bebout received a Best Student Paper Award for his paper “The Use of Agricultural Waste (Corn Slash) to Support Microzone‐Associated Nitrogen Fixation by Marine Microorganisms.” Bebout is an M.S. candidate in marine sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His thesis is on “The Role of Marine Fungi in Food Selection and Nutrition of the Salt Marsh Periwinkle Littorina irrorata Say (Gastropoda).” He received his B.A. in biology from the University of California, S

摘要:
The Land‐Sea Interface (LSI) is a region of particular importance to human endeavor. The region includes the exposed outer coast, coastal waters, bays, estuaries, and deltas. Its area is small in comparison with that of the adjacent open ocean or land, but the LSI is at once a region of high biological productivity and complexity and the portion of the ocean most heavily impacted by human activities.The LSI also has a profound effect on the transport of materials between the land and the sea. Chemically reactive materials transported from the land to the sea undergo intense biogeochemical cycling and net transformations within the LSI. There are, for example, important sorption reactions associated with the transition from freshwater to saltwater. These reactions alter the distribution and bioavailibility of metals and may affect their toxicity and bioaccumulatio
