Abstract:
The study of islands in archaeology was originally biased toward the view that island societies were isolated, a stereotype that continues to be perpetuated in books and television. However, recent research has acknowledged that island societies are generally part of a network and exposed to outside influences. This paper applies island theory to the Northern and Western Isles of Scotland, specifically during the Norse settlement from the 9th century AD onward. Although today these areas are considered on the periphery of Britain, these islands were once at the heart of the Norse settlement of the North Atlantic. The settlement remains of the period in the Northern and Western Isles indicate the inhabitants kept their focus towards the sea, and their success as a central stop-over point within the North Atlantic zone is due partly to the fact that they are islands. This paper will examine to what extent the Northern and Western Isles fit into modern island theory and whether the Norse considered them islands. The paper finishes with a discussion of whether the British Isles and Ireland are, from a theoretical point of view, islands.

Abstract:
The house mouse, Mus musculus , is one of the most widespread and well-studied invasive mammals on islands. It was thought to pose little risk to seabirds, but video evidence from Gough Island, South Atlantic Ocean shows house mice killing chicks of two IUCN-listed seabird species. Mouse-induced mortality in 2004 was a significant cause of extremely poor breeding success for Tristan albatrosses, Diomedea dabbenena (0.27 fledglings/pair), and Atlantic petrels, Pterodroma incerta (0.33). Population models show that these levels of predation are sufficient to cause population decreases. Unlike many other islands, mice are the only introduced mammals on Gough Island. However, restoration programmes to eradicate rats and other introduced mammals from islands are increasing the number of islands where mice are the sole alien mammals. If these mouse populations are released from the ecological effects of predators and competitors, they too may become predatory on seabird chicks.

Abstract:
We compared nestling diet and growth, breeding phenology, breeding success, and adult mass of Atlantic Puffins (Fratercula arctica) between two seabird colonies adjacent to ocean habitat with presumed high and low capelin (Mallotus villosus) abundance in 1996–1998. We hypothesized that puffins at their colony at Gannet Islands, Labrador, where capelin were scarce, would exhibit lower reproductive performance than at Gull Island, Witless Bay, where capelin were abundant. Historically, capelin comprised approximately 60%–95% of the chick diet biomass at both colonies. In the late 1990s, puffin chicks at the Gannet Islands received 3%–24% capelin (by mass), which was 39%–97% less than was received at Gull Island. Postlarval sandlance (Ammodytes sp.) comprised up to 49% (by mass) of the chick diet at the Gannet Islands. Hatching success and fledge success estimates at the Gannet Islands in 1997–1998 were statistically similar to those at Gull Island in 1998. Fledge mass (expressed as percentage of adult mass) was similar between Gannet Islands (69%) and Gull Island (68%). The high interyear variability in chick diet at both colonies and the low variation in breeding performance during our study suggest that Atlantic Puffins in Labrador are resilient to large-scale prey-base changes.

Abstract:
The physiography and climate of Inaccessible and Nightingale Islands are briefly discussed. The vegetation and the major plant associations are described. Notes are given on the ecology and distribution of each taxon. Taxa newly recorded for Inaccessible Island include Agrostis goughensis, A.holgateana, A. wacei, Calamagrostis deschampsiiformis, Carex thouarsii var. recurvata, Conyza albida, Elaphoglossum campylolepium and Uncinia meridensis. One species, C. albida, is alien to the Tristan group. Two native ferns Asplenium platybasis var. subnudum and Blechnum australe were found on Nightingale Island for the first time, and the presence of introduced Malus domestica orchards was recorded. Two unidentified taxa were found that may represent new species: Elaphoglossum sp. at Inaccessible Island and Apium sp. at both Inaccessible and Nightingale Islands. The total number of vascular plant species recorded at Inaccessible and Nightingale Islands now stands at 98 and 43, respectively, of which 26 (28%) and seven (16%) are introduced species. Only Airiplex plebeja and two species of Cotula occur at Nightingale Island but are absent from Inaccessible Island.

