RRS James Cook Cruise 62, 24 Jul-29 Aug 2011. Porcupine Abyssal Plain – sustained observatory research
Full text linkScience rationale for the activities comes from the fact that during the EU Framework programme IV project BENGAL (1996 to 1999) radical changes were noted in fauna living on the abyssal seafloor (Progress in Oceanography, Billett 2001). The changes appeared to be related to changes in upper ocean productivity and the flux of organic matter to the abyss (Wigham et al., 2003). Various hypotheses have been created concerning the effect of total organic carbon input, shown by Lampitt et al (2010) to vary by an order of magnitude between years, the quality (organic geochemistry) of the organic material, and the timing (episodic or regular) of the inputs of organic matter. Large-scale changes in the abundance of the large epibenthic invertebrates by greater than two orders of magnitude, are now known to be mirrored by similar changes, but of a lower magnitude, in the protozoan meiofauna (c. 50 to 250 um in size) (Gooday et al. 2010), metazoan meiofauna (notably nematode and polychaete worms) (Kalogeropoulou et al. 2010) and macrofauna (250 to 1000 um in size) (Soto et al. 2010). The results have been brought together in a Special Volume in Deep-Sea Research II (Lampitt, Billett, and Martin 2010). The work below will help detail how deepsea ecosystems change naturally with time and space and in response to climate-change phenomena. It will be useful in predicting how deep-sea ecosystems will change under various climate change scenarios. In addition, coupled with other time series studies in the NE Pacific (e.g. Smith et al. 2009) and sampling around the Crozet Islands (Wolff et al. 2011), it will indicate how deep-sea ecosystems might change in relation to potential geo-engineering solutions for carbon sequestration by the oceans

RSS James Clark Ross Cruise 221, 26 May – 05 Jun 2010. PAP observatory development
Full text linkThis very short cruise was primarily to deploy a novel moored observatory at PAP (NE Atlantic), a long term study site at which a variety of observations have been made over the past 20 years with increasing levels of intensity and sophistication. This new design was in collaboration with the UK Met Office.In addition to this, a benthic lander was to be deployed which would transmit data by an acoustic link to the surface buoy and hence to land by satellite link. Unfortunately this was lost due to an imploding sphere.A number of equipment trials were also carried out to good effect. In addition studies were made on the effects of high CO2 of calcifying phytoplankton. A team of photographers were present to in order to increase public awareness of observational oceanography and numerous interviews were completed. In addition a daily web diary was maintained by the EuroSITES outreach team
RRS James Cook Cruise 44, 25 Mar - 22 Apr 2010, Trinidad to Jamaica. Hydrothermal activity and deep-ocean biology of the Mid-Cayman Rise
No full textJC044 was a NERC funded research cruise aboard the UK Research Vessel the RRS James Cook the aim of the cruise was to explore the ultra-slow spreading Mid-Cayman Rise (MCR) in the Caribbean for hydrothermal activity. The MCR is the deepest spreading centre on the Earth and is isolated from the contiguous Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the closest mid-ocean spreading centre. The discovery of hydrothermal activity in this area would help us address the scientific questions related to the biogeography of hydrothermal vent organisms, the effect of high pressures on the chemistry of hydrothermal vents and the geological settings of any vents located.We successfully identified 2 active hydrothermal systems with associated chemosynthetic communities. One site named Beebe, after William Beebe, the first man to observe deep-sea marine organisms in situ. The Beebe vent field is at a depth of around 5000m and is the deepest hydrothermal site ever discovered. The second vent site is on top of an ocean core complex, it exhibits unusual chemical properties and we have named this site the Von Damm vent field after the recently deceased Karen Von Damm, a groundbreaking hydrothermal geochemist. After extensive work in the southern area of the ridge we found no evidence of hydrothermal activity, earlier reported evidence (German et al., 2010) may be re-suspended sediment material.<br/

El impacto de la planificación centrada en la persona en las personas con discapacidad intelectual en Inglaterra: Un resumen de hallazgos
Full text linkEn Inglaterra la planificación centrada en la persona es central en la estrategia de Gobierno para el desarrollo y prestación de servicios sociales y sanitarios para las personas con discapacidad intelectual (Valuing people; Departament of Health, 2001). A pesar de esto, ha habido poca evidencia sobre el impacto de la introducción de la PCP o los factores que pueden facilitar o impedir la introducción y efectividad de la PCP (Robertson y Emerserson, en presa; Robertson et al., 2006). De cualquier modo, se ha realizado un estudio longitudinal reciente en Inglaterra del impacto de la PCP en personas con discapacidad intelectual y los resultados se han presentado en una serie de publicaciones (Robertson et al., 2005,2006,2007, en prensa). Este artículo presenta una síntesis de los principales hallazgos presentados en estas publicaciones. Las áreas consideradas en esta síntesis son: el impacto de la PCP en las experiencias vitales de las personas con discapacidad intelectual; los predictores de éxito en la PCP; los obstáculos a la puesta en práctica de la PCP; y los costes directos e indirectos de la PCP
