Meteorological drivers of melt at two nearby glaciers in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica by Marte G. Hofsteenge, Nicolas J. Cullen, Jonathan P. Conway, Carleen H. Reijmer, Michiel R. van den Broeke, Marwan Katurji

“…The glaciers are located only 30 km apart, but have different local climates; Taylor Glacier is generally drier and windier than Commonwealth Glacier, which receives more snowfall due to its proximity to the coast. Commonwealth Glacier shows more inter-annual melt variability, explained by variable albedo due to summer snowfall events. …”

Les chutes de la Lobé, un patrimoine géoculturel exceptionnel sur la côte camerounaise entre tourisme durable et préservation des identités culturelles by Mesmin Tchindjang, Marcel Hugues Etoga

“…Sa reconnaissance définitive comme patrimoine bute sur les tergiversations des décideurs dont les options d’industrialisation sont privilégiées au mépris de la gestion intégrée et du tourisme durable comme le recommandent l’OMT et l’ONUDI à travers le projet COAST STEP. L’objectif de ce texte est d’analyser, au moyen d’observations, d’enquêtes de terrain et d’entretiens, l’échec de ce processus tout en prenant en compte l’insertion du tourisme durable dans cet espace balnéaire, la logique et la contribution des acteurs, puis, les problèmes de son développement. …”

Grazing mortality as a controlling factor in the uncultured non-cyanobacterial diazotroph (Gamma A) around the Kuroshio region by T. Sato, T. Sato, T. Yamaguchi, K. Hidataka, S. Sogawa, T. Setou, T. Kodama, T. Kodama, T. Shiozaki, K. Takahashi

“…In this study, we investigated the diazotroph community structure using <i>nifH</i> amplicon sequencing and quantified the growth and microzooplankton grazing mortality rate of Gamma A using a combination of dilution experiments and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in well-lit waters at the northern edge of the Kuroshio Current off the southern coast of Japan. In the study region, Gamma A was ubiquitous and dominant in the diazotroph communities, whereas cyanobacterial diazotrophs had lower relative abundances. …”