Abstract:
North Atlantic trade in the high Middle Ages was centred on Bergen. The Bergen connection was important to the North Atlantic islanders and townsmen who specialized in trading with them, but up to the early fourteenth century did not count for much in Bergen’s total trade. This changed when larger assignments of Icelandic stockfish were sent to Bergen from the 1340s and reexported via the town’s Hanseatic settlement, the later Kontor. During the fifteenth century fish exports from the North Atlantic to Bergen declined sharply as the English increasingly fetched their fish directly from Iceland, and Hanseatic merchants from Hamburg and Lübeck followed in their wake to Iceland and the more southerly islands. Yet, in the author’s opinion, Hanseatic trade with the North Atlantic from Bergen was not reduced to the degree that has often been assumed. And it should not be overlooked that Bergen had economic relations with the North Atlantic islands outside the Hanse.

Walker, Richard James. "The structural evolution of the Faroe Islands, NE Atlantic Margin." Thesis, Durham University, 2010. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/134/.

Full text
Abstract:
The NE Atlantic margin plays host to numerous basins, developed in phases from the Devono-Carboniferous through to the Cenozoic, which record the build up to plate separation and formation of the North Atlantic Ocean. Existing models for this invoke broadly NW-SE extension within the basins, which are segmented by regional-scale NW-SE trending strike-slip lineaments, which are commonly termed ‘transfer zones’. However, there is a general paucity of information concerning the true kinematics of the so-called transfer zones. In this study, the Palaeogene and later structural evolution of the NE Atlantic margin is investigated using abundant field data collected on the Faroe Islands, and systematic observations that characterise the related deformation structures developed in the Faroe Islands Basalt Group (FIBG). Structures in the Faroe Islands provide evidence for a 6-stage tectonic evolution, here split into 3 broad phases: (1a) E-W to NE-SW extension, accommodated by dip-slip N-S and NW-SE trending faults. Continued NE-SW extension (1b) was then accommodated by the emplacement of a regionally significant NW-SE- and NNE-SSW-oriented dyke swarm. Event 1 affects the majority of the FIBG stratigraphy, resulting in thickness variations, most notably across the Judd, Brynhild and Westray (‘transfer’) fault-zones. Continued magmatism and anticlockwise rotation of the extension vector led to (2a) the emplacement of ENE-WSW and ESE-WNW conjugate dykes, followed by intrusion of the large, saucer-shaped sills on the islands. Their intrusion heralded the onset of N-S crustal extension and was followed by (2b) crustal extrusion involving both E-W shortening and further N-S extension facilitated primarily by slip on ENE-WSW (dextral) and ESE-WNW (sinistral) conjugate strike-slip faults, interlinked with minor NE and SW dipping thrust faults. During the final stages of this event (2c), the regional extension vector rotated into a NW-SE orientation that was accommodated predominantly by slip along NE-SW oriented dextral-oblique-slip faults. Event 2 began towards the end of magmatism associated with the FIBG, and most likely continued through to the onset of oceanic-spreading on the Aegir ridge (ca. 55 Ma). Finally, (3) Event 1 and 2 structures were reactivated as extension and extensional-hybrid features, characterised best by the entrainment of clastic material along fault planes. Relative timings of Event 3 structures suggest they formed during a period of compression and uplift following the formation of a through-going mid-ocean ridge system (i.e. on the Reykjanes, Kolbeinsey and Mohns ridges). The progressive anticlockwise rotation of the extension vector identified here is broadly consistent with the most recent NE Atlantic continental break-up reconstructions. Importantly, this model does not require basin-scale transfer zones during the Palaeogene, suggesting instead that these NW-SE faults formed as normal faults during a pre-cursor margin-parallel extension episode (Event 1) prior to the onset of oceanic spreading in the Faroe-Iceland sector. This study emphasises the importance of carrying out detailed field studies in addition to the more usual regional-scale modelling studies, in order to validate and add further detail to basin kinematic histories. Mineralised syn- to post-magmatic fault sets display a recurring zeolite-calcite-zeolite trend in mineralisation products, which precipitate during successive phases of fault development during each individual event. Fault style and damage zone width appear to be related to the stage of fault