By peaceful means ::international adjudication and arbitration : essays in honour of David D. Caron /
No full textDistinguished scholars and practitioners commemorate and expand upon the work of international judge, arbitrator, and professor, David D. Caron (1952-2018). 'By Peaceful Means' is an insightful examination of how international dispute resolution seeks to avert disaster and mitigate discord, and how it might continue to do so in our uncertain future
Remarks By David D. Caron
No full textIn my lecture, I address an issue that is underappreciated, certainly not addressed, yet critically important to what international law values—the theme of this year's ASIL Annual Meeting. To put the topic in dramatic terms, it is that scene at a dinner party where all appears serene but then a seemingly minor comment gives rise to a harsh response; it is that moment when there is a glimpse of a serious disagreement beneath the surface that has bubbled up unexpectedly.</jats:p

Dissertation Abstract:
Single-celled microbial eukaryotes (protists) mediate critical elemental transformations that support ecosystem function. An overarching goal in microbial ecology is to link the metabolic roles of individual microbes to food web structure, when will enable a better understanding of the biogeochemical processes driving marine ecosystems. The central goal of my dissertation work was to characterize protistan community structure and diversity in two regions in the Pacific Ocean: off the coast of California in the San Pedro Channel and northeast of Hawai’i in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. I used molecular techniques and bioinformatics to improve how we describe the diversity and activity of in situ protistan communities. By pairing traditional DNA-based tag sequencing with ribosomal RNA sequences, changes in protistan community structure and activity were found to correspond to depth, proximity to coastline, season, or time of day. Further, a metatranscriptome survey provided one of the first accounts of protistan physiological ecology across a depth gradient. Comparing transcript abundances (mRNA) among euphotic and sub-euphotic zone depths revealed the metabolic flexibility among key protistan lineages to rely on alternate metabolic modes/nutritional strategies (e.g. phototrophy at the surface, heterotrophy below the euphotic zone). This dissertation work addressed long-standing ecological questions regarding the metabolic roles of protists that we otherwise have no other way of observing in situ by using RNA-derived sequence information to characterize protistan diversity and metabolic potential.
