Data from selected stations deeper than 2000 m in the Tasman and Coral Seas are used to prepare meridional sections of salinity, oxygen, and phosphate along the meridian 155� E. between latitudes 14� S. and 42� S., and zonal sections of the same properties between meridians 149� E. and 155� E. in the latitude range 14-15� S. Meridional changes in the salinity minimum, phosphate maximum, and deep salinity maximum indicate circulation below 1500 m. Utilizing all available data, the general circulation of these waters in the Tasman and Coral Seas as a whole is described. Phosphate-rich waters from the Equatorial Western Pacific and probably from the Indian Ocean are found distributed along the western margin to the north and south of the region, at about the 2000 m level. Below this level, well-oxygenated waters of high salinity, presumably from the South-West Pacific, enter the northern Tasman Sea, through the New Caledonian trench. By comparison of temperature, salinity, and oxygen values the depth of the sill connecting the Tasman and Coral Seas is estimated at 3000 m. Along the 155� E. meridian temperatures recorded during the late nineteenth century were warmer by 0. 15-0.3�C than those obtained recently.

Since colonial times, farmers and other rural men and women have organized to protect their livelihoods and communities from the powerful interests of centralized governments, big banks, and large corporations. In protests movements spanning from Shays Rebellion in Massachusetts to the Farmers Holiday Association in Iowa, rural people agitated for control over local politics and for reforms to the political and economic system that would protect their interests. The Populist Party of the late nineteenth century is among the most important of these groups, as farmers in the north and south came together to create a new kind of political community.

The distribution of salinity, dissolved oxygen, and phosphates on the 26.80 σt surface of the Tasman and Coral Seas is examined. The distribution patterns of these properties and the relations of salinity and phosphate and salinity and oxygen values are explained by horizontal mixing of three water types. These originated, one to the north of the Antarctic Convergence, one in the south-west Tasman, possibly in the Australian Bight, and one at the equator in the western Pacific. The major sinking regions and the circulation paths of subtropical waters in the Tasman Sea are deduced from their summer and winter distribution and from the topography of the 26.80 σt, surface.

<p>Surface seawater carbon dioxide was observed from 3 °S to 27 °S along 67 °E of the Indian Ocean in April 2018 and 2019. Partial pressure of CO<sub>2</sub>(pCO<sub>2</sub>) in the surface seawater and the atmosphere were observed every two minutes using an underway CO2 measurement system (General Oceanics Model 8050) installed on R/V Isabu. Surface water temperature and salinity were measured as well. The pCO<sub>2</sub> was measured using Li-7000 NDIR. Standard gases were measured every 8 hours in five classes with concentrations of 0 µatm, 202 µatm, 350 µatm, 447 µatm, and 359.87 µatm. The fCO<sub>2</sub> of atmosphere remained nearly constant at 387 ± 2 µatm, but the surface seawater fCO<sub>2</sub> peaked at about 3 °S and tended to decrease toward the north and south. The distribution of fCO<sub>2</sub> in surface seawater according to latitude tends to be very similar to that of sea surface temperature. In order to investigate the factors that control the distribution of fCO<sub>2</sub> in surface seawater, we analyzed the sea surface temperature, sea surface salinity, and other factors. The effects of salinity are insignificant, and the surface fCO<sub>2</sub> distribution is mainly controlled by sea surface temperature and other factors that can be represented mainly by biological activity and mixing.</p>

Celtic spirituality has a long and distinguished ancestry with its origins in pre-Christian times. It was inculturated among peoples in the far west of Europe, particularly in Ireland, Scotland and the north and south-west of England. It was different from Roman Christianity in distinct ways until the mid-7th century CE when Roman Christianity became the norm in Britain and Ireland. This spirituality has endured throughout the centuries and has experienced a revival from the latter half of the 20th century. From its inception, it has been closely linked to the environment. Over the years many key aspects of Celtic spirituality have been integrated in many religious traditions and shows similarities with and can contribute to a new ethical perspective on environmental issues. This article investigates the current environmental crisis from a faith perspective and attempts to draw lessons from Celtic traditions of spirituality in a scientific age.

AbstractAn unusual opportunity for the study of glaciers in the process of development is afforded in Katmaicaldera in south-western Alaska. A violent eruption in 1912 destroyed the summit of glacier-clad Mount Katmai, creating a caldera 4 km. wide and 800 m. deep. Ice cliffs produced by beheading of the glaciers have since thinned and shrunk away from the rim of the caldera, except in the south-west. There, local reversal of direction of movement has resulted in an ice fall which descends part way down the crater wall. In the past thirty years two small glaciers have formed, near 1525 m. above sea level, within the caldera on large masses of slumped wall-rock below the north and south rims respectively. Elsewhere the sheer walls of the crater descend so steeply to the level of the caldera lake that permanent snowbanks cannot accumulate. The lake, which continues to rise at a rate of more than five meters per year, is at present the primary deterring factor in glacier development in the caldera.

The casa degli amanti (house of the lovers), at the south-west corner of the insula, falls into two fairly distinct halves: the atrium complex, oriented on the street to the west, and the peristyle with its surrounding rooms, oriented on the street to the south and on the property boundary to the east. In the atrium complex, the atrium is misplaced to the south of the central axis, allowing space for two large rooms to the north, one of which was possibly a shop or workshop (5.50 m. × 4.70 m.), with a separate entry from the street (I 10, 10), while the other (5.80 m. × 4.50 m.), decorated with mythological wallpaintings and provided with a wide opening on to the peristyle, must have been a dining-room or oecus (room 8). Each of these had a segmental vault rising from a height of about 3.50 m. at the spring to slightly over 4 m. at the crown. In the first the vault is missing, but the holes for some of its timbers are visible in the east wall and a groove along the north wall marks the seating for the planking attached to them; at a higher level, in the north and south walls, are the remains of beam-holes for the joists of the upper floor or attic (see below). The arrangements in room 8 are now obscured by the modern vault constructed to provide a surface for the reassembled fragments of the ceiling-paintings; but the shape of the vault is confirmed by the surviving plaster of the lunettes, while a beam-hole for the lowest of the vault-timbers is visible above the corner of the western lunette in an early photograph (Superintendency neg. C 1944). The shop I 10, 10 had a small window high in the street wall to the south of Its entrance; whether there were any additional windows above the entrance, it is impossible to say, since this part of the wall is a modern reconstruction. Room 8 was lit by a splayed window cut in the angle of the vault and the eastern lunette, opening into the upper storey of the peristyle.

Malayalam is the language of the south-west of the Madras Presidency. It is the third most important language of the Presidency, the first and the second being Tamil and Telugu respectively. It is spoken in Malabar, Cochin, and Travancore. Out of a total of 5,932,207 inhabitants of these parts, 5,409,350 persons are those who speak Malayalam. These countries, taken as a whole, are bounded on the north, by South Canara, on the east by the far-famed Malaya range of mountains, on the south by the Indian Ocean, and on the west by the Arabian Sea.