development, with early fault/vein meshes linking to form through-going structures with associated damage zones. Dykes and sills are found to form their own fractures, rather than exploiting pre-existing sets. Dyke propagation appears to be buoyancy-driven, with magmatic pressure overcoming the minimum compressive stress. Sills, however, most likely seeded at an interface in the stratigraphy between a weak, more ductile material (i.e. a sedimentary horizon), and a rigid material (i.e. basalt lavas) above. Following this initial development, sill growth and propagation would likely be controlled by viscous dissipation, leading to the complex ramp and flat architecture, with rapid intrusion resulting in upward ramping of the sill. The alternation from fault events, to dyke events and back again corresponds to a switch from faulting with mineralisation along extensional hybrid veins, to magmatic intrusions into extension fractures followed by extensional hybrids (conjugates), and back to extensional and shear hybrid faults (again as conjugates). This alternation reflects variations in the differential regional stress, as well as the magmatic evolution of the margin, and most likely relates to the migration of lithospheric thinning northwestwards across the area, towards the eventual axis of break-up. We find that, in particular, faults in basalts are in many ways comparable to faults formed at shallow crustal depths in carbonate rocks and crystalline basement, most likely reflecting the similarities in their mechanical properties under near-surface pressures and temperatures. The nature and style of the post-magmatic fault infills provides compelling evidence to suggest that subterranean cavities associated with faults were persistent open features within the FIBG. Structures equivalent to these late, clastic-filled faults of the Faroes may occur in other parts of the NE Atlantic margin, particularly along the axes of gentle regional-scale folds that are widely developed in the region. The late fault displacements observed are all well below seismic resolution, and such structures may be more widespread across the region than previously anticipated. Importantly, the probable unsealed nature of the clastic infills makes them potential fluid-migration pathways, both up- and across-faults within the Cenozoic volcanic sequences of the NE Atlantic region.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the Channel Islands in the Atlantic Bronze and Early Iron Age and looks at the way islanders defined their own identity and incorporated material culture into existing and emerging social . - structures. It is a study of interaction and the way prehistoric inhabitants of islands engaged with the world around them. Inter-island and island-mainland relations are explored and chronologies for Channel Island later prehistory are refined. In particular, it is proposed that the Early Bronze Age in the Channel Islands does not begin until after 1750/1700 BC, when a series of events are recognised in the archaeological and palaeoenvironmental records. Tumuli are introduced along with specific material culture related to second series barrows of Armorica, contemporary (potentially) with the first bronze hoard. Long term deforestation begins, alongside a rise in the pastoral economy and selective pockets of arable farming. Changing sea levels and improvements in seafaring technology opened up the sea as a mechanism for interaction and enabled islanders to undertake voyages to other places. Such voyages were a way of maintaining alliances, trading goods and gaining knowledge that led to the successful reproduction of Channel Island society. Certainly after 1300 BC the islands become more deeply involved in Atlantic and cross-channel exchange networks as demonstrated by the St Helier Gold Torque and the deposition of bronze hoards of excessive size (three are over 200 pieces each). These hoards also show a divergence from neighbouring French zones through the accumulation of metalwork from a wider geographical area. The ceramic assemblages for the islands show a clear parallel with NW France and in some cases southern Britain. Long term perspectives on the ways islanders impacted on their world are also explored and it is suggested that the intensive process of deforestation that begins to occur in the Early Bronze Age was tempered by sustainable management of the landscape, through a pastoral economy and selective arable farming. This was replaced in the Early Iron Age by aggressive burning strategies and the rapid clearance of land for arable purposes. These activities had a long lasting impact, removing the ancient woodland that had once dominated the prehistoric islands and creating a landscape that was irreversibly altered.

