PHYTOPIA: Discovery of the Marine Ecosystem
The Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences has developed a
comprehensive CD-ROM on phytoplankton and its role in the marine
ecosystem. It is entitled "Phytopia: Discovery of the Marine Ecosystem",
and is available through an on-line order form
(http://www.bigelow.org/phytopia).
"Phytopia" has received support from NASA and the
National Science Foundation. It has a wealth of new images, animations,
microscope- and satellite-derived data sets, and multimedia tools to
discover why the marine ecosystem is critical to human existence.
Also included in "Phytopia" are three-dimensional cell
models and a virtual microscope tool for viewing organisms at various
magnifications, under various epifluorescence techniques, and by
scanning electron microscopy. "Phytopia" has an interactive satellite
image tool that helps students understand seasonal changes in
environmental factors (sunlight, ocean temperature, wind and ocean
currents) that affect phytoplankton productivity and ocean health.
These images focus on five specific regions: the Gulf of Maine, U.S.
west coast, Gulf of Mexico, the British Isles, and South Africa. The
"Bloom Activation Tool" challenges users to create a Gulf of Maine
phytoplankton bloom by choosing sun, temperature, and wind conditions.

KEY OCEAN FISH SPECIES RAVAGED, STUDY FINDS
from The Washington Post
Industrial fishing practices have decimated every one of the world's
biggest and most economically important species of fish, according to a new
and detailed global analysis that challenges current fisheries protection
policies.
Fully 90 percent of each of the world's large ocean species,
including cod,
halibut, tuna, swordfish and marlin, has disappeared from the world's
oceans in recent decades, according to the Canadian analysis -- the first
to use historical data dating to the beginning of large-scale fishing, in
the 1950s.
The new research found that fishing has become so efficient that it
typically takes just 15 years to remove 80 percent or more of any species
that becomes the focus of a fleet's attention. Some populations have
disappeared within just a few years, belying the oceans' reputation as a
refuge and resource of nearly infinite proportions.

NASA FINDS SOOT HAS IMPACT ON GLOBAL CLIMATE
NASA Press Release: 03-168
A team of researchers, led by NASA and Columbia
University scientists, found airborne, microscopic, black-
carbon (soot) particles are even more plentiful around the
world, and contribute more to climate change, than was
previously assumed by the Intergovernmental Panel of Climate
Change (IPCC).
The researchers concluded if these soot particles are not
reduced, at least as rapidly as light-colored pollutants, the
world could warm more quickly.
The findings appear in the latest issue of the Proceedings of
the National Academy of Sciences. It is authored by Makiko
Sato, James Hansen and others from NASA's Goddard Institute
for Space Studies (GISS) and Columbia University, New York;
Oleg Dubovik, Brent Holben and Mian Chin of NASA's Goddard
Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md.; and Tica Novakov,
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, Calif.
Sato, Hansen and colleagues used global atmospheric
measurements taken by the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET).
AERONET is a global network of more than 100 sun photometers
that measure the amount of sunlight absorbed by aerosols
(fine particles in the air) at wavelengths from ultraviolet
to infrared. The scientists compared the AERONET data with
Chin's global-aerosol computer model and GISS climate model,
both of which included sources of soot aerosols consistent
with the estimates of the IPCC.
The researchers found the amount of sunlight absorbed by soot
was two-to-four times larger than previously assumed. This
larger absorption is due in part to the way the tiny carbon
particles are incorporated inside other larger particles:
absorption is increased by light rays bouncing around inside
the larger particle.
According to the researchers, the larger absorption is
attributable also to previous underestimates of the amount of
soot in the atmosphere. The net result is soot contributes
about twice as much to warming the world as had been
estimated by the IPCC.
Black carbon or soot is generated from traffic, industrial
pollution, outdoor fires and household burning of coal and
biomass fuels. Soot is a product of incomplete combustion,
especially of diesel fuels, biofuels, coal and outdoor
biomass burning. Emissions are large in areas where cooking
and heating are done with wood, field residue, cow dung and
coal, at a low temperature that does not allow for complete
combustion. The resulting soot particles absorb sunlight,
just as dark pavement becomes hotter than light pavement.
Both soot and the light-colored tiny particles, most of which
are sulfates, pose problems for air quality around the world.
Efforts are beginning to reduce the sulfate aerosols to
address air quality issues.
"There is a pitfall, however, in reducing sulfate emissions
without simultaneously reducing black carbon emissions,"
Hansen said. Since soot is black, it absorbs heat and causes
warming. Sulfate aerosols are white, reflect sunlight, and
cause cooling. At present, the warming and cooling effects of
the dark and light particles partially balance.
This research continues observations of global climate
change. It was funded by NASA's Earth Science Enterprise. The
Enterprise is dedicated to understanding the Earth as an
integrated system and applying Earth System Science to
improve prediction of climate, weather, and natural hazards
using the unique vantage point of space.

Fellowship Program Encourages the Use of National Parks for Scientific Research
The National Park Service (NPS), National Park Foundation (NPF), and
Ecological Society of America (ESA) are pleased to announce the 2003
National Parks Ecological Research (NPER) Fellowship Program. The
program encourages and supports outstanding post-doctoral research in
ecological sciences related to the flora of U.S. National Parks. For the
purpose of this program, National Parks refer to all sites administered
by the National Park System including national monuments, preserves,
reserves, lakeshores, seashores, rivers and scenic riverways, trails,
historic sites, military parks, battlefields, etc. The program has been
funded through a generous grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
The program will award up to three fellowships each year to researchers
who have recently completed their Ph.D. Awards are made for one to three
years to support research in any area of ecology related to the flora of
the National Parks. Research topics can address any level of ecological
organization, ranging from populations, species interactions, and
community patterns, to landscape and ecosystem level processes
associated with plants. Research should focus on questions that advance
the science of ecology independent of immediate Park needs. Plants,
cryptogamic crusts, lichens, or mosses must be the main focus of the
research. Research that takes advantage of the range of environments,
conditions, and scales available in National Parks is of particular
interest.
Additional information and application materials for the 2003
fellowships are available at http://www.esa.org/nper. Completed
applications must be received at ESA Headquarters between September 1,
2003 and October 1, 2003.