Abstract:
Firstly, hypothesis-led research focussed on the islands of Suouroy and Sandoy in the Faroe Islands. Secondly, comparative led interpretations focussed on the importance of the Faroes within the wider Norse North Atlantic. A landscape-scaled, historical ecology approach incorporating original data from landscape mapping, stratigraphic profile analyses, archaeological survey and semi-structured interviews was developed. Maps were produced of soil degradation and geomorphic features in the Hov catchment and north Sandoy, 226 archaeological structures on two walk-over archaeological surveys were mapped, interviews were made with four Sandoy residents, 86 stratigraphic sections were recorded and a chronological framework was provided by 54 radiocarbon dates. The following interpretations were made: Two significant environmental thresholds have influenced development of the mid-late Holocene Faroe Islands landscape. The most significant occurred prior to human settlement between c.2900-2300 cal yrs BP as a result of deteriorating climate in the North Atlantic. The second is less distinct and occurred as two phases, c.60-400AD and c.400-650 AD. Human impacts through the introduction of livestock may have caused environmental changes at these times but there is no firm evidence of human occupation in the Faroes prior to the sixth century. Human impact in the Faroes has been overshadowed by earlier climatically induced impacts. Human impact in the Faroes is in part limited because dynamic elements of the landscape were already established prior to landnám, because the landscape was open and deforested at the time of the settlement and because erosion was limited by the diversification of subsistence strategies. In Iceland, analyses of 98 sediment stratigraphies incorporating 1127 tephras and 769 calendar dates across 10 landholdings were compared with the Faroes data. It is concluded that Iceland may have suffered more severe environmental degradation because its biota and soils were sensitive to human impact and because the Norse subsistence strategy focussed principally on pastoral agriculture.

Jones, Jennifer Rose. "Land and sea : understanding diet and economies through time in the North Atlantic Islands." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2013. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/57650/.

Abstract:
This thesis explores changes in dietary and economic behaviour through time in the North Atlantic Islands of Scotland, from the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition through to the Norse period. Traditional zooarchaeological techniques are used alongside human and faunal stable isotope analysis to explore past diet of humans and animals. The challenges of integrating these two different datasets and methodologies for enhancing interpretations of these lines of evidence are explored. A suite of faunal isotopic values though time were generated to characterise animal diets, past husbandry strategies, to provide a baseline to interpret human values, and to understand temporal and geographical variations in isotopic values. Faunal isotopic values indicate that shore front resources were used by past populations, and highlight temporal and geographical differences in management practices and foddering strategies. Results demonstrated that marine species were not a major aspect of diet in the Neolithic, supporting Schulting and Richards (2002a). In the Bronze Age there is an increase in the quantity of fish bones present within the faunal assemblages in the Western Isles, however they were not being consumed in sufficient quantities to affect the human bone collagen isotopic values. During the Iron Age there is a further increase in the quantity of fish bones present in assemblages in the Western Isles, and evidence of fish consumption in human and pigs. In contrast evidence of marine food consumption in Iron Age Orkney is minimal, indicating divergent dietary and economic practices in place between these regions. During the Norse period fish bones account for high proportions of the zooarchaeological assemblages in both Orkney and the Western Isles, with different species being exploited. Finally comparisons are drawn with island and inland sites in Britain and Europe, exploring how far these dietary and economic practices observed are influenced by localised environmental conditions, and wider social factors.

Abstract:
Durante muito tempo as ilhas vêm sendo fundamentais para pesquisa em ecologia e biologia evolutiva. Esses estudos tornaram possível a elaboração de importantes teorias nesses campos e que puderam ser extrapoladas para diversos outros ambientes. O aumento dos desmatamentos e da fragmentação de habitats tem levado ao isolamento dos organismos em \"ilhas\" dentro do continente. A perda de diversidade em fragmentos é uma situação preocupante. Populações restritas a ilhas ou fragmentos possuem maior probabilidade de extinção. As abelhas possuem um papel fundamental nos ecossistemas e por isso a extinção de uma população terá impacto nos outros níveis tróficos. Em virtude disso, o objetivo desse trabalho foi testar a hipótese de que populações das abelhas Tetragonisca angustula e Bombus morio de ilhas com mais de 100 ha localizados nos estados de Santa Catarina (SC), Paraná (PR), São Paulo (SP) e Rio de Janeiro (RJ), e populações continentais em áreas próximas a remanescentes de Mata Atlântica nos estados de Minas Gerais (MG), PR, RJ, SC e SP possuem baixa diversidade genética e, por isso, estariam mais propensas à extinção. Nossos resultados mostraram que a espécie T. angustula apresenta alta filopatria de rainhas e baixa diversidade genética mitocondrial. Por outro lado, os microssatélites mostraram menor estruturação e alta/moderada diversidade genética, indicando que os machos são o sexo dispersor. Para a espécie B. morio, a diversidade genética observada para ambos os marcadores foi alta, com exceção de duas populações. As fêmeas também apresentaram maior estruturação populacional, enquanto que para os machos essa estruturação praticamente não existiu. Portanto, as populações das espécies T. angustula e B. morio não apresentam inclinação à extinção. A sobrevivência em ambientes urbanos e a grande capacidade de migração dos machos parecem ser fatores fundamentais para isso. Além disso, essas características parecem ser as responsáveis pelo não isolamento genético entre muitas das populações geograficamente isoladas
Islands have been key research fields on the ecology and evolutionary biology for a long time. The study of their biota has made possible the development of important theories that could be extrapolated to other environments. The increase in deforestation and habitat fragmentation has led to isolation of the organisms in \"islands\" within the continent. Loss of diversity in fragments is a concern, because nowadays many species only exist in fragments. Populations restricted to islands or fragments have higher probability of extinction. Bees have a key role in ecosystems and the extinction of their populations will impact other trophic levels. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that populations of two bee species, Tetragonisca angustula and Bombus morio, in islands with more than 100 ha located in the states of Santa Catarina (SC), Paraná (PR), São Paulo (SP) and Rio de Janeiro (RJ), and mainland populations in areas near the Atlantic Forest remnants in the states of Minas Gerais (MG), PR, RJ, SC and SP have low genetic diversity and therefore would be more prone to extinction. Our results to T. angustula showed low mitochondrial genetic diversity which can be associated to queen philopatry behavior. Moreover, microsatellites showed lower structure and moderate/high genetic diversity, indicating a greater dispersion by males. The genetic diversity observed for B. morio for both markers was high, excepting two populations. Females also had higher population structure than detected for males. Therefore, most of T. angustula and B. morio populations are not prone to extinction, mainly because of their capability to survive in urban environments and high male migration. Therefore, these characteristics seem to be responsible for allowing many of the geographically isolated populations do not present genetic isolation

Abstract:
During 2020 and 2021, a migration crisis has been developing on the Canary Islands in Spain. Large numbers of African migrants have made the dangerous journey from West Africa to the Canary Islands, risking their lives on the Atlantic Sea. Humanitarian aid organizations, like the Spanish Red Cross, are working intensively to handle the humanitarian needs of the migrants on land and on sea. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze why the migration crisis on the Canary Islands occurs. The migrants originate from different African countries with different reasons why they choose to migrate. In some countries, there are ongoing wars and conflicts, like in Mali. In other countries, people migrate because of poverty, climate change and displacement to seek a better life. This thesis will answer why Senegalese people choose to migrate on this dangerous route on the Atlantic Sea. The study is based on interviews with three Senegalese migrants and two representatives of humanitarian aid organizations. The analysis has been made from different migration theories. It shows that an important reason why the Senegalese migrants choose to migrate is that it is no longer possible to make a living by fishing and provide for their families. This works as an important push factor to migrate. Another push factor is the lack of trust in the Senegalese government. An important pull factor are the success stories from migrants who have made the journey through the Canary Islands. According to the aspiration and capabilities theory, the aspirations to migrate increase when a country goes from being very poor to richer. This is because the knowledge about the surrounding world and the opportunities increase. The study shows that migrants are well aware of the risks when crossing the Atlantic Sea, but they choose the route because there are almost no legal ways for them to migrate.

Full text
Abstract:
The objective of the archaeobotanical research presented here is to assess the introduction of Norse agricultural economies to Iceland and the-Faroe Islands during the 9`h and 10`h centuries AD, and the impact of the settlers' behaviour on plant communities until AD 1500. The major themes concern the presettlement landscape and environmental conditions, the impact of human activity on these landscapes, the non-native plant taxa introduced, the short and long-term change in local environments, and the adaptation of the Norse economic system and living conditions to the new environments. These themes are approached through the comparison of two datasets, one based on material from monoliths taken from peat sequences ('off-site' samples) and the other on the analysis of samples of deposits from archaeological sites ('on-site' samples). Pre-settlement conditions consisted of a mosaic of acidic, nutrient-poor wetland, grassland or heath in the valley bottoms. Woodland cover was dominated by Betula and Salix, which was denser in Iceland than in the Faroe Islands. PreNorse changes in the Faroese landscape are evident, which relate to an increasing body of material that has been interpreted as evidence for pre-Norse settlement. At the time of landnäm, there is evidence for woodland clearance, although this does not happen uniformly across the landscape. Clearance can be interpreted as a change in the landscape due to the introduction of an economy based on animal grazing, and the collection of wood and twigs for fuel and fodder. Crop and wild plant taxa were introduced, although the range of plants is not as broad as in Scandinavia and the British Isles. Fuel collection and building construction were determined by the lack of suitable wood sources in the newly settled areas. In the longer term, there is evidence for soil enrichment in the areas around settlements, continuing deforestation and erosion.

Abstract:
Der Eintrag von Mineralstaub in den Ozean geschieht entweder durch trockene oder durch nasse Deposition. Dies ist ein wichtiger Prozess um ozeanische Organismen wie Phytoplankton mit Nährstoffen (z.B. Nitrat, Phosphat oder Eisen) zu versorgen. Viele Modelle befassen sich mit der Simulation von Depositionsflüssen von Mineralstaub in den Ozean. Messungen von Massendepositionsflüssen von Mineralstaub sind hingegen selten. Daher ist es von großer Notwendigkeit, diese Messungen durchzuführen um die vielen Modelle zu validieren und den Mineralstaubzyklus besser zu verstehen. Innerhalb des SOPRAN Projektes (Surface Ocean PRocesses in the ANthropocene) wird der Materialtransport zwischen der Atmosphäre und dem Ozean untersucht. Die Messungen dafür wurden auf den Kapverdischen Inseln durchgeführt, über welchen der Saharastaub durch die Passatwindzirkulation vorwiegend transportiert wird. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit werden in-situ Messungen von trockener Deposition von Mineralstaub in den Ozean präsentiert. Verschiedene Methoden wurden auf ihre Anwendbarkeit getestet und deren Ergebnisse miteinander verglichen. Alle Messergebnisse liegen im Bereich der Messunsicherheiten, wodurch ein Satz qualitätsgesicherter Daten aufgebaut werden konnte. Diese Daten wurden mit den Ergebnissen eines regionalen Chemie-Transport Modells verglichen. Modellierte Massendepositionsflüsse von Mineralstaub waren manchmal doppelt so hoch wie gemessene. Die größte Unsicherheit der Modelle liegt in der Emission des Mineralstaubs, die im Transport und der Deposition fortgesetzt wird. Weitere Unterschiede entstehen durch den Vergleich von Punktmessungen mit einer Gitterzelle, wenn der Staub nicht gleichmäßig über die Gitterzelle verteilt ist. Zusammenfassend wurden Massendepositionsmessungen von Mineralstaub erfolgreich mit verschiedenen Methoden durchgeführt. Mit den Erfahrungen aus dieser Studie ist es nun möglich, Langzeitmessungen von Mineralstaubdeposition in den Ozean erstellen. Diese Daten können von Atmosphärenmodellierern für ihre Modellvalidierung genutzt werden. Anwender von Ozeanmodellen und SOPRAN Partner werden diese Ergebnisse nutzen um z.B. die ozeanische Reaktion auf den Mineralstaubeintrag zu untersuchen
The input of mineral dust to the oceans, via dry or wet deposition, is an important process, because the entrainment of nutrients (e.g., Nitrate, Phosphor and Iron) is essential for oceanic life such as phytoplankton. A lot of effort has been done to model the dust deposition fluxes to the ocean. However, field measurements concerning the deposition flux are sparse. Therefore, those measurements are needed in order to verify the huge amount of model outputs and to better understand the mineral dust cycle. Within the project SOPRAN (Surface Ocean PRocesses in the ANthropocene), the influence of material exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean is investigated. Measurements were carried out at the Cape Verde Islands in the direct outflow of the Saharan Desert. This study presents the first in-situ measurements of the dry mass deposition flux of mineral dust to the ocean. The applicability of different methods was tested and the results were compared to each other. The results of the measured data were comparable and a set of quality assured data could be built up. Those results were compared to the output of a regional chemistry- transport model. The modeled mass deposition flux was sometimes double as high as the measured one. The main uncertainty of the models is the emission of mineral dust at the source region, proceeding in the transport and emission of mineral dust. Furthermore, comparing single point measurements with outputs of a grid cell leads to differences in deposition fluxes by an inhomogeneous distribution of the mineral dust layer. Summarizing, the measurements of the mass deposition flux of mineral dust could be performed successfully with several methods. With the expertise of this study, long-term observations of the mineral dust deposition to the ocean can now be established. These data can be used by atmosphere modelers to validate their models. Ocean modelers and partners of the SOPRAN project will use these data to investigate e.g., the biological response of the ocean to mineral dust entrainment

Abstract:
The recent intensification in irregular maritime migrations in the Atlantic route through the Canary Islands, which is employed to reach the European mainland from Africa, coincides in time with the presence of the coronavirus pandemic and incorporates some novelties involving a flow that has been present in the archipelago’s evolution for almost three decades. It also exhibits many similarities with the permanent manifestation of this influx, even though the scant planning and weak response initially implemented in an effort to comprehensively manage this migration has placed the phenomenon at the forefront of the current affairs and debate in the region. As a result, a social context of enormous uncertainty due to the health and economic crisis, the direct and almost real-time knowledge of the outcome of many crossings thanks to social media, together with the confusion sown by how this mobility is being managed, all raise the need to reconsider its analysis in order to ascertain its current characteristics and keys to its understanding.

Full text
Abstract:
This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) describes the continuing efforts towards incorporating rapid tidal time-series reconstruction and prediction capabilities into the Coastal Hazards System (CHS) and the Stochastic Storm Simulation System (StormSim). The CHS (Nadal-Caraballo et al. 2020) is a national effort for the quantification of coastal storm hazards, including a database and web tool (https://chs.erdc.dren.mil) for the deployment of results from the Probabilistic Coastal Hazard Analysis (PCHA) framework. These PCHA products are developed from regional studies such as the North Atlantic Coast Comprehensive Study (NACCS) (Nadal-Caraballo et al. 2015; Cialone et al. 2015) and the ongoing South Atlantic Coast Study (SACS). The PCHA framework considers hazards due to both tropical and extratropical cyclones, depending on the storm climatology of the region of interest. The CHS supports feasibility studies, probabilistic design of coastal structures, and flood risk management for coastal communities and critical infrastructure. StormSim (https://stormsim.erdc.dren.mil) is a suite of tools used for statistical analysis and probabilistic modeling of historical and synthetic storms and for stochastic design and other engineering applications. One of these tools, the Coastal Hazards Rapid Prediction System (CHRPS) (Torres et al. 2020), can perform rapid prediction of coastal storm hazards, including real-time hurricane-induced flooding. This CHETN discusses the quantification and validation of the Advanced Circulation (ADCIRC) tidal constituent database (Szpilka et al. 2016) and the tidal reconstruction program Unified Tidal analysis (UTide) (Codiga 2011) in the Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands (PR/USVI) coastal regions. The new methodology discussed herein will be further developed into the Rapid Tidal Reconstruction (RTR) tool within the StormSim and CHS frameworks.

Idris, Iffat. LGBT Rights and Inclusion in Small Island Developing States (SIDS). Institute of Development Studies (IDS), February 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2021.067.

Full text
Abstract:
This review looks at the extent to which LGBT rights are provided for under law in a range of Small Island Developing States (SIDS), and the record on implementation/enforcement, as well as approaches to promote LGBT rights and inclusion. SIDS covered are those in the Caribbean, Pacific, and Atlantic-Indian Ocean-South China Sea (AIS) regions. The review draws on a mixture of grey literature (largely from international development agencies/NGOs), academic literature, and media reports. While the information on the legal situation of LGBT people in SIDS was readily available, there was far less evidence on approaches/programmes to promote LGBT rights/inclusion in these countries. However, the review did find a number of reports with recommendations for international development cooperation generally on LGBT issues. Denial of LGBT rights and discrimination against LGBT people is found to varying extents in all parts of the world. It is important that LGBT people have protection in law, in particular the right to have same-sex sexual relations; protection from discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation; and the right to gender identity/expression. Such rights are also provided for under international human rights conventions such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, while the Sustainable Development Goals are based on the principle of ‘leave no one behind'.
